Letters show rift over San Onofre nuclear repairs
|
20.5.2013 |
LA Times: Science |
Letters show inability of Southern California Edison and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to agree on a long-range repair plan for the facility, off-line since January 2012.
In a flurry of letters late last year, Southern California Edison and the manufacturer that designed the steam generators at the now-dark San Onofre nuclear power plant appeared to be at odds over a long-term plan to repair the troubled facility. |

Correction: Nuclear Plant Shutdown-NC story
|
18.5.2013 |
Seattle Times: Nation & World |
| In a story May 16 about a shutdown at the Shearon Harris nuclear power plant, The Associated Press reported erroneously that the reactor vessel contains superheated steam. The vessel covers the nuclear core, which produces heat. The heat is converted to steam later in the process to produce electricity. |

Coalition still 'optimistic' about nuclear power despite EDF and China concerns
|
17.5.2013 |
Guardian: Environment |
| Building programme advancing, says minister as expectations of timetable delay at Hinkley Point grow and Chinese 'lose interest'
The government has insisted it was still optimistic about plans to build a series of nuclear power stations despite expectations that EDF would delay its timetable for a new reactor at Hinkley Point and concerns that China was losing interest in being a co-investor.
"The UK's new nuclear programme is advancing positively with three projects currently being taken forward by NNB GenCo [EDF], NuGen and Horizon Nuclear Power," said the energy minister, Michael Fallon, in response to a select committee report.
"We are confident that we will see investment in the context of the government's policy on no public subsidies for new nuclear."
He added that negotiations were continuing over a "strike price" – or guaranteed minimum price for electricity generated. EDF, which wants a 40-year guarantee, said it remained optimistic that it could tie up a deal with ministers ... |

Devastating water shortages are putting a brake on economic growth and stirring political discontent but Beijing's high-spending responses to the problem have triggered widespread criticism.
Wang Fuguo, a 63-year-old cotton farmer, does not know when his ancestors began tilling the land in the dusty village of Weijie.
But he is fairly sure he will be the last of his family to do so. "They've all fled," he says, looking out from his gate at the abandoned houses that line the village's only street.
The reason is simple. "There's just no water here," he says. "If you don't have water you can't survive." His household gets running water for one hour every five days, barely enough to feed a tiny patch of aubergines and supply his family and their dozen sheep.
In the face of China's rapid economic expansion and growing presence on the global stage, it is often forgotten that the ... |
