Thu, Jan 18, 2007 8:23 AM Vermont Yankee license renewal To the NRC:
The recent occurrence at the Monticello Nuclear Plant where a large cabinet of safety related circuitry fell from a girder due to weld fatique is a good example of the folly of relicensing older plants. I worked for Northern States Power and knew a lot of the startup crew for Monticello. Back then most of the startup personnel were utility folks who had worked at the Pathfinder Plant in the Dakotas for NSP. Quality Assurance for such items as I&C circuit boxes and such were virtually non-existant. Piping of course was controlled but there was little thought to welding the hangers for electrical boxes onto structural steel. As a result, I feel the Monticello occurrence was just a bellweather of what is to come with these older generation plants. To allow them to run past their original license period is not in the public interest unless the utility is willing to spend a considerable sum of money upgrading even mundane items like electrical box mounting.
