I see a lot of posts here about “scams”, “lawsuits”, etc. Please let me reply:
The nuclear industry hasn’t been sitting on its hands for the past 30 years. They’ve worked with the NRC to institute an alternate approval process.
Both the nuclear industry and the NRC saw that the old approval process was ripe for abuses - one that allowed anyone with an agenda to slow the project to a halt. Neither the industry or the regulator benefited from these delays.
The new process still allows challenges to a new license. But such challenges have their specific time in the schedule. Those times have passed for Vogtle-3 and4 .
All of the site and design challenges happened prior to Obama’s influence.
This is it. They WILL be built, and they WILL operate.
You seem to be in the know, so I’d like to pick your brain,.....
If memory serves there were two reactors that had started winding through the process in S/SE Texas. I seem to recall at least one of the utilities involved getting cold feet. I believe NRG was one of the companies involved.
Are you aware of the status of these reactors are they dead, ongoing, or in limbo?
Thanks for the time.
I hear Savannah is getting the port dredged for larger vessels for international trade.
Combine this with a lower cost and consistant energy source with these plants and I can see Georgia as a manufacturing and shipping dynamo in the American Economy in the next 5 to 10 years.
I see Catapillar is looking for a new Manufacturing Facility...
Georgia Baby, Georgia is the answer..
And sooner or later they WILL have an accident that NOBODY will know how to handle.
Please, just don't build one near me, any of my loved ones, or any food source that I might want to use in the next few decades
