and that's going to be done on a case-by-case basis by the nrc. i don't know the circumstances at seabrook, although at one time i knew it pretty well. but i don't know it any more. but those questions in concrete is a big deal. >> thank you. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you. dr. deutch, you've been terrific witness, and it's good to have your experience and your straightforwardness here. i think i'm speaking for all of us. we thank you and your committee for your time and work and secretary moniz for impanelling you. if you have additional comments that you'd like for us to consider, why, we'd welcome your sending those to us after you leave. i think it's time now to go to the second panel. so, we'll excuse you and ask dr. mckinzie and dr. icenhour, who i introduced earlier, to come forward. dr. icenhour is the associate director of nuclear science at oak ridge national laboratory. and dr. mckinzie, senior scientist at national resources defense council. dr. icenhour, we'll start with you, if we may, and i'll ask each of you to summarize you

that's going to be on a case-by-case basis with the nrc. one time i do pretty well but i don't know anymore. most sections, concrete is a big deal. >> thank you mister chairman. >> thank you doctor duetsch, you've been terrific and it's good to have your experience and your straightforwardness here. i think i'm speaking for all of us, we thank you and your committee for your time and work and secretary, if you have any additional comments you like for us to consider while we welcome you sending those to us after you leave. the time now goes to the second panel so we will excuse you and ask doctor mckenzie and doctor icenhour who i've introduced early to come forward. doctor icenhour is laboratory director of nuclear science and energy director at oakhurst national laboratory. doctor mckenzie, nuclear program director and senior scientist at national resources defense council. doctor icenhour we will start with you if we may and i'll ask each of you to summarize your remarks in about five minutes if you will which will give us time to consid

we will always have the oversight of the nrc prospect. my final point has to do with international linkage. for a long time the counter proliferation policy of the united states and we had been a world leader has been based on the influence we have through our knowledge and our activities in nuclear power technology. the plants that are going to be built around the world are not going to be in europe were the united states, they're mainly going to be in china, india, russia, and several countries in asia which this will be their first plant, the emirates, turkey, jordan, we will want to make sure the proliferation and safety and resistance of those plans is maintained. we have a national security interests. in taking our international activities, especially in safety. in the future of nuclear power. i like to make a concluding remark. the task force was completely unanimous in this report. a wide range of people with different experiences. unanimous. especially unanimous on the point that if the united states does not undertake an initiat

it's going to require more time and more resources for the nrc to do that job. we believe and in our report we discuss -- we had two ex chairs of the nuclear regulatory commission on our task force, a staged approach to licensing of advanced reactors that we believe deserves attention. some developers may choose to construct and license new advanced reactors in other countries, for example, china. i remind those developers and everyone here that the first time one of those plants come back into the united states they will have to go through the whole entire nrc process again. so we will always have the oversight of the nrc prospect. my final point, mr. chairman, has to do with international linkages. for a long, long time a counter proliferation policy of the united states where we have been a world leader has been based on the influence we have through our knowledge and our activities in nuclear power technology. as you know, the plants which are going to be built around the world are not going to be in europe, they're not going to be in the united states, they

residents say their concerns are validated by the nrc down grading the plant safety rating last year. they call for an immediate shutdown. we'll hear first from the nrc and then the protesters. >> if we have something that can be potentially classified as an immediate safety concern elevated. however, right now we do not have any immediate safety concerns. >> we are are watching you. we read your reports. you need to do your job and revoke the operating license now. reporter: inspectors are scheduled to be on site for the next three weeks or between now and the second week of january. pilgrim nuclear is scheduled to seize operations in >> and let's take 4:10. and you can see the sun has set down and it is down by the bruins building. they are heading from boston and going into newton. the traffic is right in the middle of the screen and everything seems to be moving okay there. let's drive around and see what we are looking at. down to the split it will take half an hour. minutes. right around the pike area it is a little slow. slow into wellesley where the tolls were at 495. we'll ta

so we will always have the oversight of the nrc prospect. my final point, mr. chairman, has to do with international linkages. for a long, long time a counter proliferation policy of the united states where we have been a world leader has been based on the influence we have through our knowledge and our activities in nuclear power technology. as you know, the plants which are going to be built around the world are not going to be in europe, they're not going to be in the united states, they're mainly going to be in china, in india, in russia, in several countries in asia which this will be their first plant. the emirates, turkey, jordan. we all want to make sure that the proliferation resistance of those plants is maintained. we have a national security interest in maintaining our international activities, especially in safety in the future of nuclear power. i want to make a concluding remark. the task force completely unanimous in this report. we had a wide range of people with different experience and backgrounds. unanimous. especially unanimous on the point

our conference stepped up in record numbers at the nrc see and have the resources to achieve the success we have achieved. thank you very much. it is an honor to be with you. >> we are going to take a few questions now. >> what about working with donald trump? are you going to be working with him, or working for him? or do you think it is your role to be a check? >> i think he has a mandate to do what he campaigned on, to repeal and replace obamacare, to with constitutional scholars on the supreme court. i like what he said about rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure. i think it will be a partnership. we all understand our role. >> i would weigh in that a lot of time went into creating this document of ideas. this is a has produced document. it is one that speaker ryan spent time going point by it was knowing paul, powerpoint by powerpoint. we look forward to working with him on that. >> constitutionally, you don't see your role as a check on his power? >> look, he has just been elected. we share common visions and principles and goals. we will work together. >> i want to follow up. th

one type of small modular reactor, may soon submit a license application to the nrc. so with many nuclear closures and few nuclear bills the future of nuclear energy is one now on decline. today's hearing considers what are called advances nuclear reactors and have a good impact the future of nuclear power, and government support for the research and development. to summarize my written testimony in a few words would be, be very cautious on advanced nuclear. first, see what results we get with our current government investment in new nuclear projects, thehen you still smr. and the portly prioritizing unfinished business for nuclear. the waste issue on others. for decades nuclear scientists and engineers have sought to develop advanced nuclear design that reduced the amount of waste generated, that lower nuclear weapons proliferation risk and that improve safety. but such benefits from advanced nuclear are still theoretical your and importantly there is no evidence advanced nuclear would be economically competitive in the future. in our testimony energy respect for off

to an advanced reactor the nrc must develop a way to do that, licensing carefully requiring more time, more resources to do the job event in a report we discuss the chairs of the regulatory commission on the task force staged approach, licensing advanced reactors, hedging some developers may choose to construct and licensed new advanced reactors in other countries for example china. i remind those developers it was here, the first time one of those plants come back to the united states they have to go through the entire nrc process always have the oversight. final point, mister chairman has to do with international law. for a long time counter proliferation policy of the united states when we were a world leader is based on the influence we had through our knowledge and our activities in nuclear power technology. the plants built around the world won't be in europe or the united states which they will be in china, india, russia, several countries in asia, their first plant, turkey, jordan. we want to make sure the proliferation and safety of plants is maintained which we have a nation

i think the nrc of taking on this job is starting to settle in on donald trump and they are scrambling bit on his team to figure out how exactly you take the reins of government and run the country. david: after hillary clinton , protests broke out in new york, other cities around the country. donald trump awaited on twitter responding to those, changed his attitude toward those protests in a series of tweets. how big of a deal is this movement, what are they trying to get here? people are trying to express some frustration and rage about the outcome of the election. one thing donald trump needs to learn, i think, is that one of his greatest powers is the power of the bully pulpit. he could come out right now and address the country on both of these protests and these episodes of the racism we have seen around the country in the wake of his election. i think that may go a long ways toward doing what he says he wants to do, which is unify the nation. david: there was another tweet this morning where he said, busy day, soon making very important decisions on the people running the govern
