Live Blogging the GNEP Hearing

Public comments begin.

Court reporter taking the notes.
I'm at 58% power now. I may have to bum a connection a power strip.

Richard Black is the DOE rep. So he's the one to talk at if you need that sort of thing.

First speaker is Claude Oliver. brief history of FFTF medical isotope effort. then a stats tirade. the price of nuclear fuel is way up because there are lots of countries building plants and buying the fuel. nice applause.

Ken Dobbin, councilman from West Richland. WR city council supports GNEP. a laundry list of what is already hear to support ABR and the research facility. FFTF and the FMEF. could be a money saver. included a plug for medical isotopes. ask DOE to challenge opponents to come up with something better. big applause.

(found a nearby plug. whoo-hoo)

Bob Parks, closet racist and Kennewick city councilman. speaking for the council. read the resolution passed by the council in support. blah, blah. has a frog in his throat. also has trouble reading the big words. (of course I'm snarky. I lost an election to him)

Saul Gutenberg, retired FFTF worker.
