Lasers Defuse Nuclear Waste

Lasers Defuse Nuclear Waste

2003-08-20

It sounds like magic: long-lived radioactive waste made harmless by a laser beam. Now, for the first time scientists have managed to pull it off, transmuting iodine-129, one of the bad boys of nuclear waste, into the much more benign isotope iodine-128.

Renewable energy with Liquid Metal Batteries

Renewable energy with Liquid Metal Batteries

Liquid Metal Batteries Would Make Renewable Energy Viable Engineering.com Tom Spendlove  on July 26, 2013 Electricity demand has to be in constant balance with electricity supplied – this is the large scale problem Donald Sadoway wants to solve in this TED Talk. The constraints of this problem are immense. A solution would need to generate incredibly high power, have a long service life and come at a very low cost.

Energy storage is the solution. Giant batteries could address the problem of intermittency that prevents wind and solar from contributing to the grid like a coal burning power plant.

Nonproliferation Misinterpretation

Yousaf Butt

|

July 26, 2013

In a recent piece for Foreign Policy, former Obama Iran hand Robert Einhorn argues that Iran should not be allowed to enrich uranium because he feels Iran is not in compliance with its Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) obligations, saying:

[W]hat is not debatable is that Iran has forfeited—at least temporarily—any right to enrichment (and reprocessing) until it can demonstrate convincingly that it is in compliance with its NPT obligations.

While this is something Einhorn may wish to be true, it is not correct on several levels. And if it's indicative of the viewpoint of American policymakers, this misunderstanding may be at the root of deadlock over Iran's nuclear program—a program that, according to the U.S. Director of National Intelligence, is not currently aimed towards weaponization. The Iran nuclear issue will not be resolved unless we come to grips with what the NPT is—and isn't.
Contrary to common belief, there is no agency or international body tasked with checking compliance with the NPT. And, even if there were, there is no automatic nuclear fuel-cycle “forfeiture” provision in the NPT, or any other legal instrument in existence. On both these counts Einhorn's argument is without legal basis.

International nuclear experts tell TEPCO ‘You don’t know what you’re doing’

Dale Klein, former head of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) bluntly told the panel, composed of two foreign experts and four Japanese members including TEPCO’s chief executive, that their actions indicate they “don’t know what you are doing,” and that they do not have a conservative decision-making process. “It also appears that you are not keeping the people of Japan informed…and that you are not doing all you can to protect the environment and the people,” Klein blasted at TEPCO. He added that everyone is frustrated with the recent developments, and that because of this all the progress they’ve made on the clean-up at the plant will go unnoticed.

U.S. NRC Blog Astounding Facts about the NRC and Radioactive Materials: Part II

Brenda Akstulewicz

Regulatory Information Conference Assistant

 

As promised, here are some more interesting bits of information about the NRC and nuclear history and science.

• The indicator lights in early appliances ─ such as clothes washers and dryers, coffeemakers, and stereos ─ used Krypton–85, a radioactive isotope.

• The Office of Federal and State Materials and Environmental Management Programs consults with 31 federally recognized Native American tribes on proposed new uranium recovery projects in Wyoming, South Dakota and Nebraska.

• The NRC performs classified reviews of new Naval Reactor submarine and aircraft carrier reactor plants and provides advice to the Navy on the designs. This practice was initiated by President Kennedy in the 1960s.

• Three women, including the current chairman, Allison Macfarlane have held the title of Chairman, Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The other two are Shirley Jackson and Greta Dicus.

• From 2007 to 2012, NRC received 68 petitions for rulemaking. Of those, 21 were denied and 17 were either fully considered or partially considered in the rulemaking process. The remaining 30 are under staff review.

• In the past five years, the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research has issued 244 new or revised regulatory guides, withdrawn 43 guides, and determined another 48 guides to be acceptable as written.

• Glenn T. Seaborg, the scientist who discovered plutonium, was also a chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission – the predecessor of the NRC.

• In 1992 Hurricane Andrew struck the Turkey Point nuclear power plant in Southern Florida, which prompted the NRC and FEMA to enter into a “Memorandum of Understanding” regarding emergency preparedness.

• NRC’s longest serving commissioner was Commissioner Edward McGaffigan. He served 11 years (from1996-2007) after appointments twice by President Clinton and once by President Bush. He died while still serving on the Commission.

• There are 438 nuclear power reactors operating worldwide.

• Tritium gas is used to illuminate exit signs in buildings so they will function without power. Promethium-147 and Krypton-85 are approved by the NRC for use in exits signs.

• On average, NRC expends 6,160 hours of inspection effort at each operating reactor site each year.

New Nuclear Fuel-Rod Cladding Could Lead to Safer Power Plants

July 25, 2013 — In the aftermath of Japan's earthquake and tsunami in March 2011, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant was initially driven into shutdown by the magnitude 9.0 quake; its emergency generators then failed because they were inundated by the tsunami. But the greatest damage to the complex, and the greatest release of radiation, may have been caused by explosions of hydrogen gas that built up inside some of the reactors.
