Huffington Post: Nuclear Safety Debate Between Industry, Regulators Focuses On Radiation Filters

Posted: 16 May 2012 10:43 AM PDT

In a letter sent Tuesday to Gregory B. Jaczko, chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, representatives of the nuclear power industry argued that an enhanced safety feature designed to limit releases of radioactive gases into the environment during a severe accident was being hastily considered by the commission.

Nuclear safety advocates, however, argue that the industry is simply jockeying to avoid added costs as the commission begins to implement tougher safety guidelines for U.S. reactors in the aftermath of last year's meltdown at a Japanese power plant.

The safety feature in question -- a filter that would remove harmful radioactivity from gases being intentionally vented into the air during an emergency -- is being weighed as part of a host of new requirements for reactors in the United States. The new guidelines, formulated in response to the tsunami-driven nuclear meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facility in Japan last year, are aimed at shoring up a variety of safety measures at U.S. plants, including those of similar pedigree to the ones used at Fukushima.
