| 00:02:23 |
|
THANKS, JOHN AND THANK ALL OF YOU FOR COMING HERE TODAY TO DISCUSS THIS ISSUE. I THINK IT IS AN IMPORTANT... |
| 00:06:50 |
|
BELIEVE ME, WE CAN'T GO ON AND ON ABOUT MR. SPURTS ABILITY TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE TODAY. CLEARLY, YOU... |
| 00:07:18 |
|
GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY. IT'S A REAL HONOR TO BE HERE IN FRONT OF ALL OF DEAL AND AT THE FOUNDATION... |
| 00:16:33 |
|
SO WE DON'T -- IT'S AUCOIN TO TAKE MUCH WONDER GIVEN THE 30 PLUS YEARS THAT THIS PROGRAM TO KNOW WHETHER... |
| 00:18:34 |
|
PLUS, THE FACT THAT IF YOU DECIDE TO LEAVE IT THERE, THE QUESTION IS, HOW LONG? SO WITH THE 14 YEARS,... |
| 00:29:39 |
|
WE HAVE A FEW MINUTES FOR A FEW QUESTIONS OF Q & A AND THEN I THINK HE MIGHT BE AVAILABLE FOR A SECOND... |
| 00:30:17 |
|
OKAY. LET ME TRY AND ANSWER THIS WAY, WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF FINALIZING UPDATED POP COST ESTIMATES,... |
| 00:33:05 |
|
QUESTIONS. YES? |
| 00:33:11 |
|
CAN YOU TALK ABOUT OTHER COUNTRIES THAT USE REPOSITORY, GEOLOGICAL REPOSITORY STORAGE AND LESSONS... |
| 00:33:22 |
|
THE QUESTION IS, JUST TALK ABOUT BRIEFLY WITH OTHER COUNTRIES ARE DOING REGARDING HIGH LEVEL GEOLOGICAL... |
| 00:34:32 |
|
LET'S GET ONE MORE QUESTION. PLEASE WAIT FOR THE MICROPHONE BEFORE ASKING YOUR QUESTION. |
| 00:34:37 |
|
AND PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND AFFILIATION. |
| 00:34:41 |
|
GEORGE McDONALD WITH THE CENTER FOR ENVIRONMENTAL COMMERCE AND ENERGY. ISN'T YUCCA MOUNTAIN THE BEST... |
| 00:34:53 |
|
I PERSONALLY BELIEVE SO. I MEAN, IF YOU'VE EVER GONE OUT TO THE SITE AND SEE WHERE IT IS, YOU WALK... |
| 00:35:18 |
|
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IF YOU WILL JOIN ME WITH A ROUND OF APPLAUSE. [APPLAUSE] ALL RIGHT, MOVING RIGHT... |
| 00:38:21 |
|
I BELIEVE A WAS A SET OF GRAPHICS PASSED AROUND. I'M GOING TO TRY TO TALK TO THOSE, SO EVERYBODY'S... |
| 00:50:44 |
|
GREAT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MARK. STEVE? |
| 00:50:47 |
|
THANKS, JACK. THANKS TO THE FOUNDATION FOR HOLDING THIS PANEL AND INVITING US TO PARTICIPATE, PARDON... |
| 00:58:53 |
|
THE NICE THING ABOUT THE WHEN LAST IS I CAN A CRUM MY REMARKS FAIRLY BRIEF BECAUSE SEVERAL OF MY PLANTS... |
| 01:09:43 |
|
THANK YOU, ANNIE, AND LET'S GET OUR PANEL A ROUND OF APPLAUSE ON THIS. [APPLAUSE] WE HAVE LOTS OF... |
| 01:10:23 |
|
I'M JAMES WITH THE SENATOR SESSION'S OFFICE. JUST A QUICK QUESTION FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD FROM EVERYONE... |
| 01:11:18 |
|
SO, WHY WE CAN'T GO TO SET UP PUREX OR IS PRIMARILY, IT IS NON-PROLIFERATION. THAT'S THE BIGGEST, THE... |
| 01:11:58 |
|
I AGREE WITH WHAT MARK SAID BUT LET ME ADD A COUPLE OF THOUGHTS. IF YOU'RE IT DEPENDS UPON WHAT YOUR... |
| 01:14:18 |
|
AND I WOULD LIKE TO ADD A LITTLE BIT TO THAT FROM A POLICY PERSPECTIVE THIS IS A PRETTY EXCITING TIME... |
| 01:15:25 |
|
ONE OTHER THING I THINK THAT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE WHEN I ANSWERED I WAS SPEAKING STRICTLY OF THE REPROCESSING... |
| 01:15:57 |
|
THAT REALLY IS KIND OF PUTS THE CODE ON WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THE REASON THEY ARE DOING IN FRANCE... |
| 01:16:36 |
|
YES? |
| 01:16:43 |
|
YES, PLEASE? |
| 01:16:45 |
|
MY NAME IS BILL, RETIRED. I HAVE A VERY SIMPLE POINT I THINK THE GREATEST OBSTACLE TO THE DEVELOPMENT... |
| 01:17:27 |
|
BILL, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS RIGHT TO A CERTAIN EXTENT AND I'VE WORKED FOR THE COMPANY AND SERVED WITH... |
| 01:18:47 |
|
LET ME ADD ONE THING TO THAT ALSO. I THINK YOU HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THAT FOR 30 YEARS THE WAS NO ONE... |
| 01:19:27 |
|
THE OTHER THING I HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE THAT STEVE MENTIONED WITH THIS GENERATION. MY KIDS... |
| 01:21:01 |
|
THE ANSWER IS, YES, THAT HAVE. |
| 01:21:03 |
|
HOW ARE THOSE GOING? |
| 01:21:04 |
|
MAY ARE PROPRIETARY AND WON'T TELL US. |
| 01:21:09 |
|
YOU TALKED ABOUT WHEN RECYCLING THE NEED FOR A BUSINESS CASE, ONE OF THE MAIN FACTORS IN MAKING THAT... |
| 01:21:24 |
|
I THINK IT'S GOING TO PRIMARILY BE A TIPPING POINT. THE URANIUM WILL BE A BIG DRIVER AND IS RARELY... |
| 01:21:42 |
|
LET ME ADD A COUPLE OTHER THOUGHTS TO THAT SECOND QUESTION. CLEARLY WITH THE SPENT FUEL REGIME WE... |
| 01:23:13 |
|
LET ME ADD TO THAT. FROM ONE OF MR. SPROAT PREDECESSORS, THEY WERE TO SPEND $22 BILLION ON CANISTERS,... |
| 01:24:10 |
|
JUST TO PICK UP ON BOTH POINTS, 1982 IT WAS SAID ONE LOCAL WHAT BROWER. MANY PEOPLE ON ALL THIS FROM... |
| 01:26:11 |
|
JUST IN THIS POINT, THAT'S THE WAY I THINK. THE CLOSER TO ALL THE COSTS ARE ALREADY IN TO THE SYSTEM... |
| 01:26:52 |
|
CAN I SAY ONE MORE THING? THOSE ARE ALL GREAT IDEAS. WE NEED TO START HAVE THIS DIALOGUE THOUGH. ... |
| 01:27:16 |
|
I HESITATE TO SAY THIS BECAUSE I AM SITTING IN A HERITAGE FOUNDATION BUT U.S. ABOUT LEGISLATION. ... |
| 01:28:25 |
|
AS WE PAY FOR $5 A GALLON OF GAS I WILL THINK ABOUT THAT BUT THAT IS FOR DIRECT PANEL AND A DIFFERENT... |
| 01:28:45 |
|
I'M WITH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW THERE ARE TWO DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES... |
| 01:29:34 |
|
LET ME ASK YOUR QUESTION FIRST. KEEP IT ON SITE UNTIL WON? |
| 01:29:44 |
|
THAT'S WHY I ASKED. MR. PETERS, WHETHER OR NOT THAT WOULD FALL IN LINE AT THE TIME TO DETECT THE DEVELOPED... |
| 01:29:58 |
|
I THINK THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION WITH THE NATION WANTS AND WHAT THOUGHT IT HAD IN 1982 WITH A SOLUTION... |
| 01:31:11 |
|
LET ME AND, FROM A GENERATIONAL EQUITY STANDPOINT THAT IS THE WORST OF BOTH WORLDS BECAUSE RIGHT NOW... |
| 01:31:38 |
|
NOW WE'RE GOING TO ON SITE, IT DOESN'T GET TO PASS THE PROBLEM WE FACE THAT NUCLEAR ENERGY MOVING... |
| 01:32:26 |
|
BRINGING UP PROCESS ONLINE IS DECADES. DOES GOING TO TAKE TIME. WE'VE GOT TO MAINTAIN FLEXIBILITY.... |
| 01:33:00 |
|
THE TIMEFRAME NEEDED WOULD FALL IN LINE WITH A TIME FRAME ABOVE-GROUND STORAGE. YOU CAN KEEP THE WASTE... |
| 01:33:17 |
|
FROM A TECHNICAL PERSPECTIVE, YES. |
| 01:33:19 |
|
TO PICK UP WHAT ARE SAID, IT IS EXTREMELY POOR PUBLIC POLICY AND I THINK MARK SAID IT WAS, HE SAID... |
| 01:33:32 |
|
NO, I SENATE TO MAKE ONE MORE QUESTION. |
| 01:33:44 |
|
I AM FROM BEYOND NUCLEAR. USE MR. SPENCER MENTIONED A BROADENING THE DISCUSSION OF BED AND MARKET... |
| 01:34:24 |
|
IF THE 25 BILLION YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS THE LOAN GUARANTEES. |
| 01:34:29 |
|
THAT'S, CORRECT. |
| 01:34:30 |
|
I WOULDN'T TALK ABOUT THAT THE WAY YOU DID BUT IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT GUARANTEES EVEN ON THAT HAS... |
| 01:34:44 |
|
RIGHT. |
| 01:34:46 |
|
WERE PROBABLY NOT A BIG FENCE OF THINGS LIKE UNLIMITED LOAN GUARANTEES FOR NUCLEAR. BUT WE RECOGNIZE... |
| 01:35:58 |
|
SLIGHTLY CONFUSING AND SOMEWHAT CONVOLUTED. I THINK ANDER SALI YOUR SINE. |
| 01:36:03 |
|
ISAAK THAT CONFUSING. |
| 01:36:06 |
|
LIKE WIND AND SOLAR WHO HAVE GONE -- |
| 01:36:09 |
|
WE ARE AGAINST THINGS FOR SOLAR. |
| 01:36:11 |
|
BUT AS COMPARED TO WIN A CLEAR HAS SINCE 1945. |
| 01:36:17 |
|
IT HAS COMPARED TO A NUCLEAR ELECTRICITY. |
| 01:36:19 |
|
THEY ALL STARTED TO FROM ZERO. SO ONE WAS FUNDED BY THE OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BECAUSE I'M NOT... |
| 01:36:29 |
|
YOU HAVE A QUESTION ON YUCCA MOUNTAIN? |
| 01:36:35 |
|
THE QUESTION THAT I HAVE ON YUCCA MOUNTAIN IS I DON'T NECESSARILY THINK YOU CAN TAKE IT IN ITS PARTS.... |
| 01:37:09 |
|
JUST TO SAY THOUGH, I DON'T DISAGREE WITH THE NEED FOR HOLISTIC USE OF ANYTHING. BUT ONE LAWYER TO... |
| 01:37:33 |
|
FROM A TECHNICAL PERSPECTIVE WE DO SO THAT IN THE LABORATORIES. MY ESTIMATION IT YOU NEED NUCLEAR.... |
| 01:37:50 |
|
AT THE END OF THE DAY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER NOT WE BUILD ANY NEW PLANTS AND EVEN IF WE SHUT DOWN ALL... |
| 01:38:15 |
|
THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING. [APPLAUSE] |
