This year a new BN-800 breeder reactor will become operable at the Beloyarskaya plant. The service life of the BN-800 breeder reactor is expected to be 45 years. Every month it will produce 475 million kilowatt hours of electricity, enough to ensure constant supply to 3.15 million families (the average monthly consumption of a family of three is 150 kilowatt hours). The BN-800 uses liquid metal sodium (Na) as a coolant heat transfer agent. Commercial operation of the new reactor is planned to start in early 2015. 
Construction of the BN-800 breeder reactor. Photo from sdelanounas.ru Russian physicists have already elaborated the next step for the revolutionary technology: a BN-1200 breeder reactor that is set to be assembled at the same Beloyarskaya nuclear power plant by 2020. Overall, eight BN-1200 breeder reactors are expected to be constructed by 2030, which means that Russia is the only nation that is entering a new era of nuclear energy power generation &ndash the closed nuclear fuel cycle, in other words truly clean and practically unlimited nuclear power generation. teeth53 thot - Let see n wait for Russian using their unclear waste into clean energy and how safe is it?. |

Energy from here to eternity - Humankind has already produced so much nuclear waste that it would take decades, if not hundreds of years to process and recycle it. As of now, the only light at the end of the tunnel is fast-neutron reactor technology. The fast-neutron nuclear? &ndash or breeder - reactors use technology that enables the use of a wider range of radioactive elements as fuel, thus considerably enlarging the potential stock of nuclear fuel for electric power generation. Russia is the only country that operates fast neutron reactors industrially. After decades of research, practically all breeder reactor projects around the world, including in the US, France, Japan and several other countries possessing nuclear energy technologies, were closed down. The only country that currently has operating breeder reactor power generation is Russia. Over the last 50 years the USSR, then Russia, introduced a number of industrial and research fast neutron reactors. One of them, the BN-600 (600 megawatt), running at the Beloyarskaya nuclear power plant since 1980, is the only fast neutron reactor in the world that generates electricity on an industrial scale. The BN-600 is also the most powerful operable fast neutron reactor in the world. The Beloyarskaya nuclear power plant is in Zarechny, some 45 kilometers from the regional center of Yekaterinburg, in the Urals region. |

No nuclear waste: Fuel of future produced at Russia' s high-tech underground plant http://rt.com/news/188332-mox-nuclear-fuel-production/ September 17, 2014 - Russia&rsquo s &lsquo Breakthrough&rsquo energy project enables closed a nuclear fuel cycle and a future without radioactive waste. First batch, MOX nuclear fuel has been manufactured for world&rsquo s only NPP industrially power generating breeder reactors. The first ten kilograms of the mixed-oxide fuel (MOX) - a mixture of plutonium and uranium dioxides (UO2 and PuO2), have been industrially produced by Russia&rsquo s nuclear monopoly, Rosatom, at the Mining & Chemical Combine (GKhK) in the Krasnoyarsk region. A world first, tablets of the fuel of the future have been put on serial production and are destined for Russia&rsquo s next generation BN-800 breeder reactor (880 megawatts), currently undergoing tests at the Beloyarskaya nuclear power plant. The production line, now undergoing start-up and adjustment, was assembled in a mine 200 meters underground and will become fully operational by the end of 2014. |

Late Fukushima manager flagged &lsquo density danger&rsquo risks plaguing Japan' s big nuclear plants Recently disclosed documents show the late manager of Japan' s destroyed Fukushima plant warned of safety risks in restarting nuclear power stations in the seismic-prone country, which is considering rebooting full-scale nuclear energy production. http://rt.com/news/187128-nuclear-japan-reactors-safety/ Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant was completely shut down for 21 months following an earthquake in 2007. The transcript released by the government is part of a government investigation into the causes of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Since the 2011 incident, Japan has shut down all of its nuclear facilities. But on Wed, Japan' s Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) approved the restart of two reactors of a nuclear power station at Sedai after plant met safety requirements needed. It' s seen as first step to reopening an industry of 48 reactors. Under Japanese safety regulations, reactors after 40 years are to be decommissioned, unless they receive a 20-year extension. Reuters estimates that as many as two-thirds of Japan' s 48 idled nuclear units may never restart again. Prior to March 2011, Japan generated 30 percent of its electrical power from nuclear reactors. |

6.2 quake strikes central IndonesiaA magnitude 6.2 earthquake has hit central Indonesia, in the Molucca Sea, between Sulawesi and Maluku chain of islands, according to the USGS. It was felt in major cities of Manado and Gorontalo in northern Sulawesi, with residents reporting shakes and light tremors. &ldquo People in Manado felt the quake and ran from their homes.&rdquo The Indonesian govt ruled out possibility of a tsunami. There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties after the quake, but the country is no stranger to natural disasters of the sort. It sits on the Pacific&rsquo s &lsquo Ring of Fire&rsquo , where continental plates collide, leading to quakes and volcanic eruptions. |

A tsunami of over 20 meters could hit town on Sea of Japan coast. Town like Setana in Hokkaido faces the biggest potential tsunami hitting coastal areas on the Sea of Japan at 23.4 meters high, according to the panel, which studied heights of possible tsunamis covering 16 prefectures from Hokkaido in the north to Nagasaki in the southwest. The largest possible tsunami to hit flat land areas would be 12.4 meters high, town like Okushiri in Hokkaido, according to the study. First study on tsunami, Sea of Japan coast will be used by prefectural govts for estimating inundation and designating warning zones. The govt is expected to ask municipal govts to bolster safety measures as faults in Sea of Japan tend to be close to land areas, possibly causing relatively high tsunamis to hit the coast quickly. As for 11 nuclear power stations on the coast, a 5.8-meter tsunami could reach an area near Hokkaido Electric Power Co.' s Tomari nuclear power plant while a 3.8-meter tsunami could hit an area near Hokuriku Electric Power Co.' s Shiga nuclear plant in central Japan, the panel said. The study showed relatively higher tsunamis could be observed in northern parts of the coastline compared with other parts and some areas could be hit by a first tsunami wave about a minute after an earthquake. Study selected 60 faults on seabed where an earthquake with magnitude of 7 to 8 could be triggered. It was compiled after legislation was established to strengthen measures against tsunamis following the 2011 earthquake and tsunamis that devastated northeastern Japan. A govt panel on large-scale earthquakes said. |

Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center (Norway), Massive nuclear leakage into  ocean from Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant was observed on March 25th,2011. Leaked radioactive pollutant from the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant was simulate, assuming constant and continuous leakage for 20 days (scenario 1) and for one year (scenario 2) starting from March 25th, 2011 and was integrated for 20 years&hellip There is no remarkable difference of transport pathways&hellip for the nuclear waste. The results of the ensembles indicate that the nuclear pollutant for both scenarios transports eastward to eastern Pacific. It takes about 10 to 15 years to reach the coast of East Asia&hellip a realistic source  function is required and atmospheric fallout and role of ocean ecology should also be taken into account, in order to get a more reliable assessment of possible impact of the radioactive leakage on the ocean environment.
Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center, Prof. Ola Johannessen, University of Bergen Geophysical Institute: Ocean spreading of radioactivity from the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan [...] The results show that the maximum concentration propagates eastward in the Pacific toward the United States during a 7-year period while the total concentration drops to 1-2% of the source concentration (100%) after 5 years. 
Nansen-Zhu International Research Centre, China: Extraordinary earthquake hit Japan and led the nuclear leakage of Japanese Fukushima reactor to the ocean. Dr. Yongqi Gao with colleagues at NERSC and NZC used the numerical model to simulate the propagation of radioactive elements in the ocean. Model system has been used for EU RADARC (Simulation scenarios for potential radioactive spreading in the 21st century from rivers and external sources in the Russian Arctic coastal zone, 2001-2003) and Norwegian Research Council supported project ARC (Arctic Radioactive Contamination, 2004-2006)&hellip results were also cited by the State Council of China. |

https://ph.news.yahoo.com/japan-resume-fukushima-rice-exports-071819465--finance.html Japan to resume Fukushima rice exports - " Despite our efforts at explaining the safety of Fukushima-made farm products, up until now we have not been able to find retailers who wished to trade rice grown in Fukushima." " From now on, we aim to export more Fukushima rice, including to Singapore. " Rice grown in Fukushima prefecture -- which hosts the battered Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant -- has been sold abroad since fiscal 2012 when the region exported 17 tonnes (2,420 pounds) to Hong Kong. Said an official for Zen-Noh. Fukushima accepts ' temporary' radioactive waste storage Fukushima workers to sue TEPCO for danger pay - Workers employed in decommissioning crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant are to sue Tokyo Electric Power and some subcontractors, demanding millions of yen in unpaid danger money. Of four men, two are still working at Fukushima plant, will demand companies pay a total of 65 mil yen ($620,000), mostly in hazard allowances. Workers, ages range from their 30s to 60s, they say not been properly compensated for risks in their work, including removing contaminated debris n patrolling. |

Fukushima nuclear meltdown worse than initially reported &ndash TEPCO Tags - Earthquake, Ecology, Health, Japan, Nuclear, Tsunami Estimates released by Oshima & Yokemoto are twice as high as those from national authorities, who estimated them at 5.8 trillion yen in 2011. The professors included some expenses that, according to the government were hard to estimate. " The costs for the accident are designed to be borne by the people through taxes and utility bills," Oshima said. The researchers figure (11.08 trillion yen) does not include costs for final disposal of radioactive substances, compensation and plant decommissioning. 
Workers prepare frozen pipes during operations to construct an underground ice wall at Tokyo Electric Power Co.' s (Tepco) Tsunami-crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Fukushima Prefecture July 9, 2014. (Reuters/Kimimasa Mayama) There will be also extra 5 trillion yen ($48 billion) for the decontamination of the crippled Fukushima plant, which is twice as much as initial estimates. " Nuclear plant operators would become less able to make a right business judgment under the situation where the state covers costs of accidents, as they cannot recognize risks of nuclear power generation," said Oshima. TEPCO has been struggling with the consequences of the post-earthquake and tsunami nuclear leak for three years now, without notable success and with much blame directed at it for the mishandling of the crisis. |
