Aging Radwaste Canisters - Unanswered Questions https://youtu.be/SjvJmE6ZKuM Excerpts from the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission's annual Division of Spent Fuel Management (DSFM) Regulatory Conference, REG CON 2014, held Nov. 19-20 in Rockville, MD suggest important issues that apply to all nuclear plants and both cost and safety issues.

A main issue that emerged from relentless questioning by SanOnofreSafety.org Founder Donna Gilmore and Diane D'Arrigo of NIRS.org is the lemming rush to move highly radioactive fuel assemblies out of overcrowded storage pools into dry casks without even considering the most robust cask design available on the international market.

At 7:25 Ms. Uhle says that the NRC "assumed Pretty Much that there was No risk for dry cask storage?!" How Screwed up it THAT?! HELLO!.. earthquake, poor construction, leaching, tipping over, bla bla bla.

ACE HOFFMAN vs NRC
These are very complicated issues with a time factor involved, I didn't see any graphics, fancy charts, showing how these drop over time. Not just the temperature or the radiological chance, dangers, but what about earthquakes, anything over a long period of time? So if we move it to dry casks it's going to stick around a long time. If we leave it in spent fuel pools because we're going to move it away soon it's a different calculation.
And Fukushima was mentioned. We're two and a half years away from it almost, and yet you guys don't know what to do about Fukushima. You said that you have people onsite in
Tokyo, and Tokyo's so far away from Fukushima that the Olympics are going to be held there. That's not really onsite. I think you're afraid to go onsite and I don't blame you.
So another point that was raised by a previous public member, Lou Zeller, was that U.S. Senator
Ed Markey just yesterday pointed out the irony to Chairwoman Macfarlane that she joined several people who are in the room today including Robert Alvarez and Ed Lyman, Gordon Thompson who is on the phone, in a January 14, 2003 study, peer reviewed study that actually saw a great cost/benefit advantage to expediting the transfer of irradiated nuclear fuel out of pools into dry cask storage.

We need to stop talking about incremental safety issues, but relook at the whole situation and what is safe for America's nuke waste. We haven't solved it in 65 years!
