Unsure about nuclear power? Here's the five questions ...
... you must answer to decide Twenty five years on from Chernobyl, the heated debate on nuclear power remains resistant to cold facts: simply too few are known. But making your own judgements on five key questions will lead to your answer Containing the elemental forces that rage inside a nuclear reactor is one of the great achievements of science, but losing control, as happened 25 years ago on Tuesday at Chernobyl, is one of its greatest failures. So what to think of nuclear power? People often ask me if I support or oppose the building of new nuclear power stations, presuming I ...

Say no to nuclear power: Nobel Laureates
Nobel Peace Laureates today asked all countries, including India and China, to invest in safer forms of renewable energy instead of nuclear energy in the backdrop of recent atomic disaster in Japan. "It is time to recognize that nuclear power is not a clean, safe or affordable source of energy," said the letter written by nine laureates including Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Adolfo Perez Esquivel and Jose Ramos Horta. The women laureates are Betty Williams, Mairead Maguire, Rigoberta Menchu Tum, Jody Williams, Shirin Ebadi and Wangari Maathai. Read more: indian express.com (Apr 21 2011)

The support to construction of Russian-Finnish NPP Hanhikivi-1 in Finland remains to be strong The support to construction of Russian-Finnish NPP Hanhikivi-1 in Finland remains to be strong. This was reported to ITAR-TASS by Mrs. Minna Forsstrem, the project director of Fennovoima engaged in the NPP construction jointly with Rosatom.«The support was always stably strong. In this context nothing changed when Rosatom joined the project. She emphasized very favorable public relation to the Russian partner. In her words currently 70 % of public in Puhajoki, the town where the NPP is to be constructed, support the project. “It is a difficult task to achieve better indicators” – she added.Both Finnish and Russian companies informed the public in Puhajoki that the future NPP is practically safe for local environment. «The biggest effect will be from the warm water. We will take the water from the sea for cooling purposes and then it will come back to the sea. This is, in fact, the only impact of the NPP to the environment. And light noise. All corresponding calculations are |
NSQ-100: ‘Plane’ sailing for nuclear supply chain? Précis: Airliner OEMs are reporting a quality control programme in the supply chain that has yielded significant savings. A new programme emerging from the nuclear sector aims to learn from this experience. “International organisations issue guidance to member states and licensees but it is guidance and not mandatory. That’s the same for aerospace and nuclear. However, in aerospace there is far more consistency and cooperation between regulators and regulations,” explains Greg Kaser,senior project manager at the World Nuclear Association (WNA).

UAE health & safety put to the test Précis: Contractors building nuclear power plants in the Middle East will be wise to keep construction worker health and safety at the top of the agenda to retain credibility. Construction worker health and safety will need to be a top priority for contractors pondering nuclear projects in the Middle East, sources have warned. “Overall there is a big gap between the standards employers want, and the implementation,” says Jean-Maxime Long, Middle East managing Director at Allen & York Recruitment, a recruitment consultancy specialising in energy projects.

Global factors adding to uprate slow down Précis: Power plant uprates seem likely to dwindle as data from the world’s largest nuclear market, the US, indicates fewer approvals in years to come. We look at the global factors and mass uprate programmes in recent years contributing to the uprate slow-down. But could things change direction? Global uprate activity looks set to fall given a sharp decline in forthcoming approvals in the USA, the world’s largest nuclear market. As of the end of March 2014, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) had approved 154 power uprates, representing 7,035MWe of new power. “Collectively, these uprates have added generating capacity equivalent to about seven new reactors,” says the NRC web site. There were also up rates pending review for eight reactors, totalling 827MWe. Image: Primary Event: |
