as I understand it the licensee has no choice to not build unless they choose to shutdown,....
which comes back to the current paradigm where the regulators and their bosses in the current administration talk an okay nuclear game but don't walk the talk, they shut down Yucca so there is no final repository, they demand Fukushima and security upgrades which push the smaller margin sites into being untenable, and they reassure with talk about "future, safe, nuclear" but in the last eight years there is no new nuclear, and as illustrated before a couple of ways, once the market gets below a certain percentage, nuclear just drops off the radar screen,....
when nuclear loses it's economy of scale, it no longer makes sense as a commercial business venture,...
perhaps some viability if run as a public benefit corporation,...
but, there you go,... [coffee]

There are literally no legit reasons to......
1. Have Security as the largest department at a Nuclear Power Plant.....its INSANITY
2. Require already established Nuclear Power Plants to spend MILLIONS on beyond design basis upgrades (no matter where they are located) because Mother Nature decided to be a huge bitch 5 years ago and the Japanese decided it was better to blow up their reactor buildings than vent.

At the site I currently work at, security is 25% of the total work force. That is a lot. I had no idea it was that large.

BTW, your NUF cram notes were a perfect refresher for somebody who hasn't taken it in 10 years. Thanks for the effort!! I got a 94, and that was from just reading it once.
