NRC and EPRI Collaborations, Filtered Vent

Below are a series of e-mail exchanges between this blogger, Leyse, and the NRC as Leyse has sought and gained access to some of the documentation of activites between the NRC and the Electric Power Research Institute.  

Leyse is after more facts on the  collaborations in venting of BWR and Ice Condenser Containments.  Also Leyse wants more facts on Spent Fuel Pool research.


Thank you, Brett

Mr. Leyse,

We are reviewing the addenda to ensure there is no information that should not be released to the public.  This may take a few weeks, as we have a handful of addenda with EPRI.  I will keep you informed of our progress.

The MOU with EPRI on cooperative research is owned by the NRC’s Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research (RES).  I will be your point of contact for this effort.

Regards,

Brett Rini

Sir: 

Unfortunately  my request to t he Commissioners was incomplete.
Brett Rini

In ML113120182 I read:

(3) Identify progress made and any obstacles to making progress in tasks identified in the
addenda to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between NRC and EPRI on
Cooperative Nuclear Safety Research (ADAMS Accession No. ML092290122).

I need the addenda.  Perhaps, in line with the spirit of the spirit of the Commissioners, you will promptly e-mail the addenda.

Please reply promptly.

Chairman and Commissioners:
Please release ML092290122. 
ML092290122 is listed as non-public in internal ADAMS.
The attachment to this e-mail, spent fuel pool.doc, illustrates at least part of my direct and immediate interest in ML092290122.
