Rod Bundle Heat Transfer at Penn State

Our great NRC Commissioners flit all over the globe while they conveniently overlook where all of our dough goes.

Here is a set of documents that were generated by Penn State at our expense and the clerks of NRC staff prefer that the public remains unaware of this. I've gone after the Chairman NRC who sent my request to the PDR. The PDR went after NRR who responded that the docs were under review and they had no idea when the review would be completed.

So, I went after the docs via FOIA and have been told that for about $800 in fees payable right now, the NRC would work on getting the docs. Well, I appealed that and was turned down, but I now have 30 days to appeal that denial. So the delays continue.

Of course, I am infuriated. I told the Chairman (way back on October 8, 2009) "You must have your staff immediately release the documents that I have requested. Place these in NRC's public document system with accessibility via ADAMS and do it now." Well, I'm still waiting for him to do it now. He was at INPO a few days ago, November 5, 2009, and told that fine body as part of 1800 words, "So if there are two things I ask of you on the topic of new reactors, it is to give us high quality and complete applications, and have faith in the process we have established to review them."

Maybe I should suggest to the Chairman that he send INPO the following set of docs so they can assist their funding members in producing high quality output. However, NRR will likely never get around to using these reports and that will be OK with the lobbyists.
