On first glance it appears reasonable to define what “structures, systems and components” are “safety-related’ and ‘nonsafety-related”. However, coming from an alleged nuclear engineer-nuclear licensing contractor and consultant, one can guess that this is yet another poison US NRC gift for the New Year. They are full of it. Holtec is getting more dangerous safety exemptions – oh, yeah, what is safety? Preventing nuclear accident – duh!

Common sense tells us that the repercussions of a nuclear accident are so serious; so deadly and so long-lasting – some radionuclides will remain lethal for longer than humans have been on the face of the earth – that ALL structures, systems and components of nuclear reactors and other nuclear facilities are “safety-related”.

The comment deadline is apparently in 75 days. More related posts will probably be added between then and now, and this post may be updated. The post was done quickly…
