If I can just say quickly on that point, Aby Mohseni, acting director for licensing and inspections at the NRC, made this remark: ``Some senior managers contributed to the manipulation of the budget process and information to apparently make sure that the Yucca Mountain project would be left unfunded even if the license application was still before the NRC. We were unprepared for the political pressures and manipulations of our scientific and licensing processes that would come with the appointment of Chairman Jaczko in 2009.''
