United States, the nuclear industry numerous rejections



August 28, 2009 Times are tough for lobbyists to the nuclear industry in the United States. An independent agency of information about nuclear, NIRS (Nuclear Information and Resource Service) revealed yesterday that in 2009 the nuclear industry has rebuffed its requests in each of six U.S. states with to lift the moratoria on building new nuclear reactors. These moratoria will therefore remain in force in those states are Kentucky, Minnesota, Hawaii, Illinois, West Virginia and Wisconsin. Note that Illinois is the U.S. state with the most nuclear facilities now, with eleven stations.

Since the rejection by the Obama administration's Yucca Mountain in Nevada for burial of radioactive waste and the astronomical cost overruns on construction of new plants, the so-called nuclear renaissance is more like a business to save furniture.

The nuclear industry has also failed in his attempt to recognize nuclear as a renewable energy by the states of Indiana and Arizona. In addition, she had to abandon one of its projects to abolish a California law prohibiting the construction of new reactors as a burial site for radioactive waste is not in operation.

Jennifer Nordstrom, coordinator of the Carbon-Free, Nuclear-Free Institute for Energy and Environmental Research of Wisconsin said: "Tell construction of nuclear plants to combat climate change is tantamount to telling a patient to smoke to lose weight. "According to Ms. Nordstrom, alternative technologies do exist to allow to withdraw completely nuclear and fossil fuels by 2050.

Currently, nuclear power is considered too risky by investors, so the only way to continue to build reactors, is whether the financial risk is borne by taxpayers. This is called a CWIP (Construction Work in Progress). In the state of Missouri, this request was refused CWIP. In 2009, ten applications to ease the legislation in favor of nuclear power, only one was accepted. Georgia, by this measure of CWIP, taxpayers will have to pay two billion dollars even before a single watt of energy is produced by the two reactors are proposed.
