[NukeNet] Maker of fuel rod storage casks cited (NUHOMS cask system)

[The Roy Process]

Nukenet:
Satisfying an impossible law does not make burying high level
nuclear waste a safe practice. Nothing will contain the most toxic
elements which Dr. Roy said "When you have tons of it in one
lump, new generations of radioactive elements are created and
remains lethal for millions of years". Burying spent fuel rods
will not work! The government knows  how to spend tax payers
money on junk science! (Close enough for government work)
is the mantra, The only cost-effective way, is to photon transmute
high level nuclear waste that creates steam and then electric
power. This method destroys nuclear wastes forever.

Dennis F. Nester

Maker of fuel rod storage casks cited

LIMERICK -- The maker of the casks that will hold spent fuel from the
Limerick Nuclear Generating Station was cited last month for violating a
manufacturing procedure.

During June inspections at two manufacturing locations in Japan, Kobe
Steel Ltd. and Hitachi Zosen Mechanical Corp., inspectors for the Nuclear
Regulatory Agency found a violation -- the failure to adequately measure
the thickness of casks being manufactured there.

The casks in question are not those destined for Limerick, said NRC
spokesman Neil Sheehan. "They haven't even started working on the Limerick
casks yet," he said.
