U.K. should build additional nuclear plants, expert says
U.K. should build additional nuclear plants, expert says
The U.K. should construct more nuclear plants to secure energy independence and meet its goal of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions by 80% by 2050, said David King, director of the University of Oxford's Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment. "On existing sites we could place 27 new nuclear power stations by 2050, meaning that no other sites would be needed," King said. Fox Business/Dow Jones Newswires

- Senators are worried about pace of new nuclear-safety procedures
New safety recommendations for U.S. nuclear plants in the aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi incident in Japan are critical, but they are occurring at a sluggish pace, members of Senate Environment and Public Works Committee said. Senators want the recommendations to be implemented within five years. "Some of the proposed time lines allow plants to avoid meeting safety improvements for longer than five years," said Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., chairwoman of the committee. The Epoch Times

FAS In-Depth: March 19, 2012 Note: This is a new weekly newsletter which will be sent to FAS members, analyzing a current security threat and FAS work on this issue. If you have any ideas for upcoming content, please contact Katie Colten, Membership Coordinator, at kcolten@fas.org. Last week, Hans M. Kristensen, director of the Nuclear Information Project, and Dr. Robert S. Norris, senior fellow for Nuclear Policy, published the new installment of the Nuclear Notebook in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists regarding Russia's nuclear forces. With the ratification of New START in January 2011, Russia promised to be more transparent to allow the international community to monitor its nuclear arsenal. Unfortunately, this has become difficult as the Kremlin does not release full aggregate treaty numbers of the country's nuclear forces. Despite these obstacles, Kristensen and Norris estimate that Russia has 4,400 nuclear warheads in its arsenal. Additionally, Kristensen and Norris write that Russia is planning to retire more than two-thirds of its current arsenal of nuclear land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles by early 2020. This arsenal includes some of the most iconic examples of the Soviet threat against the United States: SS-18 Satan, SS-19 Stiletto, and the world’s first road-mobile ICBM, the SS-25. During the same period, Russia plans to deploy significant numbers of new missiles, but the production will not be sufficient to offset the retirement of old missiles. As a result, the size of Russia’s ICBM force is likely to decline over the next decade – with or without a new nuclear arms control treaty.

This webcast will cover:With the recent vote by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to give license approval for the nation's first two new nuclear power plants in 30 years, the U.S. nuclear industry took a major step toward returning to expansion after a long period of stability and safe operations. However, in the wake of the March 2011 incident at Japan's Fukushima plant, safety and quality assurance continues to be a paramount issue in the nuclear supply chain and facility operations.Industry standards such as ASME NQA-1 and ANS-3.2 are continually being modified to improve support for next generation nuclear power plant operations. The existing generation of U.S. nuclear power plants has one standard for the design and construction of a nuclear facility and a separate standard for the operations of that facility. It became evident that this model would not apply to newer nuclear facilities. Join the American Nuclear Society, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and IHS as they give you an exclusive opportunity to view the current state of managerial, administrative and quality assurance in the industry, and the critical role of standards in ensuring quality throughout nuclear operations. Don't miss this opportunity to understand the history of nuclear standards for managerial, administrative and quality assurance and the changes needed to support the next generation of nuclear power plant operations.

The Gas Price Blame Game

policy reforms and learning the right lessons from the Fukushima

Jack Spencer, senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation. Reforms
should focus on introducing market forces to the management of

despite much adversity -- has proved to be much more than a survivor,"

Fertel: Safety is U.S. nuclear industry's top priority
The U.S. nuclear industry is working to enhance the safety of its nuclear plants and is proactively applying lessons from the Fukushima Daiichi incident in Japan, writes Marvin Fertel, president and CEO of the Nuclear Energy Institute. Nuclear plants are already equipped with several emergency generators, backup off-site power supplies and battery banks, yet their operators are still increasing safety layers by adding or ordering major equipment. "To continue to reap its benefits and move toward American energy independence, we must and we will ensure that nuclear energy facilities operate safely," Fertel writes. CNN
