Nuclear Issues
Welcome to the Nuclear Power Section of the Agriculture Defense Coalition Website
If you click on the link below you will find videos and other information about the Japan Nuclear Crisis that occurred on March 11, 2011. Japan Disaster 2011
The Documents, Reports, Articles, Videos, and other information you will find on this Nuclear Section Relates to Vital Issues that may impact everyone in the United States. President Obama and U.S. Energy Secretary Chu have placed $34Billion in their new budget to fund a nuclear power revival in the United States. You will find a copy of this map with the proposed plants below. In addition, the money to fund this nuclear power revival will be funded by U.S. taxpayers.
U.S. Energy Secretary Chu made a deal to bring nuclear waste here from Italy and is working on agreements for other countries to ship their waste here for reprocessing in Idaho or Texas, and then, because it is still dangerous, to be stored in the U.S. at taxpayer expense. This information is located on the U.S. Energy Department website. The question is whether the U.S. should become a nuclear waste dump for other countries.
THE U.S. HAS BROUGHT OVER 5,000 LBS OF PLUTONIUM FROM CHILE & OTHER COUNTRIES INTO THE U.S. FOR PROCESSING & PERMANENT STORAGE (Where will this waste be safely processed and stored for generations? Will these materials be used to upgrade our own nuclear arsenal or will this material be used in our nuclear power plant revitalization or sold to other countries by the U.S. for their nuclear power plants or arsenals?)

General Nuclear Power Plant Information
It should be noted that Nuclear Power Plants in the United States have been leaking radioactive materials into the air and water for years. When the Japan Nuclear Disaster happened on March 11, 2011, positive radiation tests were reported from across the United States.
It should be noted that the radiation levels downwind and around nuclear power plants in the U.S. tested positive as well. It is alleged that many of these readings attributed to radiation from Japan may have been from our own leaking nuclear power plants. This issue should be investigated.

Nuclear Insurance: The Price-Anderson Act
Ralph Nader Testimony Before the U.S. House of Representatives - June 30, 1999 - On Corporate Welfare
The nuclear industry may be the most subsidized in U.S. history. It is completely a product of U.S. government research and development. Having emerged from massive government investments, the nuclear industry has never cut its umbilical cord tie to the government.47
One critical, ongoing support for the industry is the Price-Anderson Indemnity Act, which limits the liability of the nuclear industry (both plant operators, and suppliers and vendors) in the event of a major nuclear accident. Under Price-Anderson, each utility is required to maintain $200 million in liability insurance per reactor. If claims following an accident exceed that amount, all other nuclear operators are required to pay up to $83.9 million for each reactor they operate. Under the terms of Price-Anderson, neither the owner of a unit which has a major accident nor the entire utility can be held liable for more than these sums. As of August 1998, this system capped insurance coverage for any accident at $9.43 billion.48
When the Price-Anderson Act was adopted in 1957, at the dawn of the commercial nuclear industry, "the Act was intended to overcome reluctance to participate [in the transition to private nuclear industry] by the nascent industry worried by the possibility of catastrophic, uninsured claims resulting from a large nuclear accident."49 Leaving aside for the moment the ecological and economic risks which should disqualify continuation of, let alone support for, the nuclear industry, assume that such a rationale was defensible at the time, as the government tried to promote development of an energy source which many believed would be safe, cheap and abundant.
But watch how the rationalization perpetuates itself. "By 1965," the NRC reports, "when the first 10-year extension of the Act was being considered, a handful of nuclear power reactors was coming into operation, and the nuclear industry considered itself on the verge of expanding into large-scale nuclear power generation. Thus, the need for continued operation of the Price-Anderson system for the forthcoming 10 years was believed to be critical for the unrestricted development of nuclear power."50
A decade later, when another extension of the Act was being considered, the industry was more buoyantly optimistic than it ever had been or would be again. "With dozens of plants in operation or under construction and with hundreds more being contemplated to be in operation by the end of the century," the industry urged that the Act be extended rapidly so that "any uncertainty about extension would not disrupt nuclear power development,"51 says the NRC.
Now the industry is in decline. There have been no new orders for nuclear plants for the past 25 years, and aging plants are beginning to be shuttered. The original rationale for the Act is no longer plausible. But nothing has changed with respect to Price Anderson. Indeed, the NRC argues, "Given industry perception of the continuing need for Price-Anderson, and in view of the lack of new orders in plants, the situation is in some respects similar to what it was when Congress saw the need for enactment of the original Price-Anderson Act."52
(In one way, things are worse than they were in 1957: with nuclear plants closing due to aging, safety concerns, inefficiency and license expiration, the Price-Anderson liability cap will progressively decline in future years. If the upper end of nuclear plant closing projections occurs, available insurance funds could shrink to $4.5 billion in 2013.53)
The industry has gone through a full life cycle, but somehow it never outgrew the need for a federal insurance scheme and liability cap. The result has been a massive subsidy to nuclear power companies. Using the NRC's conservative numbers for the upper limit on a worst-case scenario accident and on the probability of such an accident occurring, Professors Jeffrey Dubin and Geoffrey Rothwell estimated the cumulative Price-Anderson subsidy to the nuclear industry through 1988 to be $111 billion in 1985 dollars.54 This estimate is based on NRC data on the cost of worst-case accidents -- data which is conservative because it does not include health effects.
If, again, we leave aside the demerits of nuclear power, there could be justification for a federal scheme to promote risk sharing in a context which poses a (hypothetically) very small chance of an extremely large loss. (It should be emphasized, however, that this is exactly the situation for which the private insurance and reinsurance markets are designed.) But there is no justification for combining such a scheme with an overall liability cap.
The $9.4 billion liability is nowhere near sufficient to pay for the human health and property damages that could result from a nuclear meltdown. Nuclear Regulatory Commission studies have estimated costs in a worst-case scenario at more than $300 billion for a single catastrophe.55
The nuclear industry's real insurance program is not the $9.4 billion scheme of Price-Anderson, but the free insurance provided by the public. In the event of a catastrophic accident, after the $9.4 billion was spent, it is the federal government that would inevitably cover the costs -- with some costs probably absorbed by victims who have their injuries compounded by inadequate compensation.
Price-Anderson is a textbook example of the hybrid insurance-liability cap program that should be prohibited per se.
"Many nuclear suppliers express the view that without Price-Anderson coverage, they would not participate in the nuclear industry," reports the NRC.56 If an industry which has benefited from massive government research and development and other subsidies for more than four decades, and which creates staggering, environmentally dangerous waste disposal problems and poses enormous risks to human health, cannot survive without government support, then it should not survive. The nuclear industry cannot meet the market insurance test and, with substitute energy sources available, it is not needed. The Price Anderson Act expires in 2002. If it is not repealed before then, it should not be renewed. If nuclear facilities close as a result, well, occasionally at least, corporate America should be subjected to its widely touted rigors of a free market.
47. In addition to the Price-Anderson Act discussed here, the industry benefits from government assistance in helping address its enormous waste problem, and utilities that own nuclear power plants are now seeking to unload the "stranded costs" of such facilities on unsuspected ratepayers as part of electricity deregulation. See Public Citizen's Critical Mass Energy Project, "Utility Deregulation: Why Should You Care?" available at http://www.citizen.org/cmep/restructuring/utility.htm
48. The Price-Anderson Act - Crossing the Bridge to the Next Century: A Report to Congress, Division of Reactor Program Management, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, October 1998, (NUREG/CR-661).
As originally passed, Price-Anderson maintained a limit on operator liability, but did not maintain the industry risk sharing scheme. Until 1975, the Act limited liability for any single nuclear incident to $560 million. The unit operator was responsible for $60 million, and the federal government was responsible for the next $500 million. Following amendments and revisions in the program, the federal indemnity role has effectively ended.

"HANFORD SITE, Wash. – Seven decades after scientists came here during World War II to create plutonium for the first atomic bomb, a new generation is struggling with an even more daunting task: cleaning up the radioactive mess. The U.S. government is building a treatment plant to stabilize and contain 56 million gallons of waste left from a half-century of nuclear weapons production. The radioactive sludge is so dangerous that a few hours of exposure could be fatal. A major leak could contaminate water supplies serving millions across the Northwest. The cleanup is the most complex and costly environmental restoration ever attempted. And the project is not going well..." USA Today by Peter Eisler - January 18, 2012

"...Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Chairman Gregory Jaczko testified before a Senate Committee today on nuclear safety reviews, two days after a House Committee investigated his management of the nuclear waste facility in Yucca Mountain.
In light of the nuclear crisis at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, the Senate Environmental and Public Works Committee held a hearing earlier on the agency's safety review procedure for U.S. nuclear power plants.At a recent Convention on Nuclear Safety, chairman Jaczko remarked “this review process provides us with an important venue to address the events in Japan and begin to formulate plans for short- and long-term cooperation,” he added that the report “continues to serve a critical purpose in generally advancing nuclear safety worldwide.”
Nearly three months since the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, the NRC continues to work on improving safety regulations for nuclear plants in the U.S. In mid-May, the NRC’s Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation made public inspection reports from U.S. nuclear power plants. NRC Chairman Jaczko testified alongside NRC Commissioners Kristine Svinicki, George Apostolakis, William Magwood and William Ostendorff. The hearing looks at Jaczko efforts to abandon the proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository, the subject of a report by NRC’s inspector general released last week..."
JAPAN NUCLEAR CRISIS & CHERNOBYL ANNIVERSARY
MARCH 25, 2011 C-SPAN
Nuclear specialists talked about the impact of the nuclear plant crisis in Japan as a result of the country's 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami. Alexey Yablokov, who studied the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, said the situation in Japan was particularly dangerous because of the highly concentrated populations near that country’s damaged nuclear plant. He also talked about a new study on Chernobyl. It suggested that as many as 1 million people had died because of the explosion at the Soviet-era plant 25 years ago.

Japanese artist Isao Hashimoto has created a beautiful, undeniably scary time-lapse map of the 2053 nuclear explosions which have taken place between 1945 and 1998, beginning with the Manhattan Project's "Trinity" test near Los Alamos and concluding with Pakistan's nuclear tests in May of 1998. This leaves out North Korea's two alleged nuclear tests in this past decade (the legitimacy of both of which is not 100% clear).
Each nation gets a blip and a flashing dot on the map whenever they detonate a nuclear weapon, with a running tally kept on the top and bottom bars of the screen. Hashimoto, who began the project in 2003, says that he created it with the goal of showing"the fear and folly of nuclear weapons." It starts really slow — if you want to see real action, skip ahead to 1962 or so — but the buildup becomes overwhelming.

What is a dam breaks upstream on the Missouri River or its Tributaries? This could turn into an inland Tsunami that could hit either Nuclear Power Plant. The water now flooding Fort Calhoun will last for a couple of months. This plant is still steaming and thus, there are pumps that are required to run for months and years to keep the nuclear core cool and the spent fuel rods cool. The pumps that failed were the ones providing water and power for keeping spent fuel rods cooled down. There are more than 20 years worth of nuclear fuel in the spent fuel pools.

Senate Hears Recommendations on Siting Nuclear Waste Facilities - Senate Environment & Public Works Subcmte. Witness Panel - Washington, DC - C-SPAN Video - Thursday, June 7, 2012 "...The Senate Environment and Public Works Subcommittee on Clean Air and Nuclear Safety held a hearing Thursday on "Recommendations For Siting of Nuclear Waste Storage Facilities" from the Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future. Senators heard from two panels, the first of which includes Blue Ribbon Commission co-chair Brent Scowcroft and Per F. Peterson, a member of the commission and chairman of the Department of Nuclear Engineering at the University of California at Berkeley, and whose research interests focus on problems in energy and environmental systems and high level nuclear waste processing.
A second panel featured stakeholders from government agencies and nuclear industries and research labs. The commission, which issued its final report in January, is advocating for a consent-based approach to siting nuclear waste storage and management facilities, which deal with the nation's high-level nuclear waste and spent nuclear fuel from power plants. The strategy outlined in the Commission report contains three crucial elements: a consent-based approach for siting nuclear waste facilities, a new organization to oversee nuclear waste, and a new structure for the Nuclear Waste Fund to ensure that fees paid into are used for waste disposal. The Commission was specifically not tasked with rendering any opinion on the suitability of Yucca Mountain, proposing any specific site for a waste management facility, or offering any opinion on the role of nuclear power in the nation’s energy supply mix...According to the report, the United States currently has more than 65,000 tons of spent nuclear fuel stored at about 75 operating and shutdown reactor sites around the country. More than 2,000 tons are being produced each year. The DOE also is storing an additional 2,500 tons of spent fuel and large volumes of high‐level nuclear waste, mostly from past weapons programs, at a handful of government‐owned sites..."
May 15, 2012 - San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant Problems - Video & Transcript: "...Arnie Gundersen, Chief Engineer of Fairewinds, demonstrates what has happened inside the replacement steam generators at the site of the San Onofre nuclear generating station in San Diego, California. Arnie shows that steam generator tube vibrations have caused extensive damage due to design changes between the original and replacement generator tubes.
Report
San Onofre’s Steam Generator Failures Could Have Been Prevented Video transcript
Arnie Gundersen: Hi, I am Arnie Gundersen from Fairewinds. Today, I am at the San Onofre nuclear plant that is in the background. San Onofre is presently shut down. It has steam generator leaks. I wanted to give this demonstration today to talk about what it is exactly that a steam generator does, and how they can leak.
This blue thing around me represents the key component inside the steam generator and it is called the tube sheet. It is 2 feet thick, solid steel, and 13 feet wide. So that is just about the shape and size of what I am standing inside of. Now this would be a solid piece of steel before it is fabricated; weighs about 100 tons, it is enormous.
First thing they do is they drill holes into this tube sheet. They drill 9,700 holes on this side and 9,700 holes on this side. What happens then is when they put the steam generator together, hot water comes from the nuclear reactor and that is symbolized by this orange pipe. So hot water would go through that. It is actually 32 inches in diameter and a quarter of a million gallons every minute comes in. It comes in the bottom and goes up through these tubes, crosses over, and comes down on this side. Now where I am standing is not the radioactive side. I am standing on the non-radioactive side. Radioactive water is inside these and hot steam and hot water is where I am standing. If you notice, these things are shaped like U's. That is why it is called a U-tube steam generator. The pipes come in, cross over, and come back in the shape of a U. We have modeled up 3 tubes here. In fact there would be 9,700 tubes on this side, and each one would cross over into 9,700 tubes on this side.
When San Onofre decided to rebuild their steam generators, they made a design change and I believe that it is that design change that is causing the tubes to fail inside. Right where I am standing, right in the middle of this tube sheet, down below was a massive pillar. It was called a stay cylinder. San Onofre decided to get rid of that massive pillar down below to cram more tubes into the steam generator. Instead of 9,300 they got 9,700 tubes. By removing the place right below me, more tubes meant they could get more heat out and more electricity out. But it also changed the flow inside the nuclear steam generator.
What is happening at San Onofre now is that these tubes are vibrating. They are colliding with the pieces of metal that are designed to keep them separated. The vibrating tubes are hitting each other and hitting the support place and in the process, it is denting the tubes. Some of the dents have gotten so bad that the pipe wall is completely worn away and the tube has to be plugged. We put these this far apart so we could show the U-tube shape of the tubes. In fact, they are incredibly close together and there is a quarter of a million gallons of water squirting between these tubes every minute: 9,700 tubes on this side, 9,700 tubes on the other side. And all of them have about a quarter of an inch of gap of water between them.
What has happened is that the tubes are vibrating and hitting each other. Where they are hitting each other, they are wearing thin. At San Onofre, the one that broke was because it was hitting another tube or it was hitting one of these tube support sheets. When that happens, not just one tube is damaged, but all the surrounding tubes are damaged as well.
Now the solution to this problem as far as San Onofre is concerned, is to plug these tubes. They would send people down below and put plugs in the bottom of these tubes. That would keep the radioactive water out of these tubes. But it does not stop the vibration, because on the side I am on, you have got non-radioactive water turning to non-radioactive steam up above. So this U-tube is actually much taller than I am. It would be up 20 feet and above me would be high pressure steam, but it would be non-radioactive. As long as these tubes do not leak, no radiation gets out. So the new steam generators with their crammed tubes, are banging into each other and banging into the supports. Again, there is all sorts of space in my design, but remember, there are 9,700 tubes inside those domes behind me in each of the steam generators. They are colliding with these plates and denting the tubes. The dented tubes are then leaking and the space that I am in, which would be non-radioactive, is becoming radioactive. That is what caused the unit to shut down in January. Radioactive steam from inside this pipe broke through and entered the non-radioactive side of the piping.
Now the problem at San Onofre was stopped because they shut down quickly. They were releasing a half a gallon a minute of radioactive steam. But inside this pipe, it is 2,200 pounds per square inch. Where I am standing it is 1,000 pounds per square inch. So there is a lot of pressure difference causing that steam to shoot out and in a very short time, if they do not shut down, that steam actually cuts these tubes and can cause a cascading problem, where one tube crashes into the next tube, crashes into the next tube. That is the most serious accident that could happen in the event of a tube failure at San Onofre. And it would require an evacuation of the people nearby. It would also challenge the emergency core cooling system. Because the emergency core cooling system has to make up for the water that is leaving the nuclear reactor and entering the non-radioactive areas.
So the solution at San Onofre is not to plug the tubes. Plugging the tubes stops the leaks, but it does not stop the vibration. The solution at San Onofre is to go back to the old design, to put that stay cylinder back in place so the vibration goes away and at that point they will have steam generators that last and are safe for the people that live near this plant.
Thank you.
(End of San Onofre Demostration Video)
Arnie Gundersen: The original steam generators at San Onofre were built by a company called Combustion Engineering. And they lasted 28 years before they were replaced. The new steam generators at San Onofre were built by Mitsubishi and they lasted 10 months. The good question to ask is, why? Fairewinds has been able to determine that the Mitsubishi design is entirely different than what the original design should have been in the Combustion concept.
Specifically, the tubes that go up and down are separated in the Combustion design by something called egg crates. On the Mitsubishi design, they are separated by something called broached tube support plates. We have a report on the website today that explains this in detail. But basically, what the Mitsubishi design has done is prevent the water from reaching the top of the steam generator. It is sort of like being strangled at the top and only steam is getting up there. In this environment, it causes the tubes to rattle. Not just a little bit, but so much so that they collide with each other.
All of this could have been avoided if Southern California Edison had made the decision to license these steam generators with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. If they had done that, the analysis would clearly have shown that the Mitsubishi computer codes were not designed for the kind of steam generator that was built at San Onofre.
So the lesson here is that Southern California Edison attempted to do what they called a like-for-like replacement of the steam generator. But the new generators were nothing like the original steam generators. Thank you for listening and we will keep you informed..." http://fairewinds.org/content/san-onofre-bad-vibrations
