China to build 60 nuclear power plants in upcoming 10 years
Posted by Karen Hurst in category: nuclear energy
China plans to build more than 60 nuclear power plants over the next 10 years.
The country’s three major nuclear companies — State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation (SNPTC), China National Nuclear Corporation, and China General Nuclear Power Corporation will each build at least two nuclear power plants annually.
SNPTC vice president Zheng Guangming made the announcement at the World Nuclear Association Symposium in London.

Indian Delegation to Visit Russia For Leasing Yasen Class Submarine
Posted by Karen Hurst in category: nuclear energy
One of the world’s deadliest nuclear powered attack submarines, the Yasen-class’s inclusion will add deeper strategic depth to Indian Navy’s Blue Water Naval ambitions.
India is interested in renting the multi-purpose Project 885 Yasen class submarine from Russia. This is being seen as a sign of another forthcoming India-Russia collaborative venture for the construction of six new SSN for Indian Navy.
NEW DLEHI — A high-level Indian delegation will be visiting Russia shortly to finalize an agreement on renting the Yasen class submarine for the Indian Navy.

OMEGA Laser Could Produce Nuclear Fusion at 5 Times Current Levels
Posted by Shailesh Prasad in category: nuclear energy
Researchers from the University of Rochester have detailed conditions where the National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore can create five times more nuclear fusion yield than the current records.
Nuclear fusion is one of the Holy Grails of energy research. However, developments in this particular field have been more like baby steps rather than great strides.
But now, one study is significantly accelerating our (unfortunately) small steps towards nuclear fusion. Researchers working on the OMEGA laser at the Rochester University’s Laboratory of Laser Energetics (LLE) have found optimal conditions that could produce a fusion yield that’s five times higher than the current record.

Russia and iran nuclear power plant partnership.
TEHRAN, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) — Iran and Russia have agreed to build two nuclear power plants in Iran’s southern city of Bushehr shortly, Press TV reported on Thursday.
“Operations to build two new nuclear power plants in Bushehr will start on Sept. 10,” Press TV quoted Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), as saying.

The ‘star in a jar’ that could provide limitless energy on Earth: US Government reveals experiments to create compact fusion plants
Posted by Carse Peel in categories: government, nuclear energy, physics
It would provide humankind with near limitless energy, ending dependence on fossil fuels for generating electricity.
US Government physicists have backed plans to create ‘a star in a jar’ — replicating on Earth the way the sun and stars create energy through fusion.

Regenerative Medicine: Plasma Being Used To Improve Bone Healing
Posted by Shailesh Prasad in categories: biotech/medical, food, nuclear energy, space travel, weapons
Scientists have just found a way to make use of plasma, the fourth state of matter, to improve bone development. Using cold fusion, researchers were able to initiate increased bone growth.
It is a bit ironic that plasma is the least known state of matter, when in fact it is the most abundant in the universe. It is found in our Sun and all other stars, lightning, in our TVs, fluorescent light, and neon signs, and (purportedly) even in our favorite fictional weapon in the Star Wars universe, the lightsaber.
Plasma can be classified according to the degree of ionization, temperature, etc, but whatever form it may take, plasma has been used in various fields, such as in spacecraft propulsion, agriculture, and quite recently, in medicine.

Meet the Reactors Accelerating Us Toward Fusion Energy
Posted by Klaus Baldauf in categories: humor, nuclear energy, particle physics
The old joke about fusion is that it is 30 years from becoming a reality — and that’s been the case for the last 50 years or more. It’s a joke that may quickly be reaching its sell-by date.
And a good thing too. The promise of fusion is near-unlimited energy that produces almost no waste.
