[External_Sender] San Onofre - SONGS Special Inspection - Damaged Canisters To: NRC - Regarding NRC Special Inspection webcast SONGS - March 25 Cask Loading Issues https://www.nrc.gov/docs/MLl 906/MLl 9066Al 03.pdf San Onofre - Damaged Canisters - Holtec Public alarm is growing as more and more flaws in the Holtec UMAX nuclear waste storage system at San Onofre come to light.
Surely on Monday - the NRC will assure the public that Edison will not be allowed to continue loading nuclear waste into the Holtec storage system that damages canisters in the downloading process.
https ://www.rue.gov/reactors/ operating/ ops-experience/ songs-spec-insp/fag. pdf The Holtec loading system lacks the precision downloading technology necessary to center the canisters to 1/2" accuracy through the guide ring.
Edison's improved worker training, procedures and management will not fix the problem of damaging canisters or damaged canisters.
This is a Holtec engineering design problem. It is a manufacturer's defect.
And it creates unacceptable potential short and long term risks for Southern California.
The NRC must stop any further loading of Holtec canisters at SONGS.
The Holtec UMAX system is defective and must be Recalled. http://bit.ly/SaveSanO Extremely concerning is that the NRC Inspection Report (3/18/2019) makes no mention of the Damaged Canisters safety issue. Why has the NRC not written up the damaged canisters problem as an unusual event? https://adamswebsearch2.nrc.gov/webSearch2/main.jsp? AccessionNumber=MLl 9071A349 The NRC must not make decisions that California will have to pay the financial burden to correct.
