However, recently I've read that the NRC will allow NU to select the INDEPENDENT reviewer of MP3 and that the l NRC was even considering allowing NU to use some of their own staff. Internal

Please listen when I say that the only independent entities that should be considered for this task should be selected from academia bolstered with some of the most active whistleblowers in Connecticut. Money, power, and greed has driven Northeast Utilities out of control and only the level of oversight that I suggest can, in my view, restore nuclear safety ethics at NU and regain the public trust. I implore you to pursue the independent review of l MP3, using a truly objective and honest approach, selected by the NRC Commission.
