You know he is downplaying it...it is huge. And it's a spreading cancer on the nukes.
Exelon's CEO Mayo Shattuck:
"Even the existing fleet is feeling a little bit of the pressure in this kind of environment,” he said. The U.S. has 104 commercial operating reactors."

I would get the Allegation department outside the NRC...make them a stand alone entity.

...I have spent an enormous of time talking to NRC officials and local NRC plant inspectors over the last year at VY, Palisades and Peach Bottom nuclear plant. I've submitted many 2.206s. A lot of NRC officials know my name and have spoken with me over the phone and in person.
If you really wanted to help me and the nation...you would help me reform the NRC's 2.206 petition process.
The below is in a condensed from...it designed to protect careers. It is in a nuclear industry technical lingo-speak that the NRC understands. They know these people are Root Cause Analysis professionals and have broad vision over many plants.
I am absolutely certain we have understated the problem. I am certain if this was investigated and mandatory testimony...we could prevent a lot of trouble.
Remember, I think they think doing a RCA gives factual ammunition to the NRC and in pending regulatory or court proceedings.

What we are talking about here in broad terms: it is the immune system of every nuclear plant in the nation and the nuclear industry.
...Of course, taking out the NRC Allegations section and the 2.206 petition process, that is call being in heaven.
I would want the NRC to be in partnership with me, not as a hyper rules based prosecutor or judge where I have no chance of ever getting past this corporate sponsored rules mandated to the NRC. I got to go up against this highly legalistic system even when it not really designed to be that way, where it is mostly laissez-faire and voluntary rules to a nuclear power plant. It is a check valve regulator!
They got a tons of laws and tools that limits my transparency to the problems of a plant and the agency; with very limited rules that mandates transparency to the public or me.
It is like a one way check valve on a host of issues, very little is spun my way in the interest of the USA (public), the vast majority are spun in the industry direction.
The overriding issue here is transparency and truth telling...the single most important determinate to nuclear and public safety is the nuclear industry showing their cards.
These guys got a lot of incentives to take shortcuts!
I won't bug you any more unless you ask for advice.
...Honest to god last time:
When I go through these NRC government processes...the 2.206 and Allegations...I feel it as the government is in a word, language, rules and process war with me. My government is at war against me and is using language as a weapon of war to me. It is not as a tool of understanding the issue or me. They become a understanding disruptor weapon.
A nuclear plant is so engineering, technically and organizationally complex...interacting with the NRC is 1000 times more complex.
I really need a seasoned senior NRC official who has seen everything and he has the horsepower to know the system and demand transparency. He needs to be assigned to me like my advocator and lawyer...his job is temporarily serve me and my issue ...to guide me through the agency's complex processes. All us outsiders need this kind of help.
I met and talked to a lot of NRC officials. Most of them are kind and decent when you get them by themselves. Most of them make us proud.

To who it may concern:
I can't believe I am doing this after having such a painful outcome talking to NRC Region 1 Allegation officials just a few days ago. I told myself I would never talk to Allegations again. If you want to talk to me I suggest it be outside Region I Allegations and preferably somebody from headquarters. I know there are lots more experienced people in the NRC than what I was recently exposed too.
I consider Region 1 Allegations compromised much like the March 2007 Peach Bottom sleeping guard incident where Allegations needed 500% absolute perfect inside evidence that was never obtainable in our existence. The NRC was too lazy to go down to Peach Bottom to investigate it on their own and they took the false assurances of Peach Bottom that there was no sleeping guards until the inside video came out that shook up the nation.
I consider the below a "cry for help" to me from multiple plant high nuclear employees and nuclear safety officials. And I certainly assert my confidentiality rights with this because this is so explosive to many careers. Nuclear Industry safety consultants might become blacklist from the nuclear industry. It exemplifies a pervasive of "I don't care" nuclear safety attitude throughout the nuclear industry. And these utilities are disrespectful to nuclear safety oversight in general.
I bet we are painting the most accurate leading indicator the NRC has seen in decades and we know the industry is in deep troubles as seen with all of your issues in recent years. These guys got a attitude problem and so doesn't the NRC!
I wish you would send a copy of this to the OIG?
...So is this about the reforming NRC Allegation process or RCA?
Just kidding, or not.
I kinda open here with my time. I could converse with you with within 24 hours, say tomorrow morning or beyond. I am good with before the end of the week, but I understand you people are busier than me.
What the hell does "specific information" mean?
...3:00pm on 4/10 is a excellent choice.
By the way, what are my needs that enables the exercises of my democratic Constitutional ideals or rights with the agency's rules.
1) Full access to the target site, documents and employees of a nuclear power plant or NRC.
2) My sufficient funding, skills and education to do my own independent investigation to give the agency its rule enabler.
"Specific information (e.g., which site/plant, organization, personnel) is necessary, for the NRC to respond to any issues, which are raised by concerned citizens."
...Really, I am a ant...you would need a sufficient independent "organization" with sufficient uncontested access, resources and intellectual horsepower, which could counteract or challenge the Republican ideological influences over of the agency and the influences of the cohesive nuclear industry and their owners.
It should neither be pro nuke or anti nuke...just hunting for the truth!
You would need a transformational organization...
