Live Blogging the GNEP Hearing

Continuing with Saul Gutenberg. Initial studies show some real cost savings. FFTF could really be useful to GNEP in a research role. also big applause.

Phil MacGinnis: France and Britain have an advantage that needs to be challenged. another FFTF booster. best DOE hot cell. Really doesn't like what Jimmy Carter did.

Natalie Troyer, Heart of America Northwest. doesn't want more waste at Hanford. doesn't understand the difference between power waste and defense waste. conspiracy theory - thinks there is more waste coming. scatter applause

Jerry Pollett, HOAN, blah blah. rhetorical stuff. doesn't understand the recycling process. no legitimate substance here. equates power waste to historical liquid defence waste. Doesn't like TRIDEC. thinks the old process with the new process. tries to use the vit plant overrun as a whipping stick. tries to say that more waste will be at Hanford. tries to say that more waste will lay around Hanford than ever before. a true believer with a distorted set of facts. big on hyperbole. but short on real science. way over time. crowd is unruly.
