However it is nevertheless stupid verging on insanity. It's pure libel.EDF borrowed money to built it's reactor, and repaid them fully from the electric bill.
The cost for this NG backup would be the plants themselves and the gas pipeline if not already existing. Consulting Engineer and Project Manager....My first reaction to the aerial photos of Fukushima power plant site was: why did they put the auxiliary transformers, that provide power to the plant, and the emergency diesel-generators, that provide power to the auxiliary transformers, on the OCEAN side?
does it make any sense to do any renewables. Certainly the lifestyle we enjoy in the U.S. is desired by almost everyone on the planet and to some extent; cheap energy has allowed that to occur in many countries.
Unfortunately the way you have spammed your discouteous posts all over this thread made the rest of thread difficult to follow.The Energy Central Power Industry Network is based on one core idea - power industry professionals helping each other and advancing the industry by sharing and learning from each other.If you have an experience or insight to share or have learned something from a conference or seminar, your peers and colleagues on Energy Central want to hear about it. I would imagine a coal miners life expectancy is noticeably lower than the average. It's also easy to share a link to an article you've liked or an industry resource that you think would be helpful.I'm all for eliminating our coal generation ASAP and also limiting our NG generation at least long term.
does it make any sense to do any renewables. Careful cost estimates would need to be made for 1-5 and option 6.
Can we use existing transmission or do we need more because of size or location of new plants.4. Intelligent insights & conversations with global power industry professionalsThis group brings together the best thinkers on energy and climate.
There definitely are deaths but near 30,000 per year? The USS Reagan was part of the operation "Tomodachi" to deliver essential supplies to devastated communities in the wake of the Tsunami on March 11, 2011. 11 August;In this article, risks from different categories are identified and evaluated in the case of an APR1400 NPP project to be pursued in Saudi Arabia. Please show them your appreciation by leaving a comment, 'liking' this post, or following this Member.Can you do the same with cancer illness, respiratory illness ?
A study published in 2005 by the World Health Organization estimates that there may eventually be up to 4,000 additional cancer deaths related to the accident among those exposed to … Or would you just build capacity to match the peak load and shut down generation as load declines?so you both would start executions based on whatever parameters you deem as unworthy, Rather than replace fossil fuel powered electrical generating facilities!Thank you for having the courage to start a discussion about population growth. Compare above to other options the most likely being wind from the Dakotas,Nebraska, Kansas, Montana and Wyoming. Deaths/TWh/yr from coal, gas, oil, and nuclear-based generation are 24, 3, 19.2, and 0.052, respectively. NOTE: With no tsunami anywhere, Germany followed Japan’s lead, idled about 50% of its nuclear plants and fired up old coal plants and is building new ones to make up for the nuclear …
. The distance from a nuclear power plant also has a direct affect on things such as breast cancer. In 2012, it sent only 0.8 TW-h (of 67 TW-h) while receiving 13 TW-h. Germany's exports go to the Netherlands (34%), Austria (22%), and Switzerland (19%). Most are water cooled via river or ocean but also evaporative towers. USA generates near 2,000TWh from coal per year so that would mean 30,000 coal death in the USA per year. People were exposed to these levels for a few hours, or a few days, until being evacuated.
It is reasonable to assume this remained the same through 2012. 2. Join us for smart, insightful posts and conversations about where the energy industry is and where it is going.Willem Post, BSME'63 New Jersey Institute of Technology, MSME'66 Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, MBA'75, University of Connecticut.
This would be done over the next 2-3 decades as our existing coal plants are shut down due to age. Values are allocated based on comprehensive literature review and KEPCO’s NPP experience in UAE.Our mission at Energy Central is to help global power industry professionals work better. Germany doesn't have a direct connection to Norway, though there's one in the works.So how do you think the Chinese will do with nuke saftey?I'm French and I've seen the ecologist make that claim, but I can insure you there's absolutly no substance to it. If it had been blowing west instead of east, the sailors might not have been affected.Pallava Bagla. Think of a heavy smoker …but much worse and constantly “smoking” in the coal dust and volatile matter for a 12 hour shift. Any deaths due to future global warming, partially the result of the CO2 from fossil fuels, was not considered by these studies.The USA: 30,000 deaths/yr from coal pollution of 2,000 TWh/yr, or 15 deaths/yr/TWh, a ratio that will likely remain about the same over the years.China: 500,000 deaths/yr from coal pollution of 1,800 TWh/yr, or 278 deaths/yr/TWh, a ratio that will likely decline, as China implements safer mining practices and more efficient, cleaner-burning coal power plants over the years. The Fukushima exposures are below the levels that would cause adverse health effects, taking into account exposure from the atmosphere and ingestion from food. But Sellafield has been used by the military for many years, and was deeply contaminated.A real comparaison point is how much was spent to dismantle Maine Yankee which was a 900MW reactor exactly similar to the old ones EDF owns. The U.S. and many countries have realized that continued population growth is not only unwise but to the rest of society. There is no expected risk of cancer with exposures of 100 millisieverts or less.
