    PROPOSED nuclear reactor sites at Braystones and Kirksanton have gone forward to the government - in the face of fierce opposition from both areas. Villagers have given the thumbs down at two public meetings. But dozens of 'Hands off Braystones, No to RWE' posters put up ahead of last Thursday's meeting in nearby Beckermet have since vanished mysteriously. Ward councillor Yvonne Clarkson, who personally opposes the RWE plans, said: "We don't know where the posters have gone but what came over loud and clear at the meeting was most local people don't want a nuclear reactor at Braystones. Sellafield is a different matter - it has support for a new power station. It's all about siting.

    As Constellation Energy seeks to expand its nuclear energy output by partnering with a French power company and building a new reactor just south of Anne Arundel County, statewide consumer groups are trying to draw a line in the sand. Members of Chesapeake Safe Energy Coalition, which includes Maryland PIRG, Chesapeake Climate Action Network, Nuclear Information and Resource Service and others, released a new report yesterday outside of the Public Service Commission headquarters, advocating for clean-energy alternatives.

    The renaissance of the nuclear power industry appears to be in a holding pattern. The two big problems: Lack of funding for the expensive construction of the reactors, and public skepticism about nuclear waste. EE News attended a two-day nuclear energy conference last week and reported that Ute Blohm-Hieber, head of nuclear energy and waste management at the European Commission, agreed that waste is the "Achilles' heel of the nuclear industry." What's interesting is that the news org didn't have any word from the conference of workable solutions to the problem.

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has accepted for formal review an application by Areva Enrichment Services LLC for a license to construct and operate a centrifuge uranium enrichment plant in Bonneville County, Idaho, and has made the application available on the agency's Web site for public review. Areva submitted the application Dec. 30. The NRC staff completed an initial acceptance review and determined that the application is sufficiently complete for the agency to begin its formal environmental and safety reviews. Acceptance of the application neither precludes future requests for additional information, nor indicates whether the Commission will issue a license. The agency anticipates the formal reviews and adjudicatory hearings will take approximately 30 months. In the coming weeks, a notice of opportunity to request a hearing before the NRC's Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, and a separate notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact statement, will be published in the Federal Register. The Areva application, minus certain classified and sensitive portions (e.g., proprietary information), is available on the NRC Web site at this page: http://www.nrc.gov/materials/fuel-cycle-fac/arevanc.html. The application has been assigned docket number 70-7015.

    "CONCERNED residents of one of the Eastern Cape's most pristine stretches of coastline are planning a court battle of David and Goliath proportions in a last-ditch effort to stave off parastatal Eskom's attempts to build a massive nuclear power reactor on their doorstep. Residents of popular Southern Cape resort towns Cape St Francis, St Francis Bay and Oyster Bay are furious over plans by Eskom to build a pressurised water reactor, the most common type of nuclear station globally, at Thyspunt, a vacant tract of land between the three coastal retreats. Some residents have even sold their properties and left the area amid fears the project will go ahead and reduce their property values."

    "Taxpayers would have to cough up another billion dollars to rehabilitate the mothballed Bataan nuclear power plant, according to a study commissioned by the government. The Marcos regime spent about $2.10 billion for the construction of the power plant, with successive governments setting aside P40 million a year for its maintenance even though the facility has yet to generate a single watt of electricity. Opposition from various environmental and cause-oriented groups led the Aquino administration to mothball the Philippines' lone nuclear facility in 1986. Froilan Tampinco, National Power Cor p. (Napocor) president, said that Korea Electric Power Corp. (Kepco) has submitted its study on how much it would cost to run the facility."

    "Its bid for a $2 billion federal loan guarantee is still pending, but the company trying to build a $3.5 billion uranium-enrichment plant in Piketon, Ohio, will get a promised infusion of $45 million from the Department of Energy. The promise to USEC was made in August when the Energy Department turned down the loan-guarantee application, with federal officials saying they didn't think the technology had been proven commercially viable. USEC says the loan guarantee is critical to its ability to build the plant, and the company won a temporary reprieve and the ability to reapply for the loan guarantee at a later date. That reapplication is expected to happen this year. In the meantime, the $45 million will help USEC keep working on the plant's technology, and the company says it will match the federal money with $45 million of its own. The federal cash comes from the Energy Department assuming $45 million worth of depleted uranium "tails" counted on USEC's books as a liability."

    "Egypt will build its first nuclear power plant in the Mediterranean coastal town of El-Dabaa, reviving the country's civilian nuclear power program after more than two decades, the El-Ahram newspaper said on Monday. Egyptian authorities announced in 2007 plans to build nuclear power facilities in the country to meet the increasing demand for electricity. The north African state's nuclear program was originally suspended after the Chernobyl disaster in the former Soviet Union in 1986. The paper quoted Egyptian energy minister Hassan Younes as saying the construction of the country's first nuclear power plant would take about 9 years. He said the decision to build the plant in El-Dabaa was based on a report by a team of international experts. The minister was quoted as saying the construction would cost from $1.5 to $2 billion. Russia, the U.S., China and the European Union support Egypt's peaceful nuclear program and have offered their assistance to the country's government."

On Wednesday, January 27, Radiation Free Lakeland gave evidence in Westminster before the Energy and Climate Change Parliamentary Select Committee. Our message to the committee: No site in Cumbria is 'suitable' for new build - especially not Sellafield. Any money available needs to be focussed on minimising the dangers that currently exist."

    "Expectations of a sharp rise in nuclear generating capacity over the next two decades are likely overblown, a Canadian think tank said on Thursday, disputing conventional wisdom that a nuclear renaissance is in full swing. In a report based on a 3-1/2 year study of the nuclear industry, the Waterloo, Ontario-based Center for International Governance Innovation said new reactor construction will be held back by a series of economic, security, and waste disposal issues. "Despite some powerful drivers, a revival of nuclear energy faces too many barriers compared to other means of generating electricity," Trevor Findlay, the report's author, said in a statement."

    Cement and ready-mix companies in the UAE are gearing up for a massive opportunity for supplying cement and concrete for nuclear power plants in the UAE. The UAE is expected to award contracts estimated to be worth $40 billion (Dh147bn) to build several nuclear reactors. According to a senior industry official, the contract for nuclear power plants would be a blessing for cement companies already struggling with falling demand and reduced profits.

    South Korea signed a US$20 billion deal with the United Arab Emirates to build four nuclear power plants in the oil-rich country, a deal expected to generate contracts for South Korean companies worth an additional $20 billion for decades to come, South Korea's presidential office said Sunday. The agreement marks South Korea's first nuclear power plant export deal. The biggest energy deal contracted ever either by South Korea or UAE was signed by a consortium led by South Korea's state-run Korea Electric Power Corp. and Emirates Nuclear Energy Corp. shortly after a summit between South Korean President Lee Myung-bak and his UAE counterpart Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan here.

    China will start building another "two or three" third-generation Westinghouse nuclear reactors by the end of next year once they have been approved by the government, the China Daily newspaper said on Tuesday. The newspaper, citing unnamed sources, said the AP1000 reactor projects would also be the first to be built in the country's interior provinces, with central China's Hubei, Hunan and Jiangxi likely candidates. All of China's existing reactors are located along the eastern coast. China signed an agreement with Westinghouse Electric in 2006 to build four AP1000 reactors in the coastal provinces of Shandong and Zhejiang.

    The leader of a group formed in Payette to fight a proposed nuclear plant there has questioned whether the company has the resources necessary to make the plant work. James Underwood, chairman of People for Payette's Future, called Alternative Energy Holdings "wandering opportunists" who keep filing applications for a plant they are unlikely to build. "We have serious doubts about AEHI's ability to follow-through with the application," Underwood said. "They don't have the money. Even their own accountants in their SEC filings gave them a restricted opinion, saying they may not be able to stay in business as a going concern."

    DAVID Cameron's green adviser last night threw more doubt on where the party stands over nuclear power after declaring no new stations would be built under a Tory government. Zac Goldsmith, the Tory candidate for Richmond, and one of Mr Cameron's closest advisers on the environment, insisted no new nuclear power stations would be built if the Tories were to win the next general election. He said Tory policy "was to give a green light to nuclear power as long as there is no call on the taxpayer, not just in terms of building, but maintenance, security and disposal of waste. In the history of nuclear power there has never been a station built without huge use of taxpayers' subsidy." It is the most outspoken a Tory has been about the next generation of nuclear power stations. Mr Cameron himself two years ago said the power source was a "last resort".
