It seems post 9/11 secrecy went a bit too far (I know, shocker). Tenn. Nuclear Fuel Problems Kept Secret. According to an NRC document released one of two private companies licensed by the NRC to manufacture, possess and store highly enriched uranium had 9 violations or test failures since 2005. In near serious accident at Nuclear Fuel Services "some 35 liters, or just over 9 gallons, of highly enriched uranium solution leaked from a transfer line into a protected glovebox and spilled onto the floor."
So Congress is complaining that the policy is bad and the NRC wants to release documents about the other company, BWX. Seems to be missing the bigger picture. KInda gives you that warm, glowy feeling doesn't it?
