[quote:Waterbug:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzM2MDUzNDA1XzQwQUUzMUJC] Could they get their heads any further up their asses..? Dammit! Nuclear Regulatory Commission Should Reject Lawmakers’ Call for Watering Down, Slowing Down Post-Fukushima Safety Upgrades http://www.ucsusa.org/news/press_release/nrc-should-reject-calls-to.html [snip] The Union of Concerned Scientists today sent a letter to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) urging the agency to reject recent [b]requests by House and Senate Republicans to weaken critical post-Fukushima safety reforms and slow down their implementation.[/b] UCS’s letter is in response to recent letters sent to the NRC by Senate and House Republicans [b]complaining that the agency is moving too quickly with costly post-Fukushima safety upgrade requirements. [/b] The House and Senate letters also criticized an NRC staff recommendation that the agency require the owners of General Electric Mark I and Mark II boiling water reactors—[b]the same kind of reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant[/b]—to install filtered vents to reduce radioactive releases in the event of an accident. [b]Twenty-three of the 104 currently operating reactors in the United States are Mark I reactors.[/b] Another eight are Mark II designs. [/quote]
