    What Is Said About Nuclear Energy–and What It Means

    Posted 7 months ago
    by NEI NEI
    Storing Used Nuclear Fuel at WIPP From Konrad Szymanski , a European Parliament MP: “Commissioner [Gunther] Oettinger is responsible for energy policy across all 27 EU countries. It would be extremely disappointing if this became an exercise in forcing Germany’s position on nuclear energy down the throats of other countries.” I’ve never cared for that ...read more

    Crocs Live! --- With Help from FPL’s Turkey Point Nuclear Plant

    Posted 9 months ago
    by NEI NEI
    The AP has an interesting story making the rounds about Florida’s Turkey Point nuclear energy facility. At first, I thought to call this post something like Unintended Consequences, because what’s happening there could seem a consequence of the facility being where it is. But really, it’s more than that, because Turkey Point, which is run by FPL, has ...read more

    Comparing the Scale of Used Nuclear Fuel to Capturing Coal Emissions

    Posted over 5 years ago
    by Anonymous Anonymous
    The Wall Street Journal's Environmental Capital blog has an October 17, 2008 post titled Coal Storage: Clean Coal’s Next Big Hurdle? . It attempts to put the challenge of storing CO2 from coal fired power plants into the same bin as the challenge of storing used nuclear fuel. It gives a completely inaccurate picture of the differences between the real obstacles to future use of our two main electricity ...read more

    Uranium of the Sea – and How to Get It – and Why

    Posted 8 months ago
    by NEI NEI
    This is interesting, but it doesn’t seem quite enough: Japan developed an adsorbent that attaches the uranium-loving chemical group amidoxime to a plastic polymer. ORNL examined the binding process between the plastic and chemical groups and used that knowledge to enhance the uranium-grabbing characteristic of the amidoxime groups on the adsorbent material's ...read more

    Nuclear Energy and Those Who Are Reasonable

    Posted 9 months ago
    by NEI NEI
    It should come as no surprise that environmentalists oppose the use of nuclear energy in the same way they oppose coal or the fracking technology that is unlocking huge new reserves of natural gas. Currently nuclear energy provides about twenty percent of the electricity used in the U.S. Their attack on coal—led by the Obama administration—has driven ...read more

    The Traction of Small Reactors

    by NEI NEI
    The New York Times’ Matt Wald provides a nicely reported history and the state-of-play in the small reactor world. Just as the first domestic nuclear reactors were scaled up versions of small reactors, current versions of the tiny titans are scaled down versions of full-scale reactors (actually, some of them are – some are based on new ideas entirely ...read more
