What do you think the NRC does all year, sit around & eat bon bons! They are constantly watching & checking & calling for upgrades as necessary!
Watched some of C-Span last nite where Boxer wants all nuke plants built before 1980 shut down & inspected. Good luck, shut them all down, that will leave maybe ONE online to provide power. She also was freaking out about the ones in Calif. cause they are built on "faults"! What does she want them to do, MOVE THEM?
How about we just shut down all the nuke plants in Calif for good, maybe that would make her happy!!! Amazing how ill informed the people on that congressional panel are & honestly, they just don't understand an answer when it is given to them.
If they're like most government agencies, a good bit of their time is spent surfing porn.
