Noen nye notater for april lagt til 11.04.2023 :
Jeg anbefaler her BBC som en start : https://www.bbc.com/news/topics/cmj34zmwm52t
Noe av det jeg vil velge : Litt farlig : Energy giant EDF has announced plans to extend the lives of two of the UK’s five remaining nuclear power stations. Heysham 1 and Hartlepool had been due to close in March next year, but they will now be kept open until early 2026. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-64906179
A decision to grant government planning approval for a new nuclear reactor in Suffolk has been given despite ongoing objections from anti-nuclear and environmental groups. What are the arguments for and against Sizewell C? https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-suffolk-62035444
BBC, sitat : The planned plant is expected to cost about £20bn – slightly less than the plant currently under construction at Hinkley Point, in Somerset, because Sizewell C will be a near-identical replica which saves on costs.
Min mening : Hinkley Point C blir sikkert flott og bra på mange måter og et solid atomkraftverk, men det ser ut til å koste veldig mye penger, og det ser ut til at de tekniske løsningene er veldig dyre løsninger. Kanskje nødvendig på det stedet i UK ? Merkelig med noe slikt her i NoregNorge.
Det mest interessanne med Hinkley Point C er hva strømprisen blir på strøm fra atomkraftverket. Bare selve kjølesystemet blir veldig dyrt. Å leie inn to jack up rigger koster nok litt det også.
UK kan bruke minst 2 år på vurderinger av mindre atomreaktorer og godkjennelse-proesser.
Meget dyrt kjølesystem : The EDF-led Hinkley Point C project in Somerset is moving ahead with the offshore works heading into its final stages with the arrival of two jack-up vessels to the site.

The nuclear power station that has generated more electricity than any other has been switched off. Hinkley Point B in Somerset has been making power since 1976 and currently contributes about 3% of the UK’s total power needs. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-somerset-62339183
Min mening : Det er bra at slike UK-atomkraftverk stenges nå. Jeg er for bedre teknikk og for andre løsninger. Det er bra at UK satser på andre løsninger nå. Plasseringen av nye atomreaktorer i UK er likevel tvilsom.
The number of formal reports documenting security issues at the UK’s civil nuclear facilities has hit its highest level in at least 12 years amid a decline in inspections, the Guardian can reveal. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/may/26/security-warnings-at-uk-nuclear-energy-facilities-hit-12-year-high

Min mening : Alle atomkraftverk i Europa bør plasseres i større avstand til havet og strendene på grunn av muligheter for store bølger eller tsunamier. At faren er liten, betyr ikke at faren er null. I 1755 ble Lisboa rasert av bølger forårsaket av et undersjøisk jordskjelv.

The new model, known as RAB (Regulated Asset Base), has already been used to finance some large infrastructure projects, including the £4.2bn Thames Tideway “super-sewer”. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-59051025
in 2020, the Public Accounts Committee called the UK’s approach to decommissioning its first-generation nuclear power plants a “sorry saga”. The UK Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) – which is responsible for this – says it could cost £132bn, and take 120 years. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-59212992
What is the government currently doing to support nuclear power? The strategy will see a significant acceleration of nuclear, with an ambition of up to 24GW by 2050 to come from this safe, clean, and reliable source of power. This would represent up to around 25% of our projected electricity demand. Subject to technology readiness from industry, Small Modular Reactors will form a key part of the nuclear project pipeline. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/nuclear-energy-what-you-need-to-know

14.06.2019 : UK har voksende problemer med gamle atomreaktorer og med selve konstruksjonen og med svekkelse av sikkerheten og med sprekker i deler. Det er ikke noe nytt, men det nye er spørsmålet om hvor fort sprekkene vokser og øker i antall og hva som da vil skje. Et kraftig jordskjelv er en mulighet selv om faren er relativt liten. Jeg viser her til at farene ved jordskjelv ble undervurdert i Japan og at det var en stor feil der. Så blir spørsmålet hva som vil skje med atomreaktorer i UK hvis et kraftig jordskjelv kommer og om det kan bli Tsjernobyl 2 på grunn av selve konstruksjonene?

Hunterston B was originally planned to operate until 2011. In 2007 planned operation was extended by 5 years to 2016
In early 2018 a slightly higher rate of new keyway root cracks than modelled was observed in Reactor 3 during a scheduled outage, and EDF announced in May 2018 “While Hunterston B Reactor 3 could return to operation from the current outage, it will remain offline while the company works with the regulator to ensure that the longer term safety case reflects the findings of the recent inspections and includes the results obtained from other analysis and modelling

Såkalt reprosessering og mye transport av brukt atombrensel vil alltid være farlig. Det var ikke snakk om å stanse alle atomkraftverk i UK, men det var snakk om å gå bort fra reprosessering.
Hvor lenge linkene vil fungere vet jeg ikke.
Nei, jeg tror ikke at Sellafield er løsningen og svaret på hvordan menneskene kan og bør utnytte atomenergi på en god og trygg og fredelig måte. Og jeg tror at det er feil å selge norsk strøm til UK slik situasjonen er nå.
En million mennesker som protesterte med postkort er ikke lite. Atomanlegget i Sellafield er et farlig monsteratomanlegg og så skummelt at også folk i UK misliker risikoen der og folk i Irland er fortsatt redde og var det lenge.

“Sellafield is a national disgrace. Sellafield is where we house the toxic legacy of our failed nuclear industry,” said Paul Dorfman
UK bør rydde opp på Sellafield og etter arven fra den kalde krigen før de får kjøpe strøm fra Norge. Flytende atomavfall er alt for risikabelt: Sitat: De omkring tusen kubikkmetrene med høyradioaktivt, flytende avfall er i dag fordelt på 21 lagringstanker, og ved en lekkasje fra en av dem kan mye havne i her hos oss. Sitat slutt. Sitat fra Bellona, og jeg er ikke medlem, og jeg er ikke enig i de konklusjonene Bellona ofte kommer fram til. Ellers er det helt feil av Bellona å motarbeide debatt og åpenhet, og det ser veldig rart ut med Disqus-systemet der hos Bellona og ingen debatt av betydning på nettstedet. Jeg vet ikke om Bellona har sitatet ute på nett nå.

Sitat: Dirty Thirty The European Commission has thus sued Great Britain in the European Court of Justice. There are expected to be about 1.3 tons of plutonium, 400kg of which are in mud sediments. Radiation around the pool can get so high that a person is not allowed to stay more than 2 minutes, seriously affecting decommissioning. The pool is not watertight, time and weather have created cracks in the concrete, letting contaminated water leak. The pool is 20m wide, 150m long and 6m deep. Birds land on its surface and take small amounts of radioactive substances with them. Sitat slutt. Det kan selvfølgelig bli endringer på Wiki.
Hvorfor planlegge å eksportere billig norsk strøm til UK så lenge politikerne i UK utsetter Norge og norsk landbruk og norsk fiske og norsk oppdrettnæring for en helt uakseptabel risiko med mye flytende atomavfall i Sellafield? Hva er svarene fra statsministeren og energiministeren? Finnes det norsk presse som gidder å stille vanskelige spørsmål?
Noen mener at det er galskap å stoppe reprosesseringen i Sellafield. La de mene det, for de er redd arbeidsledighet. Sitater: The GMB union is urging the UK government to follow the lead set by China and expand nuclear reprocessing, potentially creating employment at Sellafield. More than 2,000 jobs at Sellafield depend on reprocessing spent nuclear fuel. But the site’s Magnox reprocessing plant is due to close in 2016 and the more modern Thorp facility by 2020. Sitat slutt. Fram mot 2020 er det viktig at norske politikere presser på for å få stengt monsteranlegget Sellafield. Plasseringen og aktiviteten i Sellafield er for farlig og truer norske interesser. Her er det viktigere å tenke på norske interesser mer enn på hva som er nyttig i Kina.
Ved havet kan flodbølger komme og ramme det som er på land. Relativt uventet vulkansk aktivitet og jordskjelv på havbunnen kan føre til flodbølger. Jeg kan heller ikke utelukke en atomeksplosjon under vann ved en ulykke eller ved at skip eller undervannsbåter kolliderer eller noe lignende, og da kan det bli en stor bølge. Masser som raser ut under havoverflaten kan også skape bølger. Bilder av atomkraftverk i UK viser ofte atomkraftverk helt nede på stranden. Det er risikabelt. Store bølger kan også komme der i UK.

Sitat fra Huffington Post ; John O’Connell, The technology to be used is unproven and projects using the same reactor are years behind schedule and massively over Budget.

Nyere atomkraftverk bør planlegges for minst 80 års driftstid.
Dungeness :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeness_Nuclear_Power_Station
During construction, many problems were encountered in scaling up the WAGR design. Problems with the construction of the pressure vessel liner had distorted it such that the boilers, which were to fit in an annular space between the reactor and the pressure vessel, could not be installed, and the liner had to be partially dismantled and re-built.
In March 2009 Unit B21 was brought down for maintenance; serious problems were found and the reactor was shut down for almost 18 months.
The government did not include Dungeness C in its draft National Policy Statement published on 9 November 2009, citing environmental reasons and concerns about coastal erosion and associated flood risk.
Litt fra Bellona: Link : http://www.nettavisen.no/nyheter/–kan-bli-verre-enn-tsjernobyl/3423259240.html
Kort sitat fra pressen : Tilstanden ved Sellafield er verre enn vi tidligere har fryktet, sier daglig leder Nils Bøhmer i Bellona.
Det er bra at Bellona advarer her og kommer med forslag. Mitt forslag til Bellona er at Bellona åpner opp for ekte debatt om atomenergi på eget nettsted og med Disqus og slik får mange flere lesere og mye mer oppmerksomhet. Da må det bli helt ekte åpenhet og ekte debatt der. Jeg testet noen ganger i år, og min positive tilbakemelding til Bellona gikk inn til vurdering i mange uker. Jeg vet ikke om det ble slettet til slutt eller ikke. Det svekker tilliten til Bellona hvis de opptrer som sensurister og er mot ytringsfrihet.
Jeg ønsker at Bellona advarer mot farer og feil selv om jeg kan ha en del andre konklusjoner enn Bellona i flere sammenhenger. Og jeg ønsker at norske politikere protesterer på det aller sterkeste med alle former for protest når det gjelder feil og farer i atomindustrien i UK. Steng for all eksport av elektrisk strøm til UK straks så lenge feil og farer fortsetter i UK.
Debatt betyr plass til ulike vurderinger og ulike meninger.
