Norm your statement does not make sense:
>What UCS and Dave insist on is that NRC follow its own rules. As Radsafers I'm sure that >you would agree that NRC should follow its own rules when it comes to safety. For example >the steam generators at Indian Point wouldn't have had a tube rupture if NRC had followed >its own rules and required IP to replace their defective steam gen. Just what NRC rule requires that a utility replace a
steam generator? Nuclear plants are allowed to operate with known leakage
via the SG's. The NRC's hammer is in the Technical Specifications that
requires the plant to shut down when the leakage exceeds or is expected to
exceed a predetermined known and conservative value. If the plant is under
a special requirements for degraded SGs the replacement is based on percent of
damaged tubes that have been plugged.
Since you evidently know very little about nuclear safety and your
statements prove that, you must be Anti-nuke for spreading false and damaging
innuendoes.
