Bob Shinter, an FFTF guy. can produce Gd 153 of which there is now a world shortage. all the while it produced U238 for space program. These scientists are still here. Lots of community support. Never give up. emotional appeal. big applause.
Marlene Oliver, takes HOAN people to task. asks DOE to follow the Federal Quality Act, sound science. DOE is required by Atomic Energy Act to supply isotopes. Lots of plants are going online around the world. The nuclear industry needs FFTF. National Lab people can come here. But also things can be done well remotely than ever before. Time is running out to reduce and elimnate the nuclear waste stream.
Jerry Strilson, a fast reactor tech guy currently retired, w/o GNEP we will no influence on the course of nuclear expansion worldwide. it will pass the US by.
Gerald Woodcock, , EW ANS. American Nuclear Society. GNEP makes sense. Also makes sense to use existing facilities. Will get it done quicker. Power can help eliminate world poverty. We must also destroy waste to reduce the threat of terrorism with it. Good economic sense. Saves both time and money. We can continue cleanup and do GNEP. They compliment each other. It's an enhancement to the cleanup effort, not a detraction from it.
