The turbine is 83 meters wide and stands 1.4 kilometers off the city of Kitakyushu. It generates 5,500 megawatts of electricity annually, enough to supply 1,500 households for a year. The turbine began rolling slowly as officials pushed the start button in Thursday's ceremony. The project is a joint effort between the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization, or NEDO, and Electric Power Development Company, also known as J-POWER.

Officials say the plan will include a new organization to hear from people in the area. Officials of the government and Tokyo Electric Power Company had been finalizing the timetable for decommissioning the 4 reactors, disabled in the earthquake and tsunami two years ago. They say they will ask leaders of local governments to take part in the new organization to hear their opinions on the decommission procedures and ways to inform the residents.

Officials of the government and Tokyo Electric Power Company approved the revision in a joint panel meeting on Thursday. The revision is meant to accelerate work to dismantle the plant's 4 reactors, which were disabled in the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami. But officials warn the work could fall behind schedule because engineers have yet to determine the exact state of melted fuel inside the reactors. The revised roadmap has set different timelines for removing fuel from the No. 1, 2 and 3 reactors. No.4 was offline at the time of the accident. [link to www3.nhk.or.jp] . |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 38176253 Sweden 06/27/2013 12:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The government and Tokyo Electric Power Co. decided Thursday on a revised road map for decommissioning the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactors, eyeing the start of the removal of melted fuel in 2020 at the earliest. The government believes it is possible to bring forward defueling by more than a year from the initial plan through an improvement in work efficiency. However, the exact date cannot be guaranteed with TEPCO not knowing at this point exactly where the fuel is located and in what state it is in. It is the first major revision of the road map that outlines the 40-year-long process of scrapping the Nos. 1 to 4 units at the Fukushima Daiichi plant.

Waterbug (OP) User ID: 34388912 United States 06/27/2013 08:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Earthquake Could Cause Los Alamos Plutonium Facility to Collapse [link to www.nextgov.com] snip The IG also said systems designed to suppress fires in structures that store 5,600 containers of nuclear waste suffered from numerous pipe breaks and freeze damage. Forest fires in 2000 and 2011 resulted in evacuation of the lab and the city of Los Alamos. The National Nuclear Security Administration, which manages the lab, dismissed earthquake concerns. “There is a rare probability of a seismic event occurring in Los Alamos of sufficient magnitude to cause a significant plutonium release from PF-4,” NNSA said, referring to the plutonium facility. |

Glitch in TMI alert system causes new sirens to fall silent [link to www.pennlive.com] snip Ask not for whom the bell tolls, for it tolls not at all. When Three Mile Island operator Exelon tested its new siren alert system Thursday, nothing happened. The sirens stood silent. The problems cropped up an hour later, when the company and local emergency officials attempted to repeat the same test with the company's new alert system. And the sirens were quiet. In the second test, none of the new 92 sirens, part of a $13 million upgrade of sirens around Exelon Generation's nuclear stations, sounded. The new sirens are louder than the existing system and have battery backup, meaning they will work even in the event of a power outage. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 38176253 Sweden 06/28/2013 02:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Japan's nuclear fuel cycle left in limbo A Japanese power company has started receiving fresh supplies of recycled nuclear fuel from overseas, even though all but two of the nation's reactors remain offline. On Thursday, MOX fuel from France arrived at Kansai Electric Power Company's Takahama nuclear plant in Fukui Prefecture. It is unclear whether the utility will be able to use it soon. MOX fuel is a mixture of plutonium extracted from spent nuclear fuel and uranium. It was hoped this approach would offer an efficient and sustainable way for Japan to recycle its spent nuclear fuel. But safety concerns delayed its introduction. Experts discovered that control-rods used to stop nuclear fission are not as effective with MOX fuel as ordinary nuclear fuels. Even before the Fukushima Daiichi accident, only 4 reactors in Japan were burning MOX fuel. [link to www3.nhk.or.jp] . |

But he said the public will not approve of the government taking the initiative in sales promotions. He also said many people are still unable to return to their homes since evacuating after the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in 2011. [link to www3.nhk.or.jp] . |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 38176253 Sweden 06/28/2013 03:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | WASHINGTON — As more nuclear reactors across the country are closed, the problem of what to do with their waste is becoming more urgent, government officials and private experts said at a conference here this week. To address the problem, a bipartisan group of four senators introduced a bill on Thursday that would provide for temporary, centralized storage, even as House leaders remained focused on trying to revive plans for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository that the Obama administration has declared dead. Nuclear waste is accumulating in steel and concrete storage casks at reactor sites around the country. But the casks — sealed boxes of many tons — cannot be sent to any repository because they are not compatible, said Jeff Williams, director of the Energy Department’s Nuclear Fuel Storage and Transportation Planning Project. In addition, a growing number of the sites no longer have an operating reactor or the associated fuel-handling equipment, so they have no way to move the highly radioactive fuel to another storage package.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 38176253 Sweden 06/28/2013 03:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nuclear issues in Japan piling up but no easy resolutions There is a widespread and deep-seated dissatisfaction in Japan today surrounding the nuclear industry and its’ cozy relationship with the central government. All but two nuclear reactors are currently shut down while the nation formalizes an energy plan that will dictate whether or not any nuclear reactors will be allowed to restart. The public dissatisfaction is not just generated by the idling of the nuclear power plants in the island nation, the accumulating amounts of nuclear waste, the MOX fuel debate, or the continual increasing of rates by utilities in Japan due to costs incurred due to the shutdown of the nuclear reactors, it is all of the above and more. Many communities in Fukushima Prefecture are raising the alarm that decontamination efforts are not providing satisfactory results and are now calling for re-decontamination efforts which the government is asked to cover. It has been reported multiple times over the last two years that areas that have been decontaminated have been found to become re-contaminated over short periods of time. Officials have blamed this on multiple issues ranging from the quality of decontamination work, proper disposal of contaminated waste, even the slow creep of contamination down from the mountains into the valleys with every rainstorm which will continue unabated for the foreseeable future.
