Israeli Nuclear Board Okays the Iran Deal

Israeli Nuclear Board Okays the Iran Deal

by Ali Gharib
The pattern is clear as day: whatever Benjamin Netanyahu has to say about the Iran deal is based in hyperbole, fear-mongering, and fantasy. Before the nuclear deal was even inked, Netanyahu made a highly politicized appearance at Congress and denounced the deal. The accord, Netanyahu said, “doesn’t block Iran’s path to the bomb; it paves Iran’s path to the bomb. So why would anyone make this deal?” On the cusp of a deal in July, Netanyahu proclaimed: “This deal will pave Iran’s path to a nuclear arsenal.” After the deal was finally struck, he said that Iran “is going to receive a sure path to nuclear weapons.”
Now we have a report that a notable authority disagrees with Netanyahu’s assessment: the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission. This is the body that advises the government—that is, Netanyahu’s government—on nuclear matters. The commission, according to a report yesterday in Haaretz, found that the Iran nuclear deal was likely to prevent Iran from getting the bomb. According to Haaretz:
The commission’s members say they are convinced that the April 2 agreement between Iran and the world powers will prevent Iran from developing a nuclear bomb. In recent years these experts have been analyzing information about Iran’s nuclear project, and estimating how far away the Islamic Republic was from developing a bomb.http://lobelog.com/israeli-nuclear-board-okays-the-iran-deal/#more-31581

IAEA Calls for Papers for a Major Conference on Decommissioning and Environmental Remediation

IAEA Calls for Papers for a Major Conference on Decommissioning and Environmental Remediation

Vanhatalo/IAEA)
What happens to a nuclear facility or a site after it served its purpose? This question will be the focus of a major IAEA event taking place in Madrid, Spain from 23 to 27 May 2016. The International Conference on Advancing the Global Implementation of Decommissioning and Environmental Remediation Programmes will enable participants to share and review challenges, achievements and lessons learned related to decommissioning and environmental remediation programmes that have been implemented during the past decade. Participants interested in making a presentation have until 16 November 2015 to submit paper abstracts through the conference web site.
“Much remains to be done in terms of addressing the legacies from the early development of nuclear energy, including the dismantling of research and fuel cycle facilities, research reactors and nuclear power plants,” said Patrick O’Sullivan, a decommissioning specialist from the IAEA Department of Nuclear Energy and one of the Scientific Secretaries of the conference. “The same goes for the remediation of sites affected by past uranium mining and processing, by other activities involving the use of naturally occurring radioactive material or by major nuclear or radiological accidents.”
The last major conference on decommissioning organized by the IAEA was in 2006 and on environmental remediation in 2009. Significant developments in these areas have since taken place in some countries and it is now timely to reflect on the current status of programmes and to exchange lessons learned. Often, long term solutions are yet to be found for managing the resulting waste, including the development of disposal facilities that meet public acceptance and safety requirements. Some countries are moving forward with dealing with these legacies but many national programmes still face significant challenges.
“Decommissioning and environmental remediation are in many respects closely related,” O’Sullivan said. “Addressing both issues in one conference is a recognition that significant synergies exist between them, which should be explored to boost implementation of both activities across the world.”
The conference will enable participants to share and review challenges, achievements and lessons learned related to decommissioning and environmental remediation programmes that have been implemented during the past decade. Key goals will include raising awareness of the importance of addressing the legacies from past activities; identifying current priority needs; and providing recommendations on the approaches that can enable and enhance safe, secure and cost-effective implementation of national and international programmes.
The conference will bring together both policy makers and technical experts concerned with planning and implementing decommissioning and remediation programmes and projects. Representatives from national and local governments, funding organizations, regulatory authorities, public health authorities, facility operators, waste management bodies and international organizations will make up the key audience.

The Western Press spins Japan’s workman’s comp into a medical diagnosis

The Western Press is calling a workman’s comp award an admission of cancer due to an extremely low radiation exposure! In reality, no such concession has been issued by anyone… and correctly so. It is a monetary award granted through a forty-year-old statute. There has been no medical connection made between the cancer and the individual’s exposure. But, the Western Press has “spun” a totally different story.

TVA’s Watts Bar 2 Reactor Receives Operating License From Federal Regulator

It Took 42 Years to Finish This Nuclear Power Plant in the U.S.

From the NRC Blog:

The Inspection Beat Goes on at Watts Bar Unit 2

William Jones
Director of the Division of Construction Projects
Region II

An NRC Construction Resident Inspector watches TVA staff install the reactor pressure vessel inside the containment building at Watts Bar Unit 2.
An NRC Construction Resident Inspector watches TVA staff perform construction activities at Watts Bar Unit 2.
The NRC has issued an operating license to the Watts Bar Unit 2 reactor in Tennessee, bringing the U.S. to 100 commercial reactors. The plant’s owner, the Tennessee Valley Authority, had restarted construction of the incomplete reactor in 2007 and updated its application for Unit 2’s license in 2009.
Since 2007, NRC inspectors have devoted more than 200,000 hours to supporting the agency’s decision that Unit 2 qualifies for a license. There’s more to do, however, before Unit 2 starts splitting atoms and generating electricity, and the NRC’s going to keep an eye on all of that.
The NRC’s two permanent Resident Inspectors at Watts Bar have another full-time resident inspector and additional regional inspectors on site during this period. The inspectors and NRC management follow a well-defined process to monitor a plant as it starts up for the first time.  One of the most obvious steps we’ll monitor is when TVA loads the uranium fuel into the Unit 2 reactor.
Once Unit 2 is ready for the initial reactor startup, the NRC staff will verify TVA has properly calibrated the instruments that monitor the chain reaction even at the lowest sustainable level. The plant operators must also show they can manually shut off the chain reaction. When all those steps are done, the NRC inspectors will watch the operators’ actions as they let Unit 2 start splitting a very small number of atoms.
The next step involves testing the reactor at very low power levels. The chain reaction is affected by changes in coolant water temperature and chemicals in the water. The NRC inspectors will examine the low-power tests to ensure the plant has properly measured changes in the reaction.
As each of these tests is passed, Unit 2 will increase power in small steps and examine the reactor’s response to abnormal events. For instance, if the plant’s turbine stops running the reactor’s heat has lost its normal outlet, so the reactor must shut down. The reactor must also respond properly to shutdown commands from alternate control stations and a simulated loss of power from the electric grid.
If TVA successfully completes all of these steps, Unit 2 will be ready to add about 1,100 megawatts to the electric grid in the Southeast. During this entire process, the NRC’s inspectors will also be gathering and analyzing the information needed to gauge Unit 2’s safety performance under the agency’s Reactor Oversight Process. This process will guide NRC actions at Unit 2 as long as the plant continues to operate.

Future energy system needs nuclear, says UK academy

Future energy system needs nuclear, says UK academy
A fundamental restructuring of the whole energy system is needed if the UK is to meet the so-called energy 'trilemma' of affordability, security and decarbonization, according to the Royal Academy of Engineering. It is essential that nuclear remains part of that system, it says.http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/EE-Future-energy-system-needs-nuclear-says-UK-academy-2310154.html

US NRC Blog Update: It’s Mole Day for the Whole Day at the NRC

It’s Mole Day for the Whole Day at the NRC

6946377219_6486264c6f_zChemistry fans often refer to Oct. 23 as “Mole Day,” since the numbers 10 and 23 are part of a basic constant in chemistry, the mole. This unit describes how many atoms exist in a given sample of any substance, so scientists use moles to simplify lots of calculations. For example, when an average nuclear reactor first starts up its core has about 120,000 kilograms of uranium in its fuel. A mole of uranium weighs about 238 grams, so a brand-new core has about 504,000 moles of uranium. A plant scientist or NRC specialist would base some core calculations on a more exact definition of moles in the core.
