[quote:Waterbug:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzM1Mzc4NzYwXzdFNjU2MEI5] Is there any doubt that this is pure insanity...? This has me dumbfounded.. 8 million people live within 50 miles. This plant is rated in the bottom third for safety amongst US NPP's. Limerick nuke plant re-licensing delayed by courts http://www.dailylocal.com/article/20121231/NEWS01/121239936/limerick-nuke-plant-re-licensing-delayed-by-courts#full_story [snip] The operating licenses on the two nuclear reactors at Limerick expire Oct. 26, 2024, for Unit 1, and June 22, 2029, for Unit 2. Exelon has submitted a request for a 20-year extension on both licenses, and a final decision had been expected as early as this coming April. Following in the wake of the Japanese Fukushima disaster and an unforeseen earthquake near a Virginia nuclear plant a year earlier,[b] it was revealed in May that[color=red] the existence of an earthquake fault beneath Exelon Nuclear’s Limerick Generating Station [/color][color=red]would not be a factor [/color]considered by the government in licensing renewal. [/b] At Limerick, ground was broken in 2007 for a dry cask storage system that is now storing the plant’s older, colder spent fuel.[b][color=red] All the fuel that has ever been used at Limerick since it began operating remains on site to this day. [/color][/b] Out of the nation’s 104 operational nuclear power reactors, the NRC says 71 have been approved for license renewals while 14, including the Limerick units, are under review. [b][color=red] In its entire history, the NRC has never denied a license renewal request. [/color][/b] [/quote]
