What are your thoughts on converting coal plants to Nuclear Power?
by JamesReaFotos Question by Dr Jello – AGW RIP 1980-2010: What are your thoughts on converting coal plants to Nuclear Power? Coal and other fuels produce tonnes of co2 every year. Half of all co2 created in the US is from power generation from coal power plants. By replacing these coal plants with nuclear, green […]
Nuclear reaction: converting silicon into nitrogen?
Question by : Nuclear reaction: converting silicon into nitrogen? For the nuclear reaction known to public, it is either converting a light element (hydrogen) into heavier element (helium), or from a heavy element (uranium, plutonium) into lighter element. All these reactions are exothermic because the starting elements are converted with the release of energy while […]

Part 1 Thorium Energy Alliance technology talks presents Dr. Le Blanc speaking about the many design options for creating a liquid fuel reactor. His own patent pending long tube design, and He also reviews the cost benefits of each approach. Japanese artist Isao Hashimoto has created a beautiful, undeniably scary time-lapse map of the 2053 […]
UAE Peaceful Nuclear Energy Program
The UAE needs electricity to maintain its rapid economic growth. In 2008 the UAE Government conducted an extensive study into the nation’s growing energy demands and electricity generation capacity. The study found that by 2020, the UAE’s energy demand will rise to more than 40000 MegaWatts — a rate of 9% per year, which is […]

Xenon found in reactor 2 indicative of possible fission
Part 1 from www3.nhk.or.jp The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant has poured water containing boric acid into the No. 2 reactor. The move followed the detection of a radioactive substance, xenon, in the reactor’s containment vessel, indicating that nuclear fission may have resumed. Tokyo Electric Power Company poured boric acid solution into the […]
Arnie Gundersen Why the NRC Sucks p1/2
Fukushima and Its Impact Upon the Westinghouse-Toshiba Designed AP1000 Atomic Power Plant fairewinds.com Fairewinds was retained by the AP1000 Oversight Group to evaluate the AP1000 design for flaws that are now evident as a result of the nuclear accidents at Fukushima. The NRC’s refusal to thoroughly examine these flaws is reminiscent of the Atomic Energy […]
How often does a nuclear power plant get inspected?
by Michal Brcak Question by victorian95: How often does a nuclear power plant get inspected? How often does a nuclear power plant in Virginia get inspected? If a nuclear power plant was letting out too much radiation, would the plant be forced to close? Or would they just have to improve the plant? Can a […]
Gundersen Gives Testimony to NRC ACRS
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) held a special ACRS meeting Thursday May 26, 2011 on the current status of Fukushima. Arnie Gundersen was invited to speak for 5 minutes concerning the lessons learned from the Fukushima accident as it pertains to the 23 Mark 1 Boiling Water Reactors (BWR’s) […]
Q&A: Are there warnings for nuclear power plant leaks or meltdowns? What do you do if a warning is issued?
Question by : Are there warnings for nuclear power plant leaks or meltdowns? What do you do if a warning is issued? Do areas around nuclear power plants get some kind of warning if there is a leak or possibility of a meltdown? You know, kind of like when we get tornado warnings for tornadoes. […]

Atheists, can you answer these questions?
Question by Guy: Atheists, can you answer these questions? I can believe that the Universe could form without the help of a Supreme Intelligent Mind, I can also accept that the Universe could form by Big Bang. But it’s illogical to believe that heavy elements like Uranium, Plutonium, Thorium could form accidentally. They have too […]
