“I would like to offer a disclosure. Twenty years ago I served as a federal administrative judge sitting on a licensing board [that] approved the dry cask storage system here at Diablo Canyon. At that time the chloride stress induced corrosion cracking was not known to the licensee, PG&E, was not known to the Licensing Board, was not known to Holtec [the manufacturer], so this is an evolving entirely new development.” – Dr. Peter Lam, Member of the Diablo Canyon Independent Safety Committee

Dr. Lam's disclosure throws into serious question the validity of the design basis of all planned and existing nuclear waste storage systems in California and elsewhere.

Excerpt of the Oct. 19, 2017 meeting of the Diablo Canyon Independent Safety Committee.
