I will put it very bluntly: We need to kill them before they kill us.” – S.

The Age of Nuclear Waste is just beginning.” – Gordon Edwards, Co-Founder, (...)
27 July 2019 SameFacts (US) Nuclear zombies SameFacts or Reality-Based Community by James Wimberley Posted on July 26, 2019 Categories Energy & The Environment Kevin Drum goes off the rails. (Uncharacteristically; here is his nice tribute to Mark .) “I’d like to point out just how easy a non-carbon form of capitalism would be—and not just to imagine, but to accomplish. Here it is: Over the next ten years, build about 5,000 standardized 5 TWh nuclear reactors worldwide and retire all fossil-fuel plants. Mandate a 20-year switch (...)
4 June 2019 [fr] PV-Magazine (Germany) IEA urges advanced economies to support nuclear as renewables cost continues to fall An International Energy Agency report estimates the share of nuclear power in advanced economies could fall by two-thirds by 2040, as aging plants retire. The report claims without support for nuclear, the transition to a low carbon energy system would be far more complex and threaten global emissions targets. PV-Magazine, MAY 30, 2019 By MARK HUTCHINS A report published this week by the International Energy Agency, Nuclear Power in a Clean Energy System, found the expansion of clean (...)
26 April 2019 PV-Magazine (Germany) “There is no such thing as a zero or near‑zero‑emission nuclear power plant” Stanford professor Mark Z Jacobson has said new nuclear plants may cost up to 7.4 times more than wind and solar facilities, with construction times longer by up to 15 years. Such a delay, he said, may see an huge amount of extra carbon emissions from fossil fuel power sources. His verdict comes as China this month set new guaranteed tariffs for nuclear power. PV Magazine, 18 April 2019 EMILIANO BELLINI Claiming nuclear power plants emit zero or near-zero CO² is a false assumption refuted (...)
15 March 2019 [fr] Capital (France) Nucléaire : Les centrales de poche vont‑elles sauver la filière ? Le réchauffement climatique redonne des arguments à la filière. Les pros de l’atome travaillent désormais sur des petits formats, plus faciles à maîtriser que les gros réacteurs. Capital, publié le 14/03/2019 à 16H06 Mis à jour le 15/03/2019 à 9H56 Eric Wattez L’« Akademik Lomonosov », du nom de l’éminent scientifique qui a fondé l’université de Moscou au XVIII^e siècle, n’est pas un navire comme les autres : il s’agit de la première centrale nucléaire flottante jamais mise en service.

15 March 2019 Japan Times (Japan) In aftermath of Fukushima triple meltdown, Japan’s nuclear industry faces fierce headwind This is the last in a five-part series examining how the northeast and the nation are progressing with efforts to deal with the March 2011 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis. Japan Times, 11 March 2019 BY SATOSHI SUGIYAMA Even after the Fukushima No. 1 crisis in March 2011 forced Japan to rethink its use of nuclear energy, the resource-scarce nation had hoped nuclear power would still serve it well.

15 March 2019 [de] Tagesschau.de (Germany) Zweifel am russischen „Exportboom“ Der russische Staatskonzern ROSATOM behauptet, große Teile des Welthandels mit Atomkraftwerken zu dominieren - und spricht von einem florierenden Markt.

9 February 2019 [de] Frankfurter Rundschau (Germany) Atomkraft in Japan—Ein langsamer Tod Japans Atombranche steckt seit Fukushima in der Krise. Auch im Ausland stocken die Projekte. Die Analyse. Frankfurter Rundschau, 5 February 2019 von Felix Lill Es ist noch nicht lange her, da gab sich Japan ziemlich siegessicher. Das Atom-Desaster von Fukushima sei ärgerlich und teuer, keineswegs aber das Ende aller Tage. Die für Japans Volkswirtschaft so wichtige, vermeintlich billige Energie aus den gut 50 Reaktoren im ganzen Land sei unverzichtbar. Und ohne das Know-how der (...)
18 January 2019 City AM (UK) Business groups worried over energy future as Hitachi pulls out of Welsh nuclear plant City AM, 18 January 2019 By August Graham Business groups were left exasperated yesterday as another core investor pulled its support from the UK nuclear sector, denting the government’s energy plans. Japanese giant Hitachi said it would suspend work on the £16bn Wylfa nuclear power plant which was intended to produce six per cent of the UK’s electricity. Protracted discussions with the government, and a “generous” offer to guarantee Hitachi would get £75 per megawatt, was not enough to save (...)
