Charles, 

In your latest comments, I find nothing to disagree with. In summary, 
you state that the NRC does their job effectively, and that economic 
considerations were only secondary to safety concerns. If that is the 
case, there is no argument. Based on this assumption, then one must 
consider whether or not another plant that continues to operate when 
there is an issue to mitigate, is operating safely or not. You 
presume to consider the plant unsafe? Otheriwse, you would have not 
insinuated that it should have been shutdown. Without knowing all the 
specifics, I submit that we don't have all the facts to base any 
conclusion. However, I will agree with you that there have been 
situations where a plant should have been shutdown, and they did not. 
I hope this is the case and that the plant that continues to operate 
in an unsafe mode, is the outlier.
