Nuclear, fracking, wind and wave: nine ways to power Ireland
We’re afraid of fracking, we don’t like wind turbines and we don’t have enough oil. Any chance we might cut down on energy usage?

Saudi
Arabia’s oil minister is concerned about potentially disruptive trends
that could undermine the oil industry in the coming decades. New
technologies and efforts to cut carbon emissions offer potentially
existential threats to the world’s most important commodity. Current
projections from the IEA and other analysts all forecast demand for oil
increasing, with medium-term forecasts

ISIS Reports: ISIS’s initial findings from the Iran safeguards report
ISIS Reports
ISIS’s initial findings from the Iran safeguards report
by David Albright, Serena Kelleher-Vergantini, Andrea Stricker, Paulina Izewicz, and Daniel SchnurFebruary 19, 2015
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has released today its most recent quarterly safeguards report on Iran. ISIS will release a full technical analysis of the report later today, however below are several first-look takeaways.
ISIS’s initial observations include:
1) Iran’s average daily production of 3.5 percent low enriched uranium (LEU) has decreased.
2) Iran has not managed to produce 3.5 percent LEU oxide from 3.5 percent LEU hexafluoride fed into the Enriched U02 Powder Plant (EUPP). It has fed 2,750 kilograms of such LEU hexafluoride into the process lines but the output remains in intermediate forms of enriched uranium. The reason for not being able to make LEU oxide, as expected, is unknown.
3) Iran has increased the rate of feeding of natural uranium hexafluoride (UF6) into its advanced centrifuges at the Natanz pilot fuel enrichment plant (PFEP). The feeding rate is significantly greater than the previous three reporting periods and more than double the rate of the last reporting period. In the advanced centrifuges, after enrichment and the measurement of the enrichment level of the product, the product is remixed with the tails or waste, producing natural uranium.
4) The IR-5 centrifuge located at the PFEP has been disconnected and is unable to enrich uranium without reconnecting the pipework. This disconnection reflects Iran addressing concerns about its enrichment in the centrifuge in the last reporting period. The disconnection provides additional confidence that Iran is abiding by its commitments under the Joint Plan of Action.
5) No progress has been achieved in this reporting period on resolving the IAEA’s concerns on the possible military dimensions of Iran’s nuclear program. In particular, Iran has not proposed any new practical measures to resolve this issue in a fourth step under the IAEA/Iran Framework for Cooperation. It has also not addressed the last two measures in the third step of the Framework for Cooperation that had been agreed upon in May 2014.
6) Suspicious activities continue at the Parchin military site.

Nuclear science is climate science: IAEA, UNEP sign practical arrangement to address climate change
Nuclear science is climate science: IAEA, UNEP sign practical arrangement to address climate change
February 18, 2015

As the IAEA develops and expands its efforts to protect humankind and
the environment, it has increasingly found common cause with the United
Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), a specialized agency which
coordinates and establishes the guiding policies for environmental
activities around the world. With their mutual interest for
environmental protection in mind, the two organizations have entered
into a Practical Arrangement (PA) with the intention of solidifying and formalizing their already productive relationship.The IAEA and UNEP share a long history of partnership, across a number of intersecting disciplines and fields of activity. The first project undertaken together was initiated in 1974, and centred on the Agency’s Laboratory for Marine Radioactivity Studies in Monaco. With financial support from UNEP, the IAEA was able to conduct studies to determine the concentration of selected radionuclides, trace elements and hydrocarbons present in samples of Mediterranean seawater. In the intervening 40 years, the two agencies have expanded their collaboration to include new, emerging subjects of interest or concern.
Following a meeting held in May 2013—between Mr Kwaku Aning, Deputy Director General and Head of the Department of Technical Cooperation (TC), and Mr Ibrahim Thiaw, then-Director of the UNEP Policy Branch—the fields of activity which overlap UNEP and IAEA mandates were elaborated and identified.
The areas of common interest between the two organizations include: Climate science and climate change adaptation, ecosystem management, sustainable production and consumption, waste management and disposal, and scientific inputs to environmental policy-making.
More generally, the Practical Arrangement seeks to “develop working relationships that promote sustainable environmental management for the well-being of present and future generations.” By supporting capacity building efforts among the affected Member States, who will in turn implement measures to conserve resources and ecosystems, the PA provides the tools needed to adapt to the impacts of climate change and variability.
Expanded cooperation is also envisaged through the planning and design of natural resource management projects, which would fall within the framework of the Global Environmental Facility (GEF). These projects would benefit from a comparative advantage, as UNEP and the IAEA have complementary, specialized roles in the GEF.
An interregional project[1] which counts 23 countries among its participants is already leveraging the specialized capabilities of both organizations. Initiated in 2014, the project seeks to identify and address the effects of climate change, which the UNDP described as “the defining human development challenge of the 21st century” in their 2008 Human Development Report.
Nowhere are the effects of manmade climate change more evident than in the Earth’s polar and mountainous regions, where changing precipitation and rising temperatures are causing ice glaciers to melt. As a result, farming communities relocate to higher altitudes, often in more delicate ecosystems, causing further land degradation and affecting food security. Reports published by UNEP highlight a growing need to provide local policy-makers and stakeholders in these regions with accurate, long-term information regarding atmospheric carbon concentrations and changing average temperatures.
By conducting C-14 carbon dating and performing stable isotope analyses of the soil at the foot of retreating glaciers, experts can discern what the future portends for local farmers and rural communities, both in terms of soil composition and future meteorological trends.
The IAEA is providing close technical support to all the participating Member States—through expert missions and training events, the project will strengthen capacities in the implementation of the appropriate nuclear techniques. Complementing the Agency’s work, UNEP will not only raise awareness for climate change generally, but will use the data generated by the interregional project to justify further interventions to slow, prevent or adapt to climate change.
With the Practical Arrangement signed and in effect, future collaboration between the IAEA and UNEP will doubtlessly continue, and will build upon the links already established in the past 50 years.http://www.iaea.org/technicalcooperation/Home/Highlights-Archive/Archive-2015/02182015-UNEP.html

Nuclear Matters Update 2/19
Nuclear Matters kicked off 2015 by hosting two events -- one in Illinois, and another in Ohio. Each provided a valuable opportunity to educate new audiences about the importance of preserving our current nuclear fleet.
* Illinois' Energy Future at the City Club of Chicago *
On January 27, Nuclear Matters Co-Chair Evan Bayh joined Leadership Council members Carol M. Browner and Sean McGarvey at the City Club of Chicago -- a non-profit, non-partisan organization whose members include prominent business, civic and government leaders in Chicago -- for a conversation on the importance of Illinois' nuclear energy plants. Doug Scott, Chairman of the Illinois Commerce Commission, rounded-out the panel. During this sold-out event, the group discussed how the Illinois General Assembly has already started communicating the importance of these plants by passing House Resolution 1146, a report which explains the value of Illinois' nuclear fleet and the negative impacts if plants were taken offline.
