Westinghouse reacting to the "Nuclear Phaseout"
The company expanded by about 5,000 new hires over the last five years
on predictions of a nuclear renaissance in the making. The cuts,
Westinghouse CEO said, are a result of slowed demand for nuclear power
around the world following the 2011 Fukushima meltdown, as well as a worldwide economy still struggling to find its way out of a recession.
The writing is on the wall, solar is 3cents to 8 cents per kWH, and the long term nuke of new nuke is 62 cent to 92 cents.
Sorry, that a clear winner. Solar wins, nuke loses. Goodbye and good riddance.

New Nuke, Over schedule, over budget
By even trying to get close to "safe enough", and because of the lack of industry expertise in this dying industry, new nuke just doesn't make sense
They are overbudget, and this plant they tried to complete by 2009 is now "hoped" to be finished by 2016. Good luck with your 1.666% annual rate of return on investment, if there is ever ANY return on investment.

Another Accident Covered Up, Peterborough Tritium
A reader brought something to our attention, and its a good one. You know those emergency exit lights that are in almost every building in the "civilized world", well they are designed to stay lit even without electrical power, so you can excape the building even during a power failure, even through smoke.
This is a licensed form of radiation in our immediate environments. Battery backups make a lot more sense to me. Because radiation "glows in the dark"....well the old saying is, just because we can, does that mean we should.
Check it out. Do you think we ought phase out these devices in almost all buildings except for the most specialized situations? Like say an emergency exit in a dangerous area that requires vapor proof light fixtures to avoid explosion and servicing of batteries would present an undue risk.

TechDud has left a new comment on your post "Nuke Accidents Civilian and Military 99 since 195...":
How about the Peterborough Tritium releases rivaling that of a full-fledged Candu NPP?
http://www.ccnr.org/tritium_exit_signs.pdf
Quote: "On February 1, 2010, a tritium light factory (SSI) located at the Peterborough Airport released 147 trillion becquerels of tritium to the atmosphere in about 5 minutes. This did not become public knowledge until 2012."

And this is a Maddow report that I first saw on a "Green Road" blog, about nuke accidents, coverups, etc.

Finally got into the nuke industry with Atlantic Group at the Calvert Cliffs shutdown (expensive there!!)
On the first day (mind you this was my first job in the industry) during orientation I recieved a call on my cell phone that my wife was in the emergency room and I freaked out and left the plant and flew back to WI. Ok not too bad so far ( and now my wife is out of the hospital).
The bad part is that I didn't tell anyone at the plant I was leaving and I freaked out and just left. I called my recruiter at AG and he chewed me a new hole in my bottom and hung up on me. Not good!! Now I am out of work and he won't return my calls and I think I just screwed myself royaly in the industry. So what do you guys and gals think I should do, I am desperatly in need of the work and have to find something here even if I could go back to Calvert for Bartlett or Ames, my craft was only a laborer and I can do just about anything if they would let me (LOL). But I jsut wanted to get my DOE clearence first. Suggestions would be helpful, thanks

Now the troubled Pilgrim plant is trying to shut down because of a snow storm. If it doesn't shut down, then it melts down, it is really that simple.

"Valve problem plagues Pilgrim nuclear plant"-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.capecodonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20130206/NEWS/302060332
Fixing safety valves by pumping reactor power up and down? Oookay… After already replacing said valves, which is to say the problem is somewhere else.
http://bostonglobe.com/business/2013/01/24/pilgrim-nuclear-plant-back-online-questions-linger-plymouth/k25udeba1UpwJlvQrPUa4M/story.html
"Another incident would likely trigger a tougher federal review, said Dave Lochbaum, director of the Nuclear Safety Project at the Union of Concerned Scientists." I guess this would be at least ninth outage or unexpected problem in 2 years for this Fukushima twin.
http://www.wickedlocal.com/wellfleet/news/x2105871310/Pilgrim-nuclear-meltdown-risk-spurs-Cape-lawmakers-to-action
"The plant was designed to hold 880 spent fuel rods. It now holds 3,200, Rolbein said." Talk of plans to shutter in Cape Cod for 6 hours in case of meltdown so as to allow people from other areas to evacuate first. Now that's emergency planning!

Troubles at Pilgrim Nuclear Plant----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
W/Video
With the end of its 40-year license approaching in 2012, the owners of Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station in Plymouth have applied for a 20-year extension. But opponents of the plant, including some local and state politicians, question the reactor's safety after three sister reactors in Japan experienced explosions and likely meltdowns this past year. There also is the lingering issue of a tightly packed spent-fuel storage pool at Pilgrim. Finally, there are concerns about the fact that hundreds of thousands of residents and visitors on Cape Cod would have nowhere to go in the event of an emergency. This WGBH News three-part series looks at these issues and others, while discussing how the context for plant relicensing has changed in light of the ongoing crises at Fukushima in Japan.

From a blog operator who own land near Palisades
The Palisades nuclear plant can be used to illustrate the concerns I have. It has a history of problems and repairs that need to be made yet the NRC continues to find ways to allow it to remain in operation. In my opinion the company that owns Palisades, “Entergy” is becoming the slum lord of nuclear plant operators. Entergy purchased Palisades which needed repairs and has not made them.http://www.nuclearblues.com/2012/05/29/my-statement-to-nrc-chairman-jaczko-on-palisades-and-the-nrc/

I have a master degree from the U of Mich in material science, and mechanical engineering. So I understand alot about what it takes to abuse atoms to the point them want to give up their neutrons (think neutering the atom, they won't do they willingly).
And for a while I thought the science and technology could be made clean enough to be statistically safe. That was my minor of study, probability and statistics.
Now, after revisiting what the nuclear industry has been doing, I have come to the conclusion that humans and nuclear cannot occupy the same planet and be safe.
Here is why, a manifesto

------------------------------------------
If you understand materials and science you must know the issue is a human one not a scientific one. Having come to such a conclusion you might then want to take another look at probability and statistics because they’re a lot more things out there that will kill you plus many others faster an more likely...and yes with more devastation which you live with everyday.---------------------
The human problems start with not solving issues but ignoring them or regressing to defensive positions. Edison once told Tesla that alternating current would destroy the world…how’s your lights working?
Systems operate within certain rule, on a large scale you can't avoid but have an end result dictated by the normal rules. On a small scale, you can actually "break the rules" at least for a time, you can control the entropy and the natural path.
Humans have some negative characteristics that over time will play out with predictable results. Greed and the need for power and control are some of the worst, ignorance and denial don't help either. On a grand scale, you can't control these factors, they will eventually play out. We have wars all the time.
When you mix humans and nuke, the outcome is predictable over time.

Palisades - Propaganda for the Clunker
Palisades is another Clunker on Lake Michigan. Just like Kewaunee on the Wisconsin side, the clunker Palisades is on the Michigan side. Think if a Fukushima type release into the water occurred in this landlocked Lake....the midwest would be killed and that would probably be enough kill off the American empire.How can we take these risks? Through greed, we have achieved action akin to insanity. The lure, the promises of power "too cheap to meter" has played out in Orwellian fashion with reality setting in above the propaganda, and Kewaunee is being shut down because it can't compete with Nat Gas and Solar.
Palisades also has THE WORST Embrittled reactor due to:
1) Age of plant and extent of neutron bombardment
2) Specifics of Metallic Alloying of the reactor vessel including the weld materials.
I did a future article on Embittlement. It's very important. In an emergency, when the reactor was melting down and at very high pressure, the addition of cooling water would crack the whole thing open with a massive radioactive explosion. Read up, it's worth it.
http://nukeprofessional.blogspot.com/2016/01/palisades-nuclear-has-brittle-reactor.html
Now the NRC is partaking in "communication with the public", to assure them how safe Palisades is....after a series of 4 pipes leaked radiation right through the wall of the pipe...not at a joint, not at a pump, not due to seismic event, just a plain old rust through....like a 1960's car with multiple holes in the radiator and engine block, and yet they want this clunker to live on.
PS Communication = Propaganda
Drop by the NRC website and drop a comment. They are pretty good about not censoring comments that are civilly worded, even if critical.

source for us electric data
EIA good data here, you can download very nice spreadsheets and make some charts
Clearly, nuclear is dying, coal is dying, and renewables are rocking.

Radiation Spread in the Pacific, a good model
This model does self admit that they are completely ignoring the effects of bio accumulation, which would make things much worse. Looks like Hawaii is already seeing the ocean impact.
The red zone is 1/1000 times less than the original dispersion in Japan. That doesn't sound all that great considering they just caught a fish with 254,000 Bq per kG at the Fukushima harbor. Anything above 100 Bq/kG is extremely bad. Eating 1kG of this fish is like a total of 2 years of total radiation exposure, and ITS INTERNAL!

Romania Nuke and solar
I just put in 65 solar systems, a massive push. Very tired.
Not enough to knock out a nuke plant, but we have different methods of doing that.
When I think Romania, I think of communist girls pushed to gymnastic heights, not quality nuke operations.....ouch.
