China has fired up its first nuclear power plant after the destructive 2011 Fukushima nuclear crisis, near Wafangdian in Liaoning province at its northeast portion. The $8.02 billion Hongyanhe nuclear power station started operations on Sunday following Beijing's approval in October 2012 of a nuclear power safety and a development schedule. The approval lifted a self-imposed two-year ban on existing and new nuclear projects following the crisis set off by the earthquake that crippled the Japan Fukushima Daiichi plant in 2011.

By Lisa Bland | Guest writer for Wake Up World It has been well over a year since March 11, 2011 when a 9.0 magnitude earthquake rocked the east coast of Japan, leaving in its wake unfathomable consequences for the Japanese people and many unanswered questions in Japan and the rest of the world regarding the safety of nuclear energy. While the issue has had relatively little coverage as of late, the Fukushima Daiichi accident is considered the worst industrial accident in history and recent reports in the media warn that the situation is far from under control. The staggering loss of over 15,000 lives and displacement of over 330,000 Japanese people because of the earthquake and tsunami, a series of nuclear meltdowns in reactors 1, 2, and 3, and radioactive re-leases at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, have plunged the country into radical changes, some of which may signify a turning point in embracing renewable energy technology and the phasing out of reliance on nuclear energy.

WHEN GREGORY B. JACZKO began his tenure as the chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in 2009, the agency was largely invisible to the public, for all the right reasons. Its professional staff was widely recognized as world-class, to the point that analysts held it up as a model for other government energy regulators to emulate, and it was quietly preparing to oversee the first expansion of this nation’s nuclear fleet in decades. Then came the drama. Mr. Jaczko helped President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry M. A fresh start for the NRC

The White House’s choice to replace him, Allison Macfarlane , has strong credentials as an expert on nuclear waste and weapons. She will need to be as independent and aggressive as Dr. Jaczko. Both industry and her fellow commissioners will have to be pushed to implement necessary improvements highlighted by the disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan.

The nuclear reactor is contained inside the cylindrical containment buildings to the right - left is a cooling tower venting water vapor from the non-radioactive side of the plant. A nuclear power plant ( NPP ) is a thermal power station in which the heat source is one or more nuclear reactors . As in a conventional thermal power station the heat is used to generate steam which drives a steam turbine connected to a generator which produces electricity . As of February 2nd, 2012, there were 439 nuclear power plants in operation through the world. [ 1 ] Nuclear power plants are usually considered to be base load stations, which are best suited to constant power output. Millstone Nuclear Power Plant

Iran nuclear talks primed for failure By Hooshang Amirahmadi and Shahir Shahid Saless Factional infighting is becoming more apparent in Tehran, with potential to block any agreement that could break the impasse as the international meeting over Iran's nuclear program approaches. Overconfidence within the Barack Obama administration - caused by repeated demands from high-ranking Iranian officials for the West to remove crippling sanctions - could also derail the planned May 23 talks in Baghdad. Indications of heightened rivalry within the Iranian ruling factions, represented by the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and President Mahmud Ahmadinejad, over the nuclear talks began with publication of a front page article in the Iran newspaper on May 2, entitled "Deceptive Operations".
