43. NUCLEAR POWER Nuclear Power. Nuclear power plants use the amazing power of the atom to generate electricity with a very low fuel cost and much less pollution than fossil fuel plants. http://library.thinkquest.org/2763/Electricity/Generating/Nuclear.html

Nuclear Power Nuclear power plants use the amazing power of the atom to generate electricity with a very low fuel cost and much less pollution than fossil fuel plants. However, the planning, building, and operating of a nuclear power plant is a long, costly, and very complex process. When the idea for nuclear power plants first came out, the Atomic Energy Commision (AEC) claimed that it would be a cheap way of generating electricity. Compared with fossil fuel power plants, nuclear power plants use very little fuel, so the cost is small, but it is made up for in other areas. The AEC was wrong. In fact, today, nuclear power plants cost just as much to build and run as coal plants do. Constructing After an order is received to start working on a nuclear power plant, the long multi-year process begins. The most important part of a plant is the nuclear reactor. That is where the nuclear reactions take place. During these reactions radiation is released. To make sure that none of this radiation is released into the environment, the building that houses the reactor must be made to hold it in. The reactor is housed in a dome-shaped building made with extremely thick walls of concrete and steel. The building must be strong enough to stand even if a jet plane crashed into it!! The engine house is the building where the control and computer rooms are located. In the control room, engineers constantly keep watch over the entire power plant. If something were to go wrong, an alarm would sound and by the simple push of a button the problem would be automatically fixed. In the computer room, many computers are constantly recording information on every little thing that happens in the power plant. The construction of the buildings, the reactor, and the complex electrical network needed to run the power plant could take years. Then electricity can be generated.

Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Located in Lusby, Md., Calvert Cliffs Unit 1 began generating electricity in 1975 and Unit 2 joined the system in 1977. Since then, Calvert Cliffs has continually set records for power production and worker safety. In March 2000, Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant opened a new chapter in nuclear power history by becoming the first plant in the United States to earn 20-year extensions of its operating licenses from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant replaced the steam generators in Units 1 and 2 respectively and with Unit 2 set world records in duration and weld quality for this type of replacement. These replacements, as well as other major upgrades, will help the plant continue to safely generate clean electricity for many years to come. Key Facts Location: Lusby, MD Fuel Type: Nuclear Reactor: Pressurized light water reactors Capacity: 1,750 MWe Online: Operating License: Ownership: Constellation Energy and EDF Turbine Manufacturer: Environment Since the plant has been in operation, the environment at and around the plant has been rigorously monitored and the monitoring results reported to the Maryland Department of the Environment and the EPA to ensure that we continue to preserve the quality of the air and water.

47. Nuclear Issues Paper This EIA presentation summarizes the key environmental issues impacting on the nuclear market. Although nuclear power does not contribute significantly to global warming, there http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/nuclear/page/nuclearenvissues.html

Home Nuclear Nuclear Issues Paper Nuclear Issues Paper Nuclear Power and the Environment Overview Nuclear power has been presented as providing net environmental benefits.  Specifically, nuclear power makes no contribution to global warming through the emission of carbon dioxide.  Nuclear power also produces no notable sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, or particulates.  When nuclear power is produced, nothing is burned in a conventional sense.  Heat is produced through nuclear fission, not oxidation. Nuclear power does produce spent fuels of roughly the same mass and volume as the fuel that the reactor takes in.  These spent fuels are kept within the reactor’s fuel assemblies, thus unlike fossil fuels, which emit stack gasses to the ambient environment, solid wastes at nuclear power plants are contained throughout the generation process. No particulates or ash are emitted. Some fossil fuel-based emission can be limited or managed through pollution control equipment or procedures that generally increase the cost of building or managing the power plant either to the plant owner or to the public.  Similarly, nuclear plant operators and managers must spend money to control the radioactive wastes from their plants until the wastes are disposed in an appropriate manner.  An environmental component of any decision between building a nuclear or a fossil fuel plant is the cost of such controls and how they might change the costs of building and operating the power plant.  Controversial decisions must also be made regarding what controls are appropriate.

49. Nuclear Power And Sustainable Development Paper to Uranium Institute 1997 Annual Symposium, by JeanMarie Bourdaire and John Paffenbarger on nuclear power and sustainable development. http://www.world-nuclear.org/sym/1997/bourd.htm

Nuclear Power and Sustainable Development Jean-Marie Bourdaire Sustainability is a term coined in recent years to mean the goal of practices, methods and technology which provide growth but do not degrade the environment in the long term. Although this sense has been first and foremost, the definition has expanded over time as the debate about sustainability has taken shape. It encompasses the idea that present activities must not destroy sensitive natural resources, leave problems or debts for the future, that they must be economically sound, and, depending on the observer, a host of other ideals. The European Commission, for example, considers that the use of adequate labour inputs is an element of sustainable development ( Ref 1 ). Reducing human or social stress can also be part of the concept. It is fair to say that many of the strongest supporters of sustainability view the use of fossil fuels as unsustainable. They cite pollution and finite fossil fuel resources as, by definition, being unsustainable. The alternatives most often proposed are renewable sources of energy, which, almost tautologically, are sustainable. Various forms of solar energy seem ideal: solar photovoltaic electricity, solar thermal energy and wind power figure high on the renewables list. Improved energy efficiency, biomass and household waste streams are part of many environmentalists view of a sustainable energy future.

53. Nuclear Power: Exploding The Myths Nuclear Power Exploding the Myths. reprinted from. Encompass Magazine March 2001. by Gordon Edwards http://www.ccnr.org/encompass.html

Nuclear Power: Exploding the Myths reprinted from Encompass Magazine March 2001 by Gordon Edwards Nuclear power was once portrayed as peaceful, clean, safe, cheap and abundant. It was even described as miraculous. Disney's animated documentary film "Our Friend the Atom" promised that nuclear power could end world hunger, eliminate poverty, and bring about an unprecedented era of peace and prosperity. For decades, the Canadian Nuclear Association distributed a public-relations comic book which concluded with these words: "NEW BOON TO MANKIND "The benefits of nuclear radiation that we know today are nothing when compared to what we may reasonably expect in the future. "Food may be preserved in its original fresh condition for long periods of time. Nuclear-powered ships may ply the oceans; trains may cross continents many times on only a few ounces of nuclear fuel; power reactors may help open up remote areas such as Canada's North.... "In time it is possible that nuclear power may lead to temperature-controlled, germ-free cities, and a better life for all mankind." Today the rhetoric is more muted, but nuclear power is still touted as a saviour of sorts: it will save us from global warming, help us eliminate nuclear weapons, meet the world's burgeoning energy needs. And Ottawa's nuclear decisions remain as inscrutable and unaccountable as ever.

Additionally, Mothers for Peace concerns itself with issues of peace, social justice and a safe environment. Advocating for the Democratic Process and Nuclear Security: Oral Argument set for November 4 Mothers for Peace is on the home stretch of the protracted litigation in our second challenge of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) before the Ninth Circuit Court. We seek your financial support in our advocacy for the democratic process and nuclear security. The Court has scheduled the oral argument for November 4, 2010. It will take place in San Francisco at 2pm in courtroom 1, 95 7th Street. Like the 2006 ruling in favor of Mothers for Peace, the outcome of our case involving the dry cask storage facility at Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant has the potential to affect policy for all 104 nuclear facilities in the nation. If Mothers for Peace is successful, the case will set a major new precedent for government accountability with respect to security-related decision-making in the post- 9/11era.

Home Nuclear U.S. Analytical Studies Nuclear Power Nuclear Power Nuclear Power: 12 percent of America’s Generating Capacity, 20 percent of the Electricity Charts on plant ownership, costs, license extensions, and future trends. Opinions vary regarding the future of nuclear power, but it is a fact that existing U.S. plants are performing well. Nuclear power plants now operate at a 90 percent capacity factor, compared to 56 percent in 1980. Additionally and in contrast to oil and gas, nuclear fuel costs are low and relatively stable. Fuel costs now average less than one half cent per kilowatthour. This is well below the costs of major competing fossil fuels. Production costs for nuclear power, operation and maintenance plus fuel costs, are also low, averaging 1.8 cents per kilowatt-hour. This cost roughly matches coal and is significantly below the costs of operating a natural gas plant. Despite all of this relatively attractive news regarding nuclear power, there has been no new order for a nuclear power plant since the 1970s. The last nuclear plant to be completed went on line in 1996. A few, perhaps four, construction licenses are still valid or are being renewed for half-completed reactors, but there are no active plans to finish these reactors.

58. Progress & Nuclear Power: The Destruction Of The Continent And Its Peoples The truth and the history behind the Three Mile Island accident at Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania from an anarchist perspective Fredy Perlman. http://www.eco-action.org/dt/progress.html

The Destruction of the Continent and Its Peoples By Fredy Perlman The Following text first appeared in a special anti-nuclear issue of Fifth Estate magazine on April 8, 1979. It was written earlier in that year just after an accident at Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in eastern Pennsylvania. As news of the accident spread, official messages insisted, "There is no need to overreact, the situation is stable, the leaders have everything under control," but eventually people living near the plant had to be evacuated. Here Fredy reminds us how the original inhabitants of this region were duped and destroyed by the platitudes, promises and police that always accompany Capital. The premeditated poisoning of human beings, of soils and of other living species can only by the grossest hypocrisy be considered an "accident". Only the wilfully blind can claim that this consequence of Technical Progress was "unforeseen". The poisoning and removal of this continent's living inhabitants for the sake of "higher entities" may have begun in Eastern Pennsylvania, but not during the past few weeks. Eleven score years ago, in the region currently being poisoned by radiation from Three Mile Island, speculators with names like Franklin, Morris, Washington and Hale hid their names behind facades such as the Vandalia Company and the Ohio Company. These companies had one purpose: to sell land for a profit. The individuals behind the companies had one aim: to remove all obstacles which stood in the way of the free deployment of profit-making, whether the obstacles were human beings or millennial cultures or forests or animals or even streams and mountains. Their aim was to Civilise this continent, to introduce to it a cycle of activities never before practised here: Working, Saving, Investing, Selling - the cycle of reproducing and enlarging Capital.

The United States, Russia, Britain, France and China reaffirmed their "unequivocal commitment" to the ultimate goal of scrapping their stockpiles of weapons. But their statement, issued at a UN conference on nuclear non-proliferation, gave no timetable and was derided as a platitude by environmentalists. A lame attempt to excuse the inexcusable: the failure of the nuclear-weapons states to take meaningful action on disarmament Greenpeace The statement also expressed deep concern over the nuclear tests carried out by both India and Pakistan in May 1998. The five countries said that none of their missiles was targeted at any other state - something they have announced individually in the past.
