Nuclear Suppliers Group Approved the U.S.-India Nuclear Deal
Dan Yurman has the story : It took the 45-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) nearly three days of protracted negotiations in Vienna to reach agreement. Austria, New Zealand, and Ireland, were the last three countries holding out on approval due to reservations about granting a waiver to India since it has not signed the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty. ... Austria, New Zealand and Ireland lifted their...

The Party (x 2) Is Over
Now that the Democrats and Republicans have wrapped up their party conventions, let's review, shall we? We heard from Senator McCain and Governor Palin a full endorsement of nuclear energy - it's in in the Republican mix without caveats - McCain even dinged Obama for not being a heartier supporter. (We spotlight the nuclear references in all the speeches a few posts down.) Senators Obama and...

Where Are We At with the US-India Nuclear Deal?
In what has seemed like forever since the agreement was first initiated (July 2005), today could be the day that the Indo-US civilian nuclear agreement lives or dies. It's up to the Nuclear Suppliers Group to give the thumbs up or thumbs down and Dan Yurman will be following it closely . Stop by his blog every couple of hours to find updates to the status of the deal. Read More...

The Safety of US Nuclear Plants Continues to Improve
From the NRC : “The latest round of assessments shows that 90 percent of the nation’s commercial nuclear power plants require only the basic level of attention by the agency. This is an improvement from a year ago, when only 72 percent of the plants required this lower level of oversight,” said Fred Brown, Director of the Division of Inspection and Regional Support in the NRC’s Office of Nuclear Reactor...

John McCain on Nuclear Energy
Here's John McCain on nuclear energy: My fellow Americans, when I'm president, we're going to embark on the most ambitious national project in decades. We are going to stop sending $700 billion a year to countries that don't like us very much. We will attack the problem on every front. We will produce more energy at home. We will drill new wells offshore, and we'll drill them now...

Ion Beams Used to Detect Counterfeit Wines
New nuclear technology keeps getting more and more interesting : Nuclear scientists in France have unveiled a 21st century tool for unmasking counterfeit vintage wines, by zapping them with ion beams from a particle accelerator . The beams, which are directed at the glass, not the wine, can distinguish how old the bottles are and where they might originate. "The chemical composition of glass used...

Sara Palin on Nuclear Energy
It's in the mix. From her speech last night: Starting in January, in a McCain-Palin administration, we're going to lay more pipelines ... build more nuclear plants ... create jobs with clean coal ... and move forward on solar, wind, geothermal and other alternative sources. And second only to pipeline-laying - and that makes sense given Palin's background. We'll take it. Picture...

Cry Havoc and Let Slip the Rains of Gustav
No sooner does Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana open a nuclear fabrication plant in Lake Charles, as noted below, than nature comes a-knocking. A busy man is Governor Jindal. But not only for the state is hurricane Gustav an issue - Entergy has also had its hands full, with almost 900,000 homes and businesses without electricity in the state. This tops the damage done by hurricane Rita in 2005 but...

Assume a Can-Opener
An economist, an engineer, and a physicist are marooned on a deserted island. One day they find a can of food washed up on the beach and contrive to open it. The engineer said: "let's hammer the can open between these rocks". The physicist said: "that's pretty crude. We can just use the force of gravity by dropping a rock on the can from that tall tree over there". The economist...

Obama Finds a Place at the Table for Nuclear Power
"As President, I will tap our natural gas reserves, invest in clean coal technology, and find ways to safely harness nuclear power. I'll help our auto companies re-tool, so that the fuel-efficient cars of the future are built right here in America. I'll make it easier for the American people to afford these new cars. And I'll invest $150 billion over the next decade in affordable,...

Nuclear Energy to Power the Future
Shannon Love over at Chicago Boyz sums it up nicely on why nuclear energy will power the future : ... We need to grow up and accept reality. We’ve exhausted the limits of chemical energy. Using biomass, solar and wind power represents a reversion to older and weaker sources of power. Instead, we need to follow the natural progression of technology and use nuclear energy. With our current and near-future...
