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 ...
International Atomic Energy Agency Briefing on Fukushima ...
... Nuclear Accident On Monday, 18 April 2011, the IAEA provided the following information on the current status of nuclear safety in Japan: 1. Current Situation Overall, the situation at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant remains very serious but there are early signs of recovery in some functions, such as electrical power and instrumentation. On 17th April, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) announced that TEPCO had issued a "Roadmap towards Restoration from the Accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station". The roadmap outlines 63 measures to be ...
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)

HEU removal from Kazakh reactor International cooperation has seen 36 kg of high-enriched uranium removed from a scientific institute in Kazakhstan and returned to Russia. The material had been used to fuel the WWR-K research reactor at the Institute of Nuclear Physics (INP) at Alatau, near Almaty. The unit is a tank-type, light water moderated and cooled multipurpose research reactor with a nominal power of 6 MWt.Two air shipments were used in the removal operation, which was the result of cooperation between Kazakhstan, Russia, the USA and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The work was announced by the US National Nuclear Security Administration on 7 January.It comes after a similar operation in late September last year which removed 10.2 kg of the same kind of material, which could potentially be used to manufacture nuclear weapons.A further 50 kg of high-enriched uranium remains in Kazakhstan and the same team will cooperate to remove this "over the next several years" said the NNSA, "thereby e |
A Northwest Passage to Nuclear Energy Interesting doings in Washington state: The bills by Republican Sen. Sharon Brown go to a public hearing before the Senate Environment, Energy & Telecommunications Committee on Tuesday. Four committee members also belong to a House-Senate task force studying whether nuclear power should be expanded in Washington. Not only are there four members of the committee but three bills under consideration. One of Brown's bills calls for providing a sales tax exemption for small modular reactors that some Tri-Cities interests hope to eventually build and ship elsewhere. Another of Brown's bills would add nuclear power to the list of alternative power sources that certain utilities are required to use to meet state targets for having "green" energy sources as part of their electrical-generation mix. Brown's third bill would create a nuclear energy education program that would include classroom sessions and science teachers' workshops on teaching nuclear science to ei |
The dome for the containment of Russia's Rostov-4 nuclear unit was lifted into place and installed on 12 January The dome weighs about 200 tonnes and is 37 metres in diameter. The reactor pressure vessel for the VVER-1000/V320 unit is expected to arrive on site later this year, with first criticality scheduled for 2017, Rosatom said.World Nuclear News |
Saligny on track for licence in 2016 Précis: Saligny is due to open for business from 2020, ahead of the possible decommissioning of Cernavoda’s first reactor by around 2026. The initial investment will allow for the creation of eight far-underground, concrete-covered storage modules at the facility. Romanian decommissioning plans look set to scale up a notch or two as the country prepares to licence a new waste disposal site in 2016. The Saligny site, 169 km east of Bucharest, will initially cost around €40m, according to the country’s National Agency for Radioactive Waste (Agenţia Nucleară şi pentru Deşeuri Radioactive or ANDR in Romanian).
