Arnie Gundersen's Nov. 7, 2013 reports back on the Oct. 31, 2013 Nuclear Regulatory Commission Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (NRC ASLB) hearings on Detroit Edison's "Fermi 3 Licensing Project".  In sworn testimony in Monroe, Michigan, the NRC admitted that it has stripped whistleblower protection from the licensing of new nuclear power plants.  

By flip-flopping on what it means to be an applicant, the whistleblowers who are truly looking to protect the public health and safety are having their lives and livelihoods jeopardized. Fairewinds Chief Engineer Arnie Gundersen discusses what this means as utilities look for short cuts and cheaper ways to build new nukes.
