GE doesn't see this as a small price to pay to ensure public safety as do the French, but rather as a major annual component of return to the nuclear utilities if the spent fuel problem is kicked down the road. <br /><br />Jimmy Carter's anti-proliferation based 1979 de-funding of the US reprocessing plan is the cause of the 30 year build up of spent fuel pools in the US and indirectly the cause of GE-designed SFP accumulations in Fukushima and other locations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-35624901119422254812011-04-28T17:13:18.883-07:002011-04-28T17:13:18.883-07:0023 U.S. reactors that are similar in design to the...23 U.S. reactors that are similar in design to the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan where backup generators were swept away <br />Jct: Relax.

What would happen? They must be built with that possibility in mind -- aren't they? But what if incentives like those identified in your earlier posts, drawing comparisons to financial market regulations, are operating?Bill Bergmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17066440544129368326noreply@blogger.com
