Nuclear Power's Second Coming Will Lead to a Uranium Boom [view article]
In response to "LiquidSoapDispen... July 10th entry. Your friend who is the inspector must realize that if there are problems, and they hidden, or not made known to be fixed, the NRC, and or DOE will shut that plant down in a heartbeat. I find it hard to believe that people working for Nuclear plants do not have the fortitude to come forward and speak out about any problem. After 30 years of working for and within a sodium cooled nuclear experimental reactor, the safety was par none. I've never worked in the commercial world, however from everything I've read, and heard they are just as safe. You mention sub-standard parts. Yes, that is a problem, but only if you do not have a good Quality Assurance process, and in order to get a licence to operate a nuclear facility, you have to prove that you have all the necessary conduct of operations in place to operate the facility which includes a good Quality Assurance program. There are teams of people who's main job is to inspect, and audit all the main and sub main functions of a reactor, and their job is to help avoid problems at nuclear reactors and when anything out of specification or compliance, or any problem is found even if it is suspicious in nature those areas or systems are sublect to shutdown and the problem is fixed. If your friend is true to his job as an inspector then he should be reporting these problems. There are whistleblower laws in place to protect him.

The comment about depleting uranium in 50 to 75 years may be true, however with Sodium Cooled reactors (which have gone away thanks to Jimmy Carter) this problem is solved, because the fuel that is used can also be converted for fuel for Light Water reactors. Yes, there is the Radioactive issue, but as with any enrergy source there is always something, someone won't like,,,,, believe me, the procedures in place for safe nuclear are beyond your comprehension,,, ReplyNuclear Power's Second Coming Will Lead to a Uranium Boom [view article]
I Agree with DanDamanCheck out Thorium Power THPW , Addresses Many of the bad Facts re uranium for power . when this goes bigtime , OOOwheee ! Reply
Nuclear Power's Second Coming Will Lead to a Uranium Boom [view article]
Uranium is one of the most common elements on earth, so the mineable reserves only on the spot price of uranium e.g. price goes up and the uranium mining projects will start popping up everywhere where they get the permit to mine.Production costs vary from mine to mine but when I used to work for McArthur River Mine the production costs were around $7/lb but I estimate that the costs have doubled since then.

I STILL BELIEVE THAT NUCLEAR ENERGY IS STILL NOT A VIABLE SOURCE OF ENERGY FOR ANY COUNTRY.THERE ARE OTHER ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES THAT ARE MUCH SAFER AND LESS POLLUTING THAN NUCLEAR WASTE, TO WIT SOLAR, GEOTHERMAL, HYDRO, CLT, NANO MIXED WITHANY OF THE ALTERNATIVES.

Look at the deposit grades (%U3O8). Cameco has the grade to support their costs. At current market prices, who else does? These companies need to be disclosing what their production costs are before I would invest a single dime. ReplyNuclear Power's Second Coming Will Lead to a Uranium Boom [view article]
Uranium mills are not very useful if you have no feed for them. Take a look at the mine's reserve grades (%U3O8), mining costs ($/ton & $/lb) and distance to the nearest processing facility. Only the higher grade deposits (>1% U3O8) are viable unless the current spot price doubles. The lower grade deposits will have to wait until these richer deposits play out. Currently, most uranium producers do not want to disclose their costs, and for good reason! Do you homework before investing.

for you & your children & grandchildren & into the future would you rather spend more for energy & be relatively safe or less & take a chance on a major catastrophy? dont forget greed & the bottomline plus coverup are part of our system.why do we need a law to protect whistleblowers? Replyspenser
Nuclear Power's Second Coming Will Lead to a Uranium Boom [view article]
Firs of all, I'm not saying I'm anit-nuke, but as someone who had a friend who was an inspector at at a nuclear power plant, let's just say things go bad a lot more often then is made public. All the motivation is to hide minor accidents, near catastrophes, etc.. The main problem, according to my friend, was using substandard replacement parts due to greed (kickbacks, etc.), and this is why problems often occurred, and where I fear might continue to occur in the future (even the best designed plants won't function right if someone decides to save a few bucks and use a few substandard parts).For the time being, plants in the U.S. are currently storing their spent rods in cooling pools within the nuclear facilities. These pools were never designed to store so many rods, meaning the pools need to be actively cooled with fervor in order to prevent a meltdown. This is just the cooling pools, not the reactor themselves! Something goes wrong just with the active cooling, and we have a problem (even after the plants no longer produce electricity). Can anyone really say if storing the radioactive waste in mines is going to harm all living things in the future? Are the risks worth taking? I just want people to be aware that nuclear has more risks than people seem to be aware of. Perhaps it is still the right way to go, but no one can make a good decision without knowing as much info as possible. Reply

i remember visiting fluidyne engineering in minneapolis about 1956 - they were very big on pebble beds. without a complete fuel cycle in place the HTGR remains an interesting research concept.> jack Reply

Take the dangers of meltdown, proliferation and disposal of spent nuclear fuel out of nuclear and what do you get?... pebble bed reactors. "Walk away" safe (as in if everything goes wrong you can walk away, grab a pizza, and come back and deal with it at your leisure... they don't have hot cores that need to be cooled constantly), can be built for a fraction of the cost of current nuke designs, low-grade fuel is easily recycled. A few have been built and proven as prototypes (Germany, S. Africa) and have won the approval of some prominent environmentalists. I am not a proponent of nukes as we know them (prohibitively risky, even if the risks are very minute), but if you can take the downside out of nukes, all you have left is power.Upgrade our electrical grid's infrastructure and security, put some pebble beds on line, and let's start plugging in our EV cars. Here is a link to learn more about pebble bed reactors... it's a new way of looking at nukes.

"Does anyone have a good read on the amount of Uranium stockpiles? Is it even possible to estimate? The author says 10 years to deplete current stock piles but I think that is a baseless guess."
The answer to this question is that the 10 year estimate is what is given by the Energy Watch Group assuming a constant demand of 67kt/year with new production filling only approx. 42 kt/year.
