Control The Nuclear Power Plant (Demonstration) by Henrik Eriksson The control-room operators of the Kärnobyl nuclear power plant are telecommuting and are running the plant through the Web. However, the mean time between failure for the components of Kärnobyl is not great. Try to keep the reactor stable when component failures occur! (Click here for instructions.) Note: You need a Java-compatible browser, such as (or later) and Microsoft Internet Explorer 2.0 here to get a picture of what you are missing. Brief Instructions Use sequence buttons 1-3 to run a failure-simulation sequence. The randomize button starts a random failure sequence. When a simulation sequence is running, you can control the state of valves and pumps by clicking on them. The moderator rods in the reactor can be moved by mouse dragging them.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT NUCLEAR ENERGY by John McCarthy This page discusses nuclear energy as a part of a more general discussion of why human material progress is sustainable and should be sustained. Energy is just one of the questions considered. Up to: Main page on why progress is sustainable Incidentally, I'm Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University, emeritus (means retired) as of 2001 January 1. Here's my main page . I write about sustainability as a volunteer public service. I am not professionally involved with nuclear energy. Here's a new page on Nuclear Energy Now . It is motivated by the Bush Administration in the U.S. having tentatively re-opened the question of building new nuclear plants in the U.S. I hope they persist and are successful. One of the major requirements for sustaining human progress is an adequate source of energy. The current largest sources of energy are the combustion of coal, oil and natural gas. These are discussed in the main page on energy . They will last quite a while but will probably run out or become harmful in tens to hundreds of years. Solar energy will also work but is not much developed yet except for special applications because of its high cost. This high cost as a main source, e.g. for central station electricity, is likely to continue, and nuclear energy is likely to remain cheaper. Q. What are the details on nuclear energy?

10. History Of Nuclear Power Plant Safety A time line covering the period from the 1940s to the present day and detailing the development of safety features, practices and systems in nuclear power plants. Includes bibliographic references. http://users.owt.com/smsrpm/nksafe/

S afety has been an important consideration from the very beginning of the development of nuclear reactors. On December 2, 1942, when the first atomic reactor was brought to criticality, Enrico Fermi had already made safety an important part of the experiment. In addition to a shutoff rod, other emergency procedures for shutting down the pile were prepared in advance. Fermi also considered the safety aspects of reactor operation. Shortly before the reactor was expected to reach criticality, Fermi noted the mounting tension of the crew. To make sure that the operation was carried out in a calm and considered manner, he directed that the experiment be shut down and that all adjourn for lunch. With such leadership in safety at the very beginning, it is no wonder that the operation of reactors to date has such an impressive track record. The series of WWW pages given here are intended to present a chronology of nuclear safety research and development. Above is a clickable map of a timeline beginning with Fermi's Chicago Pile experiment until today and "beyond." Much of the context does not have the glamour of high profile nuclear industry stories such as the accidents at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl. Instead, the history gives insight into the culture of the scientists, engineers, and technocrats faced with the challenges of a totally new and powerful technology. In the early years, these pioneers wandered into a brave new world of first-of-a-kind research and development. Today, nuclear industry participants must deal with the ramifications of the discussions and actions made by those pioneers.

15. The Economics Of Nuclear Power The Economics of nuclear power. Briefing Paper 8 March 2004. These costs, while usually external for other technologies, are internal for nuclear power. http://www.uic.com.au/nip08.htm

The Economics of Nuclear Power Briefing Paper 8 March 2004 Nuclear power is cost competitive with other forms of electricity generation, except where there is direct access to low-cost fossil fuels. Decreasing fossil fuel costs in the 1990s eroded nuclear energy's previous cost advantage in many OECD countries, but higher gas prices are now changing the picture again. Fuel costs for nuclear plants are a minor proportion of total generating costs and often about one-third those for coal-fired plants. In assessing the cost competitiveness of nuclear energy, decommissioning and waste disposal costs are taken into account. The relative costs of generating electricity from coal, gas and nuclear plants vary considerably depending on location. Coal is, and will probably remain, economically attractive in countries such as China, the USA and Australia with abundant and accessible domestic coal resources as long a carbon emissions are cost-free. Gas is also competitive for base-load power in many places, particularly using combined-cycle plants, though rising gas prices have removed much of the advantage. Nuclear energy is, in many places, competitive with fossil fuel for electricity generation, despite relatively high capital costs and the need to internalise all waste disposal and decommissioning costs. If the social, health and environmental costs of fossil fuels are also taken into account, nuclear is outstanding.

The Quick Virtual Nuclear Power Plant Tour Welcome to the Visitor Center Hi! This site is an off-shoot from my original The Virtual Nuclear Tourist! Nuclear Power Plants Around the World site because I found that folks having an interest in nuclear energy have very specific questions. Thus this site attempts to answer the following: Why is nuclear power used? How does nuclear power compare to other ways of generating electricity? Can I see pictorial comparisons What types are plants are used in the United States? There are 2 - Boiling Water Reactor and Pressurized Water Reactor Where are nuclear power plants located in the United States? How is nuclear power regulated? What types of nuclear waste are generated? There are 2 categories - Low Level Waste and High Level Waste . Pages with more on Low Level Waste and Spent Fuel and High Level Waste What are the environmental effects of nuclear power? What about radiation safety What's inside those buildings at nuclear plants? Can I see pictures? Each page has pictures. The index to the 500+ pictures on the site remains to be built.

20. Nuclear Power Nears Peak: Worldwatch Institute Press Release The Worldwatch Institute projects that global nuclear capacity will begin a sustained decline by 2002 at the latest. (Worldwatch News) http://www.worldwatch.org/alerts/990304.html

Contact Us Sign up for free PDFs and e-mail updates: E-Mail this page Press Releases March 04, 1999 Nuclear Power Nears Peak FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 5, 1999 NUCLEAR POWER NEARS PEAK As the 20th Anniversary of Three Mile Island Approaches, the Nuclear Industry Faces Slow Slide to Oblivion Christopher Flavin and Nicholas Lenssen Two decades after the world's first major nuclear accident at Three Mile Island, the nuclear industry is experiencing a meltdown of historic proportions. After growing more than 700 percent in the 1970s, and 140 percent in the 1980s, nuclear generating capacity has increased less than 5 percent during the 1990s so far. (See Figure 1.) In the last decade, nuclear power has gone from being the world's fastest growing energy source to its slowest, trailing well behind oil and even coal. In 1998, world nuclear generating capacity fell by 175 megawatts. As the world approaches the 20th anniversary of the Three Mile Island accident on March 28, global nuclear capacity stands at 343,086 megawatts, providing just under 17 percent of the world's electricity. Both of these figures will likely turn out to be close to the all-time historical peak-and less than one-tenth the 4,500,000 megawatts that the International Atomic Energy Agency predicted back in 1974. The Worldwatch Institute projects that global nuclear capacity will begin a sustained decline by 2002 at the latest, and the U.S. Department of Energy projects that it will fall by half in the next two decades.
