UCS- NRC Relies on Falsified Safety Studies (correction)

["Faillace, Ernie" <FaillaceE@TTNUS.COM>]

All,



My statement that the "Calvert Cliffs plant first applied to NRC for such a

renewal over 10 years ago" is incorrect. I was thinking about their ISFSI

license application and not the power plant license renewal, which was

submitted to NRC in April 1998 (only 4 years ago).  Arguably, though, it is

likely that the application took several years to complete prior to

submittal to NRC, so that such analyses have been conducted for at least the

past 5 years.



My apologies if this was a cause for confusion.

Norm et al.



The contention in this paper (http://www.ucsusa.org/energy/nuc_risk.html)

that:



"Nuclear plant risk assessments are really not risk assessments because

potential accident consequences are not evaluated. They merely examine

accident probabilities -- only half of the risk equation."



is a false statement when applied to the reactor license renewal process,

which has been implemented ever since ...
