Jaczko perpetuates the Yucca Mountain Saga
NRC releases heavily redacted Yucca Review
The NRC has just released a heavily redacted version of the Yucca Mountain Review. This action has been justified using a maneuver within the Freedom of Information Act, the process by which the Heritage Foundation sought access to these documents.
What was redacted you ask?
Well, it was the scientific analysis and unbiased recommendation of the NRC staff. Something that the taxpayers and nuclear utilities have paid millions upon millions of dollars for but Chairman Jaczko seems hell-bent on preventing.
I refer to it as a ‘maneuver’ and I believe rightly so, as it plainly seeks to limit access to the report findings i.e. the unbiased scientific analysis and recommendation of the NRC staff without regard to politics or policy debate. And clearly Jaczko does not want anything positive about Yucca to see the light of day. In fact, he has repeatedly demonstrated his intent to do exactly the opposite. He has sought to stifle, postpone and disrupt the normal work of the great people at the NRC since he began his stint as Chairman.
