NEI responds to bill that would postpone reactor relicensing bids
Legislation
unveiled by Reps. Edward Markey, D-Mass., and John Tierney, D-Mass.,
would delay license-renewal bids for nuclear plants until they are near
the retirement age and until more safety studies are conducted. The bill
would place an unnecessary burden for nuclear-plant operators, the
Nuclear Energy Institute said. "Operating nuclear power plants in the
U.S. are kept safe regardless of their age," said Tony Pietrangelo,
NEI's senior vice president and chief nuclear officer. Reutershttp://uk.reuters.com/article/2012/09/26/utilities-nuclear-idUKL1E8KQF2120120926
