GENERAL REMARKS: Interim Staff Guidance Documents 1/5 At Odds with Nuclear Modernization Act
- Industry Codes & Standards
- Guidance Documents
- Overregulation 8/14/2023
GENERAL REMARKS: Interim Staff Guidance Documents 2/5 At Odds with Nuclear Modernization Act
- Industry Codes & Standards
- Expertise lies in these documents, not Staff.
- Staff endorsement claim effectively preempts straightforward use of Code/Standards.
Code of Federal Regulations does not grant staff such sweeping powers.
Modernization Act Clearly Re-enforces Expertise of Codes/Standards 8/14/2023
GENERAL REMARKS: Interim Staff Guidance Documents 3/5 At Odds with Nuclear Modernization Act
- Guidance Documents
- Vast Armada referenced.
- No obvious linkage to risk significance (applicability).
- Extensive de facto requirements and details, Effectively enables staff to hold applicant hostage:
bring me another rock endless drills.
Modernization Act Clearly Re-enforces Preeminence of Codes/Standards over guidance documents 8/14/2023
GENERAL REMARKS: Interim Staff Guidance Documents 4/5 8/14/2023 At Odds with Nuclear Modernization Act
- Overregulation
- Net impact of short-circuiting Codes/Standards and vast armada of guidance:
OVER-REGULATION on a STUNNING SCALE Modernization Act not Intended by Congress To Sink Advanced Reactor Development.
Yet, Likely Outcome on Current Staff Course.
GENERAL REMARKS: Interim Staff Guidance Documents 5/5 Passing Remark Main ISG uses simple tables to summarizes applicability of existing 10CFR 50/52 This should have formed the backbone of the proposed 10CFR53 NOT the painfully complicated current version.
Alter course, Do not bureaucratically strangle Advanced Reactors -
Vital for U.S. Energy Independence.
