Beyond Nuclear submits emergency enforcement petition to NRC calling
for suspension of 21 GE BWR Mark 1 atomic reactor licenses
Beyond Nuclear has submitted a Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations
Part 2.206 (10CFR2.206) "emergency enforcement petition" to the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) urging the suspension of 21 General
Electric Boiling Water Reactor Mark 1s' operating licenses in the wake
of the catastrophic failure of identical containment systems at the
Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear power plant in Japan. In addition, Beyond
Nuclear has petitioned that a total of 24 GE BWR Mark 1 storage pools
for high-level radioactive waste in the U.S. be required to install
backup power supplies for running cooling water circulation systems in
the event of a loss of the primary electrical grid, something they now
lack, despite their location outside of a primary containment structure.
See Beyond Nuclear's 2.206 "emergency enforcement petition," as well as NRC's
announcement of its docketing. Also see Beyond Nuclear's media release on this
petition.
