Generation IV Nuclear Reactors: The Next Frontier

The Generation IV reactors are still on the drawing boards. Six design selections were made in early 2005. The group is still growing. As we were going to press, the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM) formally joined the other ten members of GIF - short for Generation IV International Forum. EURATOM joined the current members: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, France, Japan, South Africa, Switzerland, United Kingdom and the United States. Russia is not part of GIF, but one of their reactor designs, a sodium-cooled fast reactor, is one of the six designs found in this section. India is not participating and is probably going to develop a way to use its abundant thorium reserves as a nuclear fuel. Also not a GIF member, China appears focused on the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor, which has some similarities to one of the six designs.

Laptop Battery These will be the "next frontier" of nuclear reactors, which may help solve more than just a growing and grave electricity problem. All are operated at higher temperatures than today's reactors. Four of the six reactor designs will also produce hydrogen. These designs also address the issues of recycling and waste disposal. Because of the "recycling" feature is questionable, at this point in time, we believe rising uranium prices and depleted inventories of uranium might make this feasible. Subsequently, there is likely to be a peak point during the course of this super bull market in uranium, when world governments collectively agree the once-through use of uranium is preposterous. At the time when uranium fuel is again reprocessed in the United States, utilizing the new nuclear reactor technologies, this will be the time when the current bull market would likely end. Our best guess is in the years approaching 2030.

According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

Thinkpad REVIEWING THE NEXT GENERATION

Southern California Edison said Tuesday it would abandon plans to ship a decommissioned nuclear reactor to South Carolina this year and leave it at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station for now. Edison spokesman Ray Golden cited "delays beyond our control" in the utility's decision to leave the reactor vessel entombed in steel and concrete at the beachside nuclear plant just south of the Orange County line. The delays made it impossible for Edison to meet a June 30 deadline for delivering the reactor for burial at a nuclear dump in Barnwell, S.C., Golden said.

Microsoft More than 100 top scientists and engineers from more than a dozen countries reviewed about 100 different nuclear energy design concepts to identify which would be the most effective nuclear reactor designs for deployment after 2030. Key issues such as safety, reprocessing and proliferation concerns, minimizing nuclear waste, hydrogen production and additional uses from nuclear energy were discussed and evaluated.

how to get rid of decommissioned nuclear reactors and the remains of America's aging nuclear plants. More than half the nation's 103 commercial reactors face mandatory shutdown in the next 30 years.

Laptop Computers The Generation IV Forum was spearheaded by the U.S. Department of Energy and gained traction since its inception. There is reason for concern. The United States and France account for about 45 percent of the world's nuclear power capacity. Five countries, when you include Japan, Germany and Russia, comprise about two-thirds of the world's nuclear energy capacity. The top ten countries, using nuclear energy, make up more than 80 percent of the world's nuclear energy capacity. About 80 percent of the world's countries have no civilian nuclear energy program. Clearly, there is plenty of room for growth in nuclear energy across the world.

Laptop Computer Generation IV reactors and other advanced reactor designs, such as the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor, may make it possible for the rapid public acceptance of nuclear energy. Safety and cost issues are being addressed.

The concrete and steel sarcophagus containing the damaged Chernobyl nuclear reactor in Ukraine is in danger of collapsing, Russia's atomic energy minister said today. "There may come a moment when the roof can no longer hold, " Alexander Rumyantsev said in Moscow. Chernobyl was the site of the world's worst nuclear accident when a reactor exploded on April 26, 1986, spewing radiation across a vast swath of Ukraine, - - and Western Europe.
