Nuclear Energy Industry Transitions

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards has re-elected Graham Wallis as chairman, William Shack as vice chairman and John Sieber as member-at-large.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has appointed Jeanne Lopatto to the newly created position of special assistant for federal and international programs. Lopatto previously served as director of public affairs for the Department of Energy.

Donald Miller, vice president of Urenco Inc., left the company on Jan. 20. He had been with Urenco since 1985.

Constellation Energy’s subsidiary, Constellation NewEnergy, has named Terry Harvill vice president of regional regulatory and government affairs (Michigan and Ohio). Harvill joins Constellation NewEnergy from DTE Energy Co., where he was director of regulatory policy and operations. Harvill also served as a commissioner of the Illinois Commerce Commission.

Robert Eby will lead USEC Inc.’s American Centrifuge engineering and manufacturing operations in Oak Ridge, Tenn.

Philippe Garderet is the new scientific vice president of AREVA. He will head the ITER project for the company. Alain Bucaille has filled Garderet’s former position as senior vice president, research and innovation.

The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) has announced that Hank Courtright will serve as vice president of the environment and energy analysis sector. He previously served as vice president of the generation sector. Chris Larsen will replace him in that role. Larsen previously was managing director of EPRI International Inc.

Activists' Claims Distort Facts about Advanced Reactor Design

Below is from our rapid response team . Yesterday, regional anti-nuclear organizations asked federal nuclear energy regulators to launch an investigation into what it claims are “newly identified flaws” in Westinghouse’s advanced reactor design, the AP1000. During a teleconference releasing a report on the subject, participants urged the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to suspend license reviews of proposed AP1000 reactors. In its news release, even the groups making these allegations provide conflicting information on its findings. In one instance, the groups cite “dozens of corrosion holes” at reactor vessels and in another says that eight holes have been documented. In all cases, there is another containment mechanism that would provide a barrier to radiation release. Below, we examine why these claims are unwarranted and why the AP1000 design certification process should continue as designated by the NRC. Myth: In the AP1000 reactor design, the gap between the shield bu...

How many nuclear plants does it take to meet the world's energy needs?

Several weeks ago Joshua Pearce at Clarion University in Pennsylvania released a study titled “ Thermodynamic limitations to nuclear energy deployment as a greenhouse gas mitigation technology .” In the study he stated... nuclear energy production would have to increase by 10.5% per year from 2010 to 2050 to both replace fossil-fuel-energy use and meet the future energy demands. This line, of course, made the headlines and has been picked up by several outlets and blogs . When looking into his calculations for this statement, he made one assumption error that overstated the above sentence by nearly a factor of three. Page 121, Section 4.1 of the study states: Richard Smalley pointed out that in 2004, the global economy consumed the equivalent of 220 million barrels of oil per day, which converted into electricity terms is the equivalent of 14.5 TeraWatts (TW), or 14,500,000 MegaWatts (MW) (2005). … With a nuclear plant having about 1000 MW (1 GW) of capacity, we would need 14,500...

What Happens During a Refueling Outage?

You may have noticed over the past few weeks that a number of nuclear plants are shut down for refueling outages or are resuming operations after just returning from one. This type of routine outage usually occurs in the spring or fall when electricity demand is low so that nuclear reactors can replace about one-third of the spent fuel rods with new fuel and conduct other routine maintenance and repairs at the plant. To get a better sense of how refueling works at a nuclear energy facility, I spoke with Marcus Nichol, NEI’s senior project manager for used fuel storage and transportation, and asked him to explain the basics. Why does a nuclear plant need to replace one-third of its fuel? Nichol: The main purpose of a refueling outage is to replace older fuel that is depleted—meaning it can no longer efficiently produce energy from nuclear fission reactions—with new fuel. This “used fuel” has typically been used in the reactor for four-and-a-half to six years before it is pe...
