41. FRONTLINE: Nuclear Reaction: Why The French Like Nuclear Energy
    In France, unlike in America, nuclear energy is accepted, even popular. Claude Mandil, the general Director for energy and Raw Materials at the Ministry

    Extractions: Civaux in southwestern France is a stereotypical rural French village with a square, a church and a small school. On a typical day, Monsieur Rambault, the baker, is up before dawn turning out baguettes and croissants. Shortly after, teacher Rene Barc opens the small school. There is a blacksmith, a hairdresser, a post office, a general store and a couple of bars. But overlooking the picturesque hamlet are two giant cooling towers from a nuclear plant, still under construction, a half-mile away. When the Civaux nuclear power plant comes on line sometime in the next 12 months, France will have 56 working nuclear plants, generating 76% of her electricity. In France, unlike in America, nuclear energy is accepted, even popular. Everybody I spoke to in Civaux loves the fact their region was chosen. The nuclear plant has brought jobs and prosperity to the area. Nobody I spoke to, nobody , expressed any fear. From the village school teacher, Rene Barc, to the patron of the Cafe de Sport bar, Valerie Turbeau, any traces of doubt they might have had have faded as they have come to know plant workers, visited the reactor site and thought about the benefits of being part of France's nuclear energy effort. France's decision to launch a large nuclear program dates back to 1973 and the events in the Middle East that they refer to as the "oil shock." The quadrupling of the price of oil by OPEC nations was indeed a shock for France because at that time most of its electricity came from oil burning plants. France had and still has very few natural energy resources. It has no oil, no gas and her coal resources are very poor and virtually exhausted.

    Extractions: OECD Secretary General Says That Nuclear Energy is Critical to Development At a two-day conference in Paris on "Nuclear Power for the 21st Century" organised by the International Atomic Energy Agency and the OECD’s Nuclear Energy Agency, OECD Secretary General Donald J. Johnston told the audience that to ensure development and poverty reduction in non-OECD countries, “access to secure sources of energy will be essential and nuclear energy could be a critical element.” In an op-ed piece in the Herald Tribune which appeared in parallel to the conference Johnston wrote, “Despite its good safety record, nuclear energy today is the victim of fears promoted by its opponents. For it to occupy the place that it should and, judging by long-term forecasts of energy needs, in the global energy mix, governments need to turn the tide of public opinion.” BIAC joined government officials from approximately 60 countries who attended the meetings, which aimed at examining the future role of nuclear energy in meeting the energy needs of the world. During the two days of meetings, officials presented their views on the current and future role of nuclear power in the context of national energy strategies.

    Extractions: In this role play you should find out about both the pro and cons concerning the use of nuclear power. First, concentrate on the science of how a nuclear power plant operates to produce energy which is then converted to electricity. Secondly, investigate the safety features or lack of them which has lead to accidents at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl. Also consider the problem of radioactive waste disposal. Finally, give consideration to the possible use of new "second" generation nuclear power plants and the use of nuclear power as a possible partial solution to the global warming problem discussed earlier.

    Extractions: Nuclear energy is back in the public eye in light of the concerns about climate change and the need for a sustainable energy supply. Some powerful public voices are unconvinced about the technology’s competitiveness and safety. For Luis Echávarri, Director-General, OECD Nuclear Energy Agency, these doubts should be put to rest. INTERVIEW OECD Observer: What role can nuclear energy play in helping countries tackle global warming and in particular meet their commitments under the Kyoto Protocol? Luís Echávarri: Quite a significant role. The target of the Kyoto Protocol for Annex I countries – meaning developed and transition economies – to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 5.2% on average from their 1990 levels up to the period 2008-2012 is challenging and will be difficult to meet. Indeed, during the 1990s, global emissions of CO2 – the gas thought most responsible for climate change – increased by almost 9%, in spite of a decrease by some 32% in the economies in transition. If anything, today’s nuclear power plants help keep CO2 emissions down; if the 438 nuclear reactors in operation worldwide (most of them in OECD countries) were to be closed down and replaced by the current mix of state-of-the-art fossil-fuelled plants, world CO2 emissions would rise by some 6%.

    Extractions: published by WISE News Communique on October 6, 2000 From 18-22 September, the General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency was held in Vienna, Austria. On the last day, several resolutions were adopted, among which one that requests the IAEA to assist countries in realizing nuclear power "in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions". (535.5206) WISE Amsterdam - More precisely, the resolution "Strengthening of the cooperation of the agency's technical cooperation activities" calls for the IAEA to help member states to obtain access to information on the role of nuclear energy in climate protection, and to help member states to implement national case studies and prepare potential projects. The resolution is one of the steps taken by the IAEA to play a role in the international climate debate. At the sixth Conference of the Parties (COP6) in The Hague, Netherlands, 13-24 November, nuclear will be on the agenda in the discussion whether or not it can be considered as an eligible means to fight the greenhouse effect. The nuclear lobby is increasingly promoting the nuclear option, which could also be seen at the preparatory conference in Lyon, France, mid-September (see News Communique : "COP6 preparatory meeting").

Thirty years ago, Victoria was considering a shift to nuclear power, generated from this desolate spot on Port Phillip Bay. Cost killed the project. William Birnbauer and Marc Moncrief look at whether the reopened debate will end differently. There's an orange coastal marker just metres from the grey, choppy waves. Behind that is low green scrub, a soggy gravel track, and lower green scrub. The rest of this tiny, wind-swept point is even less appealing. This is Kirk Point, on Port Phillip Bay beyond the Werribee waste treatment complex. Unlikely as it seems today, in the 1970s this bleak and desolate spot was one of three preferred sites for a nuclear power station. The former State Electricity Commission, which conducted detailed seismic, atmospheric, environmental and geological studies, found the point "represents one of the most economically attractive nuclear power plant sites in Victoria".

    Extractions: 9 May 2005 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference Continues General Debate at UN Headquarters Parties Also Hold Intensive Consultations Aimed at Consensus on Substantive Agenda NEW YORK, 6 May (UN Headquarters) Despite intensive consultations, the 2005 Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), which has been meeting at Headquarters since 2 May, was unable as of today to reach consensus on the Conference’s agenda and will continue discussions on the matter. Conference President S©rgio de Queiroz Duarte (Brazil) appealed for a spirit of compromise to avoid further delay. Public opinion, he said, expected the parties to start dealing with the substantive questions at hand, and the Governments also expected a most serious conduct of the business before the Conference. Among the issues expected to be considered at great length are universality of the Treaty, nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament, safeguards, verification and compliance, nuclear-weapon-free zones, security assurances, peaceful uses of nuclear energy, and withdrawal from the NPT.

59. Theodore Taylor Dies; Tried To Redirect Nuclear Power - A Washington Post Obitua

    Extractions: "He was famous in the community of bomb experts as the most creative and imaginative of the designers," said Freeman Dyson, a physicist, author and retired Princeton University professor who was a friend of Dr. Taylor's. "His bomb designs were the smallest, the most elegant and the most efficient. He was able to draw his designs freehand, without elaborate calculations. When they were built and tested, they worked." At the time, Dr. Taylor believed his efforts were helping to prevent the world from erupting into a nuclear World War III, but he began to have deep misgivings about his life's work. He told his daughter that at the time she was born, in 1950, he was working at the Pentagon on plans to annihilate Moscow. The stark juxtaposition of those two experiences literally life and death compelled him to begin redirecting his scientific expertise.
