Extractions: Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Located in Lusby, Md., Unit 1 of the 1,700 MW Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Plant began generating electricity in 1975 and Unit 2 joined the system in 1977. Since then, Calvert Cliffs has continually set records for power production and worker safety. In March 2000, Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant opened a new chapter in nuclear power history by becoming the first plant in the United States to earn 20-year extensions of its operating licenses from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. License renewal extends the original 40-year operating lives of Calvert Cliffs two nuclear reactors from 2014 to 2034 (Unit 1) and from 2016 to 2036 (Unit 2). In 2002 and 2003, Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant replaced the steam generators in Units 1 and 2 respectively and with Unit 2 set world records in duration and weld quality for this type of replacement. These replacements, as well as other major upgrades, will help the plant continue to safely generate clean electricity for many years to come. Key Facts Location: Lusby, MD

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/basic-ref/students.html

Extractions: Nuclear energy is a way of creating heat through the fission process of atoms. All power plants convert heat into electricity using steam. At nuclear power plants, the heat to make the steam is created when atoms split apart called fission. (Other types of power plants burn coal or oil for heat to make steam.) The fission process takes place when atoms are split into small pieces by neutrons hitting each other. These smaller pieces hit other atoms. This releases energy in the form of heat. When this process continues, it is called a chain reaction. In a nuclear power plant, uranium is the material used in the fission process. The heat from fission boils water and creates steam to turn a turbine. As the turbine spins, the generator turns and its magnetic field produces electricity. The electricity can then be carried to your home, so you can work on the computer, watch television, play video games, or make toast! When uranium a nuclear material is used as fuel in a nuclear power plant, the fission process creates heat, which boils water, creating steam. The steam turns a turbine that is connected to a generator.
Citizen Alert
The NWCC unites 18 different groups working on various aspects of the nuclear waste problem. Our broad coalition includes antinuclear power groups, nuclear reactor communities, peace activists, nuclear weapons opponents, groups from contaminated DOE facilities, residents of sites targeted for nuclear waste dumps, and national environmental groups.

Tsunamis Iraq Terrorism U.S. Gas Prices Nuclear Power (c) FreeFoto.com Nuclear power plants are very clean and efficient to operate. However, nuclear power plants have some major environmental risks. Nuclear power plants produce radioactive gases. These gases are to be contained in the operation of the plant. If these gases are released into the air, major health risks can occur. Nuclear plants use uranium as a fuel to produce power. The mining and handling of uranium is very risky and radiation leaks can occur. The third concern of nuclear power is the permanent storage of spent radioactive fuel. This fuel is toxic for centuries, handling and disposal is an ongoing environmental issue. In The United States there are 110 commercial reactors in 32 states. Six of these states rely on nuclear power for more than 50 percent of their energy.Worldwide, 434 reactors generate electricity in 33 countries. Nuclear Fission An atom's nucleus can be split apart. When this is done, a tremendous amount of energy is released. The energy is both heat and light energy. This energy, when let out slowly, can be harnessed to generate electricity. When it is let out all at once, it makes a tremendous explosion in an atomic bomb. The word fission means to split apart.
Progress & Nuclear Power: The Destruction Of The Continent And Its Peoples
The truth and the history behind the Three Mile Island accident at Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania from an anarchist perspective Fredy Perlman.
http://www.eco-action.org/dt/progress.html

Extractions: The Destruction of the Continent and Its Peoples By Fredy Perlman The Following text first appeared in a special anti-nuclear issue of Fifth Estate magazine on April 8, 1979. It was written earlier in that year just after an accident at Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in eastern Pennsylvania. As news of the accident spread, official messages insisted, "There is no need to overreact, the situation is stable, the leaders have everything under control," but eventually people living near the plant had to be evacuated. Here Fredy reminds us how the original inhabitants of this region were duped and destroyed by the platitudes, promises and police that always accompany Capital. The premeditated poisoning of human beings, of soils and of other living species can only by the grossest hypocrisy be considered an "accident". Only the wilfully blind can claim that this consequence of Technical Progress was "unforeseen". The poisoning and removal of this continent's living inhabitants for the sake of "higher entities" may have begun in Eastern Pennsylvania, but not during the past few weeks. Eleven score years ago, in the region currently being poisoned by radiation from Three Mile Island, speculators with names like Franklin, Morris, Washington and Hale hid their names behind facades such as the Vandalia Company and the Ohio Company. These companies had one purpose: to sell land for a profit. The individuals behind the companies had one aim: to remove all obstacles which stood in the way of the free deployment of profit-making, whether the obstacles were human beings or millennial cultures or forests or animals or even streams and mountains. Their aim was to Civilise this continent, to introduce to it a cycle of activities never before practised here: Working, Saving, Investing, Selling - the cycle of reproducing and enlarging Capital.

Extractions: The NRC is an independent agency established by the U.S. Congress under the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 to regulate commercial nuclear power reactors and nonpower research, test, and training reactors; fuel cycle facilities and medical, academic, and industrial uses of nuclear materials; the transport, storage, and disposal of nuclear materials and waste. Public Citizen's Guide to NRC Covers information that the agency makes available. Further general information about the NRC is contained in the sites for Mission and Organization and History The Headquarters Public Document Room (PDR) serves as a bridge between the agency and the public, providing on site and remote access to a comprehensive collection of unrestricted NRC documents in paper, microfiche, or electronic format, as well as documents from the civilian regulatory activities of the former Atomic Energy Commission.
