Blakeslee Tees Off on NRC By the end of last Thursday, State Senator Sam Blakeslee was fit to be tied. After subjecting Troy Pruett, a high ranking administrator with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), to an hour on the hot seat, Blakeslee couldn't get Pruett to concede that, where seismic safety of the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant was concerned, the NRC had put the cart dangerously before the horse. Blakeslee is a conservative Republican who happens to have a PhD in the geology of California's offshore earthquake faults. His district happens to include Diablo Canyon's twin towers. While Blakeslee took pains to say he's not saying the plant is unsafe per se, he did say the safety procedures were decidedly inadequate. He accused Pruett and the NRC of viewing the seismic safety issues surrounding the plant "through rose colored glasses." Even in light of Japan's recent nuclear catastrophe, Blakeslee charged, the NRC was operating "according to business as usual." Blakeslee focused most of his remarks on the critical scientific information that still remains unknown about the new fault line discovered 300 yards off the coast from Diablo Canyon in 2008. Blakeslee repeatedly challenged Pruett on how the NRC could plan to release a safety report on Diablo Canyon this June as part of the plant's relicensing application long before new seismic studies on the "Shoreline Fault" could be conducted. The high impact back and forth between Blakeslee and Pruett came during an informational hearing held by the Senate Energy, Utilities, and Communications Committee, chaired by Senator Alex Padilla. While Blakeslee became surly and, on occasion, sarcastic, Pruett quietly repeated that Diablo Canyon was operating safely and assured the committee members that the plant was engineered to absorb far greater ground acceleration than the longer known and better understood Hosgri Fault or the Shoreline Fault could unleash. And if new information came to light, he said, casting doubt that Diablo Canyon could be safely operated, the NRC would take "immediate action." Pruett stressed that Diablo Canyon was required by its permit to continuously update the NRC on new seismic information, and that such information should not be shoehorned into a relicensing permit application. In the past year alone, he said, the NRC dispatched two full time inspectors, who logged in 8,200 hours ensuring plant safety. Blakeslee countered that in light of Japan's nuclear nightmare, extraordinary measures should be taken to ensure the NRC had all the relevant information before decreeing the plant is sufficiently safe to be relicensed. In an interview afterward, he said the relicensing process enjoyed a quasi judicial status that would force the NRC to focus more rigorously on the question of seismic safety. The burden of proof, he contended, for submitting safety concerns outside of the relicensing process was "substantially more difficult." Even so, Blakeslee conceded, the NRC has never rejected or suspended the relicensing application of any nuclear operator. Blakeslee charged that the NRC, to a dangerous degree, relied upon the nuclear power plant operator for information regarding the safety of that plant. He faulted a report issued this January by geologists hired by PG owns Diablo Canyon stating that the seismic capacity of the new fault, 6.5, falls well below the 7.5 magnitude for which the plant was built. Blakeslee objected that, absent high tech 3 d seismic studies, which have yet to be conducted, it's impossible to know exactly where the new fault is located, how far down it goes, and whether it connects to other faults in the area, like the Hosgri Fault. If it did, he suggested, the magnitude of the quake Shoreline could generate could exceed PG predictions. And the NRC, he stated, lacks the geologic experts needed to conduct an independent analysis. "TEPCO made similar assertions about the offshore fault system," Blakeslee said about the owners of the now imperiled nuclear reactors at Fukushima. But in 2007, a TEPCO reactor was seriously damaged because of an earthquake registering twice what company geologists said could be expected from a fault line 18 kilometers away. The recent Japanese quake registered 9.0, even though, he said, experts had stated the offshore geology was capable of nothing more than a 7.9. Blakeslee has been pressing for the new seismic studies for the past six years; three years ago, the Legislature passed a bill calling for such studies. The California Energy Commission has likewise weighed in. Senator Barbara Boxer. PG has rejected calls for suspension but has asked the NRC to hold off making a final recommendation, pending results of the newest seismic studies. The operating licenses for Diablo Canyon don't expire for 13 years. It typically takes 22 30 months to process such an application. Where Blakelee was hot, committee chair Alex Padilla was cool in his questioning. Padilla focused on problems with the state's other nuclear power plant, also along the coast, at San Onofre. When Padilla pressed Pruett for specific concerns the NRC had with San Onofre, Pruett described them as "Tier 1 safety concerns," like not tightening down a bolt according to specifications. Padilla responded, noting that San Onofre employees had falsified certain records for five years, that the plant's backup diesel generators had failed, and that wiring problems may have rendered the plant's backup energy system inoperative for at least five years. "These are Tier 1?" he asked. Pruett answered that his remarks had been intended to apply only to the plant's performance in 2010. The argument that "Nuke power was developed for bombs" is ridiculous. Nuclear power is an extremely efficient method to produce energy. A baseball bat can be an extremely efficient tool to beat the snot out of somebody else, but it is understood that that is not its intended purpose. With that said, it extremely important to operate these reactors with the highest possible degree of safety, and I all for doing extra checks when new data requires us to. This is a good opportunity to make some changes (if necessary) to the existing reactors which have both aged considerably since they were first built. Falsified safety reports are NOT ok we ought to be holding the plant operators responsible for this neglect and demanding regular, thorough, safety checks. If the complexes aren up to an appropriate level of safety, tear them down or retrofit them so they are. There is no cost too high to protect us from catastrophic failure. At the end of the day, I sure that there are plenty of nuclear engineering grad students interested in implementing safer designs in place of these old plants which have survived for several decades without incident. This 5 member board comes from within the nuclear industry and has no one regulating their screw up The one thing we need to de commision right away is the NRC itself. This failed commission needs replacing by an independent board of people who live in the area where the nuclear power plant exists. needs a local review board. should not have the elitist power to decide what is safe for 36,900,000 Californians. We have no rights to protect our health and safety with the current dysfuntional system. Lois Capps and Congress need to change this broken system. Yes we need to let China and India take world leadership of this useful technology so that Americans can be reduced to slavish dependency, fighting over bench realignment and open container tickets as the Communist Party of China plans the next dozen Nuclear Power Plants, coal plants and wind turbine/solar panel industrial manufacturing facilities and hundreds of thousands of Chinese engineers graduate annually. Meanwhile American high schools have become defunct shooting galleries for crack dealer drive by and Johnny can read, write or add. But we need "empathy" because, see, Johnny parents are cross addicted to pot, Marlboro booze, pill popping Oxycotin and poor dears must have their coke/smack/speed too. And so we can borrow money from the Chinese. But by golly SLOMFP et al will do all they can to shut down nuclear power in the good ol USA after all we, can buy power from the People Republic of Nowheresville with whatever purchasing power the dollar may have left.
