[External_Sender] Fw: Press Release-lV-19-007: NRC Proposes $116, 000 Civil Penalty to Southern California Edison
Dear Patricia Wen and Todd Wallack,
You can see by reading this press release by the NRC's Vicktor Dricks the NRC does not want the public to understand this is an engineering problem that is causing the gouging of the Holtec thin canisters. This same system could be coming to"your Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5mhd-4y5Hk In this linked video above the whistle blower states very clearly it is an engineering problem that needs to be resolved. However, Southern California Edison (SCE), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and Holtec International are trying to blame the issue on staff training alone. This simply is not the case because the system lacks a precision downloading system to get the 54 ton canisters loaded without gouging them on the guide ring inside the vault. Other thin cask providers (example Areva) have precision loading systems to address this issue, but the NRC still approved the Holtec system without a precision loading system. This is the same system Holtec and the NRC is trying to get approved for the interim Nuclear Waste storage site in New Mexico. If they are successful in changing the law the canisters will be further damaged taking them out of the vaults and then again if they get to New Mexico in the downloading process. This is a gigantic blunder on the part of the NRC as each canister holds more cesium than was released during the Chernobyl meltdown.
Scientist at UCSD have provided papers with sourced documents on how SCE and the NRC is ignoring serious issues with these Holtec canisters and the loading system.

Thank you, Jeff Steinmetz

Re: Press Release-lV-19-007: NRC Proposes $116,000 Civil Penalty to Southern California Edison What's significant is this press release doesn't mention the gouging of all the canisters, even though that is part of this issue.
