Nuclear Regulatory Commissioner to Tour Indian Point

The Commissioner will meet with Riverkeeper representatives on the same day.

This Tuesday, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission notified Entergy that Comissioner William D. Magwood, IV, one of the five members of the presidentially appointed Commission that oversees the NRC, will tour on May 29.

The Commissioner's Legal Counsel wrote in the notice to Entergy:

The purpose of the Commissioner’s visit is to obtain a general familiarity with the facility. The Commissioner will not engage in any substantive discussion during the site visit about any of the issues that have been raised in the ongoing adjudicatory proceeding for the renewal of the operating license for Indian Point.

On the same date, Commissioner Magwood will also meet with representatives of Riverkeeper. This meeting will focus on issues of general concern to Riverkeeper and will not include any substantive discussion of contested issues.

The Commission to which Magwood belongs will have the ultimate NRC say on Entergy's license renewal application.

Bad idea NRC, bad idea Magwood your giving credibility to the riverkeeper, a self appointed group supported by people who disregard science, snicker and laugh at people with different opinions at meetings, will say anything to sway a undecided person, and if all else fails file frivolous lawsuits. For them its about political power not the river. Please reconsider.
Having said that Mr. Magwood I to am in favor ,to a degree, of shutting the reactors down. They draw too much water to fast to protect the fish, but only if the fuel source is changed to natural gas 1 reactor at a time and the plant stays.

Will the Commissioner [also] bring The United Nations with him when he arrives for the "inspection" or is he coming alone? ( jOKE!) LOL!
What exactly is the Role of This "Appointed Commissioner" [By The Way]! The Nucear Facilities needs to be manned by the Office of The Joints Chief Of Staff of The Armed Forces of The United States of America! Just follow-up from The Dessert Strom to the Vaction of Iraq! What did the "appointments did" actually; With regards to "US Sensitive Matters" The Army must do and Maintain It's Own Intellegence with the FBI [ a legal structure relationship] needs to be put in place for Our National Interests and It's Safeguard. Trust is disappearing with Private Sector MUSROOMING accross the Country as "Defence Contrators"! It's imparative to figure out what exactly are "these contrators doing"! Very important factor in Our National Health and Daily Life! I am Habib Hasan and this is my expert opinion. HABIBHASAN-An American Storyteller

By the way, in our new system we have an update that includes a community moderation tool—it'sRead More not only Patch editors who can flag comments. What is it? Readers can flag any content they find objectionable on any Patch site at any time. We’ve put the flagging link in more places to make it easier to find and backed it with more sophisticated tools. Our goal is to recognize and reward readers who make our community great. How does it work?

I'm wondering if a comment made by Veton Sejdiu was deleted because it implies a threat againstRead More people. In his comment, he calls people "morons" and "fools" (nothing new here), but in a threatening way, he dares people to try to take guns away.

don't know why I'm having a problem getting this written............anyway...they are rude,Read More unhygenic and WILL NOT follow any of the condo rules....there's so much more but we are sick of it. There are only two of us that speak up...everyone else is cowering behind closed doors.

Unleashed dogs is getting to be a big problem in Peekskill. I see them routinely now. People areRead More letting their pit bulls out, their poodles, their chihuahuas - all kinds of dogs. Two days a go I watched a lady jogging on the track with her loose dog. The dog wasn't even supposed to be on the track no less loose. Some kid or elderly lady is going to get bit. Loose dogs also end up in more fights with other dogs.

Sue a sad fact that these days of “political correctness” individuals who exhibit rudeRead More and ignorant behavior are empowered by the rest of us. I know of a similar situation where the individuals will yell four letter words in the public areas with young children there, call others the foulest things, and in this case, they are black and gay so the race/gay card is used constantly. Until people make it known they are not going to tolerate their behavior it will not stop. Have you notified the property owner, complex board, and police, or maybe the board of health?

It seems Patch moves editors every year. Liz was here when I signed up. Then she was shortly movedRead More to Rye and Rasheed took over. He must have been here about a year and then he left when the new format was introduced. Both times patch started cooking and then it got cut down just as new staff got their mojo going. A new editor with a new format seems like starting from scratch again. I know AOL/Patch needs to get some cash flow going quick (from what I've read) but I can't see what they are trying to do exactly by tipping the cart over and over

Agree Joshua just when you have a good thing going with an Editor they move. I can't figure thisRead More site out I was not allowed to post for at least a week thought Mary et al put an hex on me. Hey anyone know where Peter Goodson is??? I miss his posts.
jo June 18, 2013 at 10:12 am

Working Families Party endorsed candidate Mary Foster
Robin Seggs June 14, 2013 at 10:44 am
Working Families Party almost always cross endorses with Democrats. Looks like the choice isRead More getting clearer: One team is Democrat, WFP and Independent and the Catalina Team is Republican, Right-to-life, Conservative. Anyway, I believe Catalina is campaigning as anti-gay rights, so I know how I will be voting.
jo June 14, 2013 at 02:28 pm
and so many in the cast of characters that attend the meetings. believe Mary is a republican atRead More heart.. and here the Left of all left dem groups endorses here..mmmmmmmm just thinking out loud..
