NRC determined that a canister breach is not credible

not credible = impossible Our Requests

• Define the term not-credible

( not-credible is undefined in 10 CFR 50 or 72).

What is the specific risk for

• Loss of cooling to a Holtec MPC canister at SONGS.

• Risk of Flooding

• Risk of Corrosion

• Risk of Fuel cladding failures

• Risk of Excessive pressure

• Risk of Criticality

• Thermal Transients

• Terrorism

Risk Management Process is standardized

Standard Process Step 1: IDENTIFY THE RISK Step 2: MEASURE THE RISKS

Our request:

Provide Proof

How high is the risk?

How Risky?

• SONGS FAILED DUE TO RADIATION LEAK: NRC grants Edison massive Emergency Planning Exemptions

• BURIAL OF WASTE: Weeks before the canister burials began, NRC also granted On-site and Off-Site Insurance exemptions

• RADIATION INSURANCE NOT AVAILABLE: Not a single private insurer will offer civilian homeowners or renters protection against a nuclear disaster.
