加州总检察长联署反对核管会放松核安全监管:行政效率不能凌驾公共安全

加州总检察长 Rob Bonta 11月10日宣布,他已加入两个多州联名意见,反对美国核管理委员会(NRC)削减对放射性副产品材料以及传统与先进反应堆建造、运行与退役监管的拟议规则修改。
Bonta 办公室说,这批规则修改是核管会对核安全规范「全面修订」的一部分,包括大幅扩大可免于许可的放射性副产品材料范围、减少地震规划要求等。意见指出,在核安全规则上,行政效率不应凌驾于公共与环境安全之上,相关修改引发多重警讯,并涉嫌违反《国家环境政策法》《行政程序法》与核管会保障核设施安全运行的使命。
Bonta 表示,核能放宽监管风险很高,加州清楚老旧反应堆的脆弱性,包括2013年关闭的 San Onofre 核电站;核管会应主动排查隐患、提供强有力的独立保护,尤其在全国预期扩建核电之际。背景方面,特朗普政府正依据第14300号行政令改写核能保护规则、扩大核电规模,核管会10月5日继续推进这轮修订。

California Attorney General Joins Coalition Opposing NRC Rollbacks of Nuclear Safety Oversight
California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced on November 10 that he joined two multistate comment letters opposing U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) rulemakings that would reduce regulatory oversight of radioactive byproduct materials and of the construction, operation, and decommissioning of traditional and advanced reactors.
Bonta's office said the rulemakings are part of the NRC's wholesale revision of nuclear safety rules and include significantly expanding exemptions for radioactive byproduct materials and reducing earthquake planning requirements. The letters argue that administrative efficiency should not supersede public and environmental safety, raise multiple red flags, and contend the changes would violate the National Environmental Policy Act, the Administrative Procedure Act, and the NRC's mission.
Bonta said deregulation is risky where nuclear energy is concerned, noting California's awareness of vulnerabilities at aging reactors including the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, shut down in 2013, and urged the NRC to proactively address vulnerabilities, especially amid an anticipated nationwide nuclear buildout. The Trump Administration has been rewriting nuclear protections under Executive Order 14300, and the NRC continued its revision on October 5.
