In theory, at least, Britain now has 10 operating Nuclear Power stations, stretching from Torness on the Firth of Forth to Dungeness on the south Kent coast. Each has two reactors, and ministers boast that they supply about one-fifth of the Power that keeps the lights on. ... Source: www.moreover.com --- 22 days ago

BRASILIA, Brazil _ Brazil plans to build 50 to 60 Nuclear Power Plants in the next half-century, the country`s top energy official said Friday, as a political crisis in Bolivia renewed doubts about the reliability of key natural gas supplies from the Andean country.Construction on some of the new Plants may begin as early as April. The plan aims to reduce dependence on other energy sources, Mines and Energy Minister Edison Lobao told the official government news service Agencia Brasil.The problem in Bolivia is more proof that we have to continue with our Nuclear program, Lobao said.Street protests and invasions of energy installations have caused Bolivian natural gas shipments to Brazil to be temporarily suspended in recent days, and sparked fears of energy shortages. Fifty per cent of Brazil`s natural gas supply comes from Bolivia.Lobao spoke during a visit to the construction site of Angra 3, Brazil`s third Nuclear Power plant, in Rio de Janeiro. The plant is expected to start functioning within five years.The other two Brazilian Nuclear Power Plants, Angra 1 and Angra 2, have an installed capacity of about 2,000 megawatts.Each new plant will have a capacity of 1,000 megawatts, according to Lobao. He said four have already received initial approval. ...

Energy independence is a vital cornerstone of a nation’s economic security. So, when Brazil’s Mines and Energy Minister Edison Lobao said recently that Brazil aspires to build an additional 50 to 60 Nuclear Power Plants in the next fifty years, it should not raise any flags or be cause for concern, right? Possibly. Non-proliferation is not an issue [...] ... Source: ukrainianguide.com --- 11 days ago

MIT and Westinghouse have been working on increasing the Power of existing pressure water Nuclear reactors by 50%. A test reactor at MIT had successful tests. The technical and economic issues continue to be studied. This presents the economic and technical analysis that are being performed. In 2006, Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute started a project for development of PWR annular fuel. The ultra uprate makes economic sense where there is a lot of extra generator capacity at the plant and in the surrounding electrical grid. A half ultra uprate 25% makes economic sense in more places. 7-50% uprates can be performed depending upon the economics at each location and the capacity situation at each location. Use varying levels of ultra-uprate to max out the generator and other capacity. Plus other aspects of new plant construction or licensing could make ultra-uprates more attractive and incremental upgrade/replacement of fuel rods with annular cylinders should improve the economics. The cost evaluation indicates that the largest cost components are the replacement of Power (during the outage required for the uprate) and the new fuel loading. The preferred option for the BOP uprate (to build a new Turbine/Generator building for the added Power) has a large negative impact in the economic aspects of the uprate. In particular, the cost per installed kilowatt of the added components will be relatively large due to the relatively poo ...
