The full review by the NRC Licensing Board of the solar and wind contentions
of the anti-nuclear group NIRS regarding the new unit at Calvert Cliffs is
at:
http://www.nirs.org/nukerelapse/calvert/10cruling.pdf
The Staff, after a 64 page review, dismisses the contentions of NIRS
regarding the potential for wind and solar development in MD. In skimming
the NRC decision LBP-12-17 mentioned by Sandy it is clear that there are
conclusions reached as to significant limitations in the potential of solar
and wind development power generation in MD to limit environmental impacts.
The final Conclusion stated by the NRC is:
"VI. CONCLUSION
The Board finds that, while the FEIS analysis of the combination alternative
was deficient
for the two reasons we have identified, the FEIS, as supplemented, satisfies
the requirements of
NEPA and 10 C.F.R. Part 51."
FEIS = Final Environmental Impact Statement
NEPA = National Environmental Policy Act
The content of the decision is quite informative. It discusses how a utility
may purchase REC [Renewable Energy Credits] to satisfy the requirements that
might be imposed as to how much wind or solar is produced. The NRC discusses
that a utility does not actually have to use the power generated by a REC,
just pay the cost of purchasing the REC. The power produced, distant from
MD, in most cases can not be used by the purchasing utility because of the
limitations of long distance transmission. Also as wind power generation in
any given local area grows to a non-trivial level, the variability of wind
requires that a utility build second power plants in the form of
quick-ramping gas turbine plants increasing the pollutant releases for any
unit of generation, and adding to the cost. In essence the utilities end up
building almost 2 power plants [ gas plus wind] to get the output of one
baseload non-wind power plant
It is obvious that when utilities end up purchasing REC and competing for
them, the cost will go up and the electricity cost to the consumer will go
up sharply.
As one looks more closely at wind and solar electric generation, it is ever
more obvious that the benefits as to environmental impact limitations and
cost reductions are largely a shell game.

The briefing won't come up on my computer for some reason. Does someone have
the Cliff notes on this? Is the NRC really commenting on the wind and solar
issue?

The Licensing Board also issued decisions onNIRS' solar and wind
contention, and another contention related to Fukushima Task Force
issues.
On July 26, 2012, NIRS held a press briefing on the expected Calvert
Cliffs-3 decision and its implications for the nuclear industry with
Michael Mariotte of NIRS, Bob Eye, attorney for intervenors in the
South Texas licensing proceeding, and former NRC Commissioner Peter
Bradford. You can listen to the briefing here. Michael Mariotte's
opening statement is here.

To state the obvious, NIRS won, however it won on a legal
technicality. It did not win based on the safety of the reactor. I
would say that's not much of a victory.
