Fukushima-related Comments for 8-17-2012 Good morning, Meeting Comments I took 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> and 14 minutes and watched the (8-7-2012) NRC-recorded "Briefing on the Status of Lessons Learned from the Fukushima Daiichi Accident." Here are some comments:
It begins with an (unrelated) Calvert Cliffs affirmation session.
It does not provide a title for the Fukushima-related meeting.
I initially had trouble hearing the audio: it being much too faint.
I was favorably impressed with the selection of members for the first, (non-NRC), panel.
Somewhere in the meeting, one commissioner stated that an overall integrated plan would have been more efficient.
He is probably right. However, I do not believe we could have accepted the time (delay) necessary for this to have been done.
Another commissioner asked both panels to identify those unknown obstacles that might occur. I was puzzled by this predict-the-future question. We are doing FLEX because we, in Japan, were unable to predict the future.
When talking of unloading BWR elevated spent fuel pools, I would prefer that the terms "5 year unloading" or "delayed unloading" be used instead of the words I heard in the meeting.
Finally, the most valuable part of the meeting to me is the identification that we can't put a limit on time, (72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />),
that the station batteries are operable in an accident. I think this was covered by the 3 rd NRC panelist from the left in response to a question by the chairman.
Thank you, Tom Gurdziel 1
