Submitted November 17, 2009
Docketed November 23, 2009

Many delays characterise the NRC review of this. 

Here is a delay that was described by NRC over a year ago in an internal e-mail dated March 23, 2011.

Go to page 371 of 899, and the fastest way to get there is via a word search on PRM.  The e-mail discloses that "... all qualified NRR/DSS staff who would be qualified to serve on the working group for PRM-50-93/95 are otherwise occupied ... recent events in Japan."

Letter Borchardt of NRC to Idaho Senator Risch

Here it is:

http://pbadupws.nrc.gov/docs/ML1205/ML12059A117.pdf

Obama decreed that his feds run an open government, and in this letter, EDO Borchardt declares that this is the case at NRC.  Borchardt tells Risch that Leyse need not ask Risch to collect information.

Borchardt declared (lines 7 and 8, second paragraph), "Mr. Leyse can fuly participate in the NRC's activities through direct contact with the agency, as he has in recent years."

Of course, Borchardt's letter is loaded with false assertions regarding the NRC's  long history of openness.  A great example is this blog's entry of 5/26/12, At last, NUREG/CR-6980.

ML060520260 and unrelated MELCOR Junk

http://pbadupws.nrc.gov/docs/ML0605/ML060520260.pdf

Important stuff.  96, 97, 27, 28, 90, 354, 125, 124,   (all of 372) ...

Unrelated junk expressions that I've heard:

MELCOR as a feeder ....

MELCOR drives training ...

The facts reveal that MELCOR is bunk.
