- CREDO; Mike Florio; Sepideh Khosrowjah; Shane, Raeann; Woollen, Mary; CHAIRMAN Resource; Donald Mosier; Michael Blood Diablo, San Onofre and Holtec canisters Thanks for sharing the link that included this excellent film called Dark Circle. It talks about the lethal plutonium that is produced by Diablo Canyon and all nuclear plants. It includes a young Jerry Brown, clearly understanding the risks of nuclear power and the waste. As Governor, Jerry Brown now has the ability to make sure the nuclear waste is stored as safely as possible by ensuring Edison does not receive the money to buy inferior waste storage canisters that may fail within 30 years. The cost to California will be more than those steam generators that failed at San Onofre.
I've included the movie link below.
Protest Against Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant: http://youtu.be/MPBtwfY cy-M It's ironic the only U. S. nuclear waste container inspected for salts and temperature on the West Coast happens to be a Holtec canister at Diablo Canyon. The 1/2" thick stainless steel canister was found to have all the conditions for stress corrosion cracking, yet the NRC is ignoring this information. Southern California Edison is also ignoring this information and announced yesterday they have selected the thin Holtec canisters to store tons of San Onofre nuclear waste.
The pro nuclear EPRI inspected the Diablo canister in January. They have delayed issuing a report on the Diablo findings. However, I was able to find presentations from EPRI, NRC and DOE and other information and put the pieces together and wrote a paper on this. I confirmed my information with materials engineer Dr.
Hira Ahluwalia who agrees with the findings that this Diablo canister has all the conditions for cracking. Mark Lombard, the NRC Director of the Spent Fuel Management Division, continues to give me evasive answers about this issue and continues to refuse to require adequate dry cask storage technology requirements because he knows the current U.S. vendors can't meet them. Only international thick cask vendors would meet those more stringent requirements.
Now Edison has decided to buy thin canisters made by Holtec, in spite of the Diablo canister evidence. Edison appointed David Victor Chair of the Edison Community Engagement Panel (CEP). Victor is also an EPRI Board Member. He wrote a paper for Edison in support of procuring these thin canisters in spite of the evidence. Edison is using that paper to help justify their decision. Gene Stone (CEP member) and I were asked to provide input to David Victor's paper. Our input was discounted and relegated to a section of the paper called Attachment A.
The NRC has not approved the updated Holtec UMAX system that Edison wants to buy, but NRC's Michelle Simpson said they may do that in February in spite ofthe Diablo evidence and in spite of the new requirement that this nuclear waste may stay at the plants for decades, if not longer.
This insanity needs to stop here. This is the recommendation that should have been in David Victor's report.
