Subj: The NRC lied to Senator Risch
Senator Risch:
On March 1, 2012, Buchanan of NRC wrote: The NRC has a long
history of, and commitment to, transparency, participation, and collaboration in
our regulatory activities.
I’ll concede that is likely that Buchanan’s letter
is sufficiently weasel-worded so that lawyers at NRC could prove that nobody
lied.
For years I have been trying to get details of NRC
sponsored work at Sandia in the area of spent fuel pool fires. NRC has stiff-armed my attempts. It turns out that even GE and NEI have been
stiff-armed; the following e-mail at NRC in the time frame of the shock of
Fukushima is
revealing:

What is our decision on sharing the BWR zirc fire data with GE and NEI.
They are classified as OUO documents.
In order to
keep this brief, I’ll go right to the bottom line. I want to know what is going on and what has
been going on and what will be going on.
There are or have been a lot of non-American participants who apparently
have full access to this activity. How
in the world did American taxpayers get stuck in a situation that requires that
the work be classified as OUO and that stiff-arms American taxpayers, while a
league of foreigners not only has access to the work, but may control
it?
Finally, I am an expert in these matters. On
Mayday, 2002, I sent PRM-50-76 to NRC, NRC denied it, and I am continuing to
work in the field. Fukushima on the Columbia would be no fun and the
Columbia Generating Station is not worth the risk.

I have not received any reply. I'll send further requests during early January 2014.
