[ RadSafe ] President Obama nominates Dr. Allison Macfarlane to NRC

[Doug Aitken]

Maybe because of the last paragraph of her Bio:
<<In 2006 MIT Press published her book, Uncertainty Underground: Yucca Mountain and the Nation's High-Level Nuclear Waste, which explores the unresolved technical issues for nuclear waste disposal at Yucca Mountain, Nevada.>>

Which probably guarantees no fresh position on YM from the new management..........

This makes my wonder, why on Earth can't one of the already seasoned current Commissioners take the Chair?  It reminds me of when Pres. Bush nominated a brand new guy (Roberts) for Chief Justice.  Is there some rule that I don't know about?
