Atomic Safety Board delays Seabrook Nuclear Plant decision

Global Nuclear News Oil and Gas 360 Publishers Note: A balanced energy generation plan is critical for the United States. This includes nuclear, fossil, and renewable. We must remain energy independent and reliable nuclear power has to play a component in the energy plan. The per/watt price to the consumer will be too high if only new renewable projects are

Bad news’: radiation spikes 16 times above normal after forest fire near Chernobyl

The Guardian Oil & Gas Publishers Note: While Chernobyl is the world’s worst nuclear disaster, it is unfair to blow off the entire nuclear power generation programs. There has to be a balance between nuclear, renewable, and fossil fuels. The right balance in the energy mix can be done with  ecology considerations, while reducing cost to the consumer.   The

Once fuel assemblies are loaded into the reactor, Nawah will begin the start-up sequence for testing - oilandgas360

UAE nuclear power plant’s first reactor ready for operation

The Arab Weekly Once fuel assemblies are loaded into the reactor, Nawah will begin the start-up sequence for testing. Barakah will be the United Arab Emirates’ first nuclear plant and the world’s largest when completed, with four reactors and 5,600 megawatts of electrical generation capacity. It is being built by Korea Electric Power Corporation. Oil and Gas Publishers Note: The

EIA’s Annual Energy Outlook 2020 projects consumption growing more slowly than production

EIA The AEO2020 Reference case projects domestic energy demand to grow 0.3% per year on average through 2050, slower than the average annual growth of 1.9% in U.S. gross domestic product. This projection is largely driven by continued increases in energy efficiency in the end-use sectors The AEO2020 Reference case, which serves as a baseline for exploring the effects of

A Moving Target: Nuclear Security During Transport

IAEA Nuclear and other radioactive material is hardest to protect when it is transported from point A to point B — more than half of the incidents of theft of radioactive material reported to the IAEA between 1993 and 2019 occurred while it was in transport. How to further strengthen nuclear security during transport is one of the topics that will

EIA World net electricity by fuel, IEO 2019 Reference case - oilandgas360

EIA projects less than a quarter of the world’s electricity generated from coal by 2050

EIA By 2050, coal-fired generation comprises only 5% of the region’s generation mix. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) International Energy Outlook 2019 (IEO2019), global electric power generation from renewable sources will increase more than 20% throughout the projection period (2018–2050), providing almost half of the world’s electricity generation in 2050. In that same period, global coal-fired generation will decrease

New electric generating capacity in 2020 will come primarily from wind and solar - fig 3 -oilandgas360

New electric generating capacity in 2020 will come primarily from wind and solar

EIA EIA expects 42 gigawatts (GW) of new capacity additions to start commercial operation in 2020. Solar and wind represent almost 32 GW, or 76%, of these additions. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) latest inventory of electric generators, EIA expects 42 gigawatts (GW) of new capacity additions to start commercial operation in 2020. Solar and wind represent almost

Japan LNG Buyers Talk Tough as Spot Prices Drop to 3-Year Lows

From Reuters An inexorable decline in spot market prices for liquefied natural gas (LNG) is pushing utilities in Japan to be more aggressive in price reviews built into traditional long-term contracts linked to oil prices, lawyers and analysts said. The utilities are also looking to buy more LNG on the spot market, where prices LNG-AS are plumbing three-year lows and
