 | | An article in Boston Globe yesterday notes that nuclear energy was specifically prohibited from being considered a green power source under the Kyoto Protocol, and that New England is emerging as a battleground in the industry's campaign to be granted credits under a nine-state plan to reduce greenhouse gases. | | | He predicts, for example, that dirt will be turned for new nuclear plant in US well within five years. | | | While nuclear.com disagrees with Dr. Lovelock about the CO2 alarm, it's a pleasure to understand that he is willing to recognize the implications of his alarm. |

| | Howstuffworks "How Nuclear Power Works" |
| | There are more than 400 nuclear power plants around the world, with more than 100 in the United States. | | | Have you ever wondered how a nuclear power plant works or how safe nuclear power is? In this article, we will examine how a nuclear reactor and a power plant work. | | | In the United States, nuclear power supplies about 15 percent of the electricity overall, but some states get more power from nuclear plants than others. |

| | FEMA Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Fact Sheet: Since 1980, each utility that owns a commercial nuclear power plant in the United States has been required to have both an onsite and offsite emergency response plan as a condition of obtaining and maintaining a license to operate that plant. | | | : Nuclear power has many advantages, but there are also some risks associated with it according to this student. | | | Chernobyl: On 26 April, 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear power station, in Ukraine, suffered a major accident which was followed by a prolonged release to the atmosphere of large quantities of radioactive substances. |

| | The Energy Story - Chapter 13: Nuclear Energy - Fission and Fusion |
| | This water from around the nuclear core is sent to another section of the power plant. | | | A nuclear power plant (like Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant shown on the right) uses uranium as a "fuel." Uranium is an element that is dug out of the ground many places around the world. | | | So, instead of burning a fuel, nuclear power plants use the chain reaction of atoms splitting to change the energy of atoms into heat energy. |

| | Today, with advanced reactors and a global system of performance review, nuclear power has achieved a superb safety record, both for plant workers and the public. | | | Nuclear power and nuclear arms both start with the natural element U-235. | | | But only nuclear power offers clean, environmentally friendly energy on a massive scale. |

| | Nuclear-powered Ships |
| | thermal efficiency is less than in civil nuclear power plants due to the need for flexible power output, and space constraints for the steam system. | | | The icebreaker Lenin was the world's first nuclear-powered surface vessel (20,000 dwt) and remained in service for 30 years, though new reactors were fitted in 1970. | | | At the end of the Cold War, in 1989, there were over 400 nuclear-powered submarines operational or being built. |

| | The possibility that terrorists might crash a hijacked airliner into a nuclear power plant is one of the more nightmarish scenarios to have surfaced since the al Qaeda attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. | | | However, disagreement remains as to whether a plant could survive such an attack as well as the likely consequences. | | | Additionally, North Korea may view nuclear weapons, and particularly the missile systems that complement them, as a valuable export technology. |

| | He said that the power Constellation Energy supplies to New England comes from a mix of sources, including nuclear power, fossil fuels, biomass, large hydro plants, and small hydro and alternative sources. | | | Coates, a mechanical engineer who lives in Northborough, is self-employed as an engineering consultant, and most of his clients are hydroelectric power plant owners. | | | The amount of power that the Acton Hydro plant will produce is a very small percentage of that used by light plant customers, according to Cronan. |

| | Nuclear Terrorism |
| | The most concentrated sources of large quantities of radioactive isotopes are contained in spent nuclear fuel from power plants, but these sources are relatively inaccessible due to their size (several meters in height), weight (half a metric ton) and radiation barrier (thousands to tens of thousands of rem per hour surface dose). | | | The Task Force warned that the "probability of nuclear terrorism is increasing" because of a number of factors including "the growing incidence, sophistication and lethality of conventional forms of terrorism," as well as the vulnerability of nuclear power and research reactors to sabotage and of weapons-usable nuclear materials to theft. | | | NRC standards require that nuclear plant operators protect against a much smaller number of attackers than involved in these attacks. |

| | The director of the Novovoronezh nuclear power plant said in the interview to "Molodoy Kommunar" newspaper in Voronezh on August 17: "Plutonium (MOX) fuel can not be loaded into unit 5 of my nuclear plant because the reactor was not made for this kind of fuel." | | | A 1996 report by Russian Minatom and US DOE suggested to fabricate MOX fuel and load unit 5 of the Novovoronezh nuclear power plant among other reactors with this MOX fuel. | | | "You can try to load MOX fuel into Novovoronezh 5, but then I wouldn't suggest to start this unit up," said Alexandr Krutskih, director of the technical department of the Russian Nuclear Inspectorate (GAN) at the Novovoronezh plant when he visited an antinuclear action camp to talk with the activists. |

| | Indian Point 3 could be offline for several days after a failed electrical breaker at a substation across the street led to the nuclear power plant's automatic shutdown, the plant's owner said yesterday. | | | Indian Point's owner has asked the Federal Emergency Management Agency to certify emergency evacuation plans for the nuclear power plants, and FEMA officials said yesterday the agency may rule on the plans without additional documentation from the four counties surrounding the plants. | | | Closing down the Indian Point nuclear power plant, despite the grim predictions about blackouts and soaring electricity costs, might not be as painful as the plant's owners have contended, according to two new studies commissioned by opponents of the plant. |
