- @dean have you seen the roadmap update www.meti.go.jpby elainekirk 10/23/2011 9:34:03 PM
- Turkey currently has no nuclear power plants, but plans are in place to build two over the coming years. They will be the fourth and latest generation of nuclear reactors and will be expected to meet the highest safety standards.
The construction of Turkey's first nuclear power plant in the Mediterranean port of Mersin in the Akkuyu area is due to start later this year. The project is being led by the Russian nuclear company, Rosatom, and the contract was finalized in 2010.
But in the light of the nuclear crisis which followed the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the project has become extremely controversial, especially since the Akkuyu region is situated near the Ecemis seismic fault line.by dean 10/23/2011 9:34:37 PM - looking now @ elaine.. nice seeing youby dean 10/23/2011 9:34:51 PM

- According to the report, Turkey signed a deal worth $20 billion with Russia last May to build its first nuclear power plant in Akkuyu on Turkey’s pristine Mediterranean coast. The licensing process of the plant has already begun. Turkey is also holding talks with Japan on a second nuclear power plant in Sinop on the Black Sea coast. The Akkuyu site is to be built, owned and operated by Russia, and it will run four 1200 MWe VVER units.
Erdogen’s response to the risks posed by environmentalists: He said there was no investment without risk, noting that if people wanted a no-risk environment, they should “not build crude oil lines in their country and not use gas in their kitchens.”
World Nuclear News says: “The agreement also provides for Russia and Turkey to cooperate in other areas of the nuclear fuel cycle including the treatment of used nuclear fuel and radioactive waste, decommissioning and the possible construction of a Turkish nuclear fuel fabrication plant. However, such cooperation would be carried out under separate terms.”
It is reported that South Korea is involved in a bid to build four nuclear reactors on Turkey’s Black Sea coast at Sinop.by dean 10/23/2011 9:42:38 PM - @dean thanks, busy sewing halloween costumesby lillymunster 10/23/2011 9:43:26 PM
Forty years in the making: Turkey still intent on building the country’s first nuclear reactor on this serene spot on the Mediterranean Coast. Cyprus says the zone falls right on a fault line.

- @elaine that link you gave me for the road map shows nothing on fuel melt, corium or fuel debris that I could find... maybe they think it's so deep in the earth it's no problemby dean 10/23/2011 9:50:30 PM
- @dean yup and those instructions what do you make of those docs.google.comby elainekirk 10/23/2011 9:51:38 PM

plan to remove spent fuel as soon as promptly as possible".. (years)... with no mention of the driver fuel.; or that fuel in the reactorby dean 10/23/2011 9:57:13 PM - the fuel in a reactor core is called.. the "DRIVER FUEL"by dean 10/23/2011 9:57:34 PM

- sure is @ elaine..by dean 10/23/2011 10:03:25 PM
- Edano are you here?by dean 10/23/2011 10:03:30 PM
- time for dinner... will catch Edano later.. I wanted to ask him about the fact that I didn't do so well on the treadmill stress test so now I go to the nuclear medicine folks for a lexiscan-sestamibi stress test with scanning images of my heart... whewwwwwww.. WHAT NEXT... I need this prior to going ahead with my knee surgeries on 11-8...by dean 10/23/2011 10:06:57 PM

@dean, @edano, I was glad to find out that this procedure uses Tc-99m instead of thallium-201. I found this info blip cardiologyphysicians.org . Check under Nuclear Stress Tests. I must confess, I'd feel somewhat uncomfortable with the idea of a flush feeling: "Lexiscan is a vasodilator so you may feel warm, flushed, experience chest pressure, headache, dizziness, nausea or shortness of breath. These symptoms are perfectly normal,..." Yet another experience on which one might gladly pass up. But then the stuff works like caffeine. It must be like having two double espressos in a row, ;).by Peter 10/23/2011 11:35:25 PM- @Peter yes, "sestamibi" is tc99 with 7mSv exposure. for me, this nuclear stress test is very exotic. in germany, usually we prefer a coronar angiography. then you can see (and directly treat) everything. en.wikipedia.orgby Edano 10/23/2011 11:39:25 PM

- The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has fined GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy $45,000 for multiple security violations at a North Carolina facility using classified technology to test whether lasers can be used to enrich uranium. www.businessweek.comby elainekirk 10/23/2011 11:49:24 PM
I wonder what the level of classification of that technology is and what level of clearance the NRC has (probably not much). That sounds a bit weird.by Pedro Jesus 10/24/2011 12:48:09 AM- @Pedro Jesus check this nextbigfuture.comby lillymunster 10/24/2011 1:24:23 AM

- @lillymunster yep :) (half asleep though)by Edano 10/24/2011 2:02:37 AM
- LOL. I went to check reactor data (not the graph) and most have not updated since Oct 14. Did they stop providing?by lillymunster 10/24/2011 2:07:59 AM
- @lillymunster no. everything as usual. e.g. www.tepco.co.jpby Edano 10/24/2011 2:10:37 AM
