U.S. Energy Department Invests Small-Scale Nuclear Reactors

Yale Environment 360: Small, nearly meltdown-proof nuclear reactors are receiving a big boost from the U.S. Department of Energy. The department will give a company in Corvallis, Oregon, as much as $226 million to develop so-called "small modular reactors," which can be used with many local power grids that can't accommodate conventional nuclear reactors. Because of the extremely low likelihood of meltdown, the next-generation, small-scale reactors are safer than many currently operating reactors, engineers say. The company,...

Energy Department Report Faults Procedures at Hanford Nuclear Waste Site
2013-10-04 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: Bechtel, which is building a $12.2 billion waste-treatment plant at the federal government's decommissioned Hanford nuclear weapons site in Washington state, has been buying critically important parts without subjecting them to the required quality assurance regime, according to a new report by the Energy Department's inspector general. The department's inspector general, Gregory H. Friedman, said a sample of 235 design documents over a three-year period showed that Bechtel had failed to run more...
