ANS Nuclear Policy Wire: Resounding "No" for NOPR

January 9, 2018

News Resounding "No" for NOPR   On Monday, five commissioners unanimously rejected Energy Secretary Rick Perry's plan to shore up resilience of coal-fired and nuclear power plants. The commissioners' 5-0 decision against the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ordered U.S. grid operators to provide an additional assessment of "naturally occurring and man-made threats" to their plants within 60 days, functionally delaying any further action until at least April.   Though he voted "no" along with his four co-commissioners, FERC Commissioner Neil Chatterjee remains optimistic about the potential for targeted reforms for coal and nuclear operators. The former FERC Chairman issued this statement after the vote "major regulatory reform efforts often can take several years to complete. ... But I believe that the record compiled in this proceeding speaks to the prudence of considering, as soon as practicable, whether interim measures may be needed to avoid near-term bulk power system resilience challenges that could result from the rapid, unprecedented changes in our generation resource mix."

Artificial intelligence helps accelerate progress toward efficient fusion reactions -- ScienceDaily

Artificial intelligence helps accelerate progress toward efficient fusion reactions -- ScienceDaily: Before scientists can effectively capture and deploy fusion energy, they must learn to predict major disruptions that can halt fusion reactions and damage the walls of doughnut-shaped fusion devices called tokamaks. Timely prediction of disruptions, the sudden loss of control of the hot, charged plasma that fuels the reactions, will be vital to triggering steps to avoid or mitigate such large-scale events. Today, researchers are employing artificial intelligence to improve predictive capability.

This Midwestern State Is The Surprising Standout On Cutting Carbon Pollution

By By Environmental Defense Fund Energy Exchange Blog,   /  January 8, 2018 10:00 AM

One state surprisingly stands out for reducing carbon emissions from electricity. Ohio saw an impressive 37.7 percent drop in its power sector’s carbon emissions from 2005 to 2015. Despite not having a stellar track record on clean energy, the Buckeye State, in fact, has become the nation’s carbon-reducing powerhouse: In absolute terms, Ohio slashed its carbon pollution
