Watts Bar 2 Pre-license Inspection - NRC Meeting
April 9, 2014

We Question Safety of "New" Watts Bar 2 Reactor License Process 

and TVA Perspective on Stakeholders

BEST-MATRR and SACE raise questions about non-nuclear parts usage 

and NRC's inspection role. 

NRC's answer: "We are a sampling organization...

we have not inspected all the parts...

TVA's responsibility".  http://youtu.be/Xbb9KMBo990

TVA's slide on Watts Bar Stakeholders 

lists the NRC Commissioners as #1

followed by CASE - an NEI (Nuclear Energy Institute) group

followed by the NEI, the nuclear industry lobbyist.

TVA Customers are listed as #4.

Citizens ask question about TVA's listing.

We think that NRC, as the regulator, is not a Stakeholder

and that NEI, as the nuclear industry lobbyist,

should not be considered more of a Stakeholder than TVA customers,

who pay for the plants and live with the waste.

. This provides a rare insight 

into TVA's management philosophy

- nuclear industry first, customers last. 

TVA "spins" answer to question about their slide.
