Fuel for deep space exploration running on empty -
11 minutes ago
By SETH BORENSTEIN
AP Science Writer
(AP:WASHINGTON)
NASA is running out of nuclear fuel needed for its deep space exploration.
The end of the Cold War's nuclear weapons buildup means that the U.S. space agency does not have enough plutonium for future faraway space probes _ except for a few missions already scheduled _ according to a new study released Thursday by the National Academy of Sciences.
Deep space probes beyond Jupiter can't use solar power because they're too far from the sun. So they rely on a certain type of plutonium, plutonium-238. It powers these spacecraft with the heat of its natural decay. But plutonium-238 isn't found in nature; it's a byproduct of nuclear weaponry.
The United States stopped making it about 20 years ago and NASA has been relying on the Russians. But now the Russian supply is running dry because they stopped making it, too.
The Department of Energy announced on Thursday that it will restart its program to make plutonium-238. Spokeswoman Jen Stutsman said the agency has proposed $30 million in next year's budget for preliminary design and engineering. The National Academy's study shows why it is needed, she said.
"If you don't have this material, we're just not going to do" deep space missions, said Johns Hopkins University senior scientist Ralph McNutt, who has had experiments aboard several of NASA's deep space missions.
So far only NASA undertakes these missions, so the shortage limits the world's look at deep space, added Doug Allen, a satellite power expert and member of the National Academy's study panel.
By law, only the Department of Energy can make the plutonium. Last year then-NASA administrator Michael Griffin wrote to then-Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman saying the agency needed more plutonium.
The National Academy report says it would cost the Energy Department at least $150 million to resume making it for the 11 pounds a year that NASA needs for its space probes.
Without that material "a lot of things will be shut down and they will stay shut down for a long time," McNutt said.
Upcoming NASA missions using plutonium include the overbudget and delayed Mars Science Laboratory, set to launch in 2011, and a mission to tour the solar system's outer planets scheduled for launch in 2020.
The last two missions to use plutonium were the New Horizons probe headed for Pluto and the Cassini space probe that is circling Saturn. Plutonium-powered probes last a long time. The twin Voyager spacecraft headed beyond our solar system and launched in 1977 are expected to keep working until about 2020, McNutt said.
Solar power is preferable to plutonium because it is cheaper and has fewer safety concerns, McNutt and Allen said. But solar power just doesn't work in the darkest areas of space, including deep craters of the moon.
Some have protested past nuclear-powered missions, such as Cassini, worrying about potential accidents.
Iran's first nuclear fuel production plant opened -
this minute
(RTTNews) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Thursday inaugurated country's first nuclear fuel production plant, marking a major breakthrough in Tehran's controversial nuclear program.
Speaking at a ceremony held in connection with national nuclear day at the nuclear installations in the central province of Isfahan, Ahmadinejad announced that Iran had tested two new types of centrifuge with higher capacities at a uranium enrichment plant in Natanz.
He later inspected the Natanz plant, where the number of the operating centrifuges has been increased from 6,000 to 7,000, as claimed by Iran's nuclear chief Gholam Reza Aghazadeh.
Aghazadeh, who also spoke at Isfahan, said Iran has reached a "new phase generation of acquiring the technology of uranium enrichment."
The Isfahan fuel plant is said to have the capacity to produce sufficient plutonium for two nuclear weapons a year.
Iran, which denies accusations that it is seeking to develop nuclear weapons, insists that uranium enrichment is meant for peaceful purposes.
Wednesday, Ahmadinejad said his country is not aiming to produce nuclear bomb.

Minn. Senate gives initial OK to new nuke plants -
3 minutes ago
By ELIZABETH DUNBAR
Associated Press Writer
(AP:ST. PAUL, Minn.) Things weren't looking good last week for future nuclear power plants in Minnesota, but all that changed as the Senate voted overwhelmingly to lift the state's current ban on new facilities.
The measure passed Thursday on a 42-24 vote and was tacked on to an energy policy omnibus bill that received preliminary approval. In introducing the amendment, Sen. Steve Dille highlighted the reason some states are showing a newfound interest in nuclear: Plants can produce energy without significant carbon dioxide emissions.
"This is one of the options we need to have on the table in order to meet our energy needs for the future in a cost effective way and also to take into consideration the climate change issues we are facing," said Dille, R-Dassel.
Efforts to lift the ban have come up many times before, but this is the first time in recent years the legislation has gotten a full hearing.
Last Wednesday, the Senate and House energy committees held a joint meeting to listen to more than three hours of expert testimony. The next day, the House energy committee listened to another three hours of testimony from environmentalists, the nuclear energy industry and those who live near Minnesota's existing nuclear plants near Monticello and Red Wing.
The committee rejected the measure on concerns about Minnesota deviating from its renewable energy goals and getting itself into a bind when it comes to storing nuclear waste. Both arguments came up again as senators debated lifting the ban.
Sen. Ellen Anderson, a Democrat from St. Paul, said there's still no good solution for what to do with nuclear waste, so Minnesota should focus on renewable energy.
"We've put ourselves on a good path in this state to find homegrown sources of energy," she said. "I think we need to stay on that path and not get distracted by the nuclear one."
But later, Anderson, who heads the Senate energy finance committee, acknowledged there's been a shift in the debate since 15 years ago when the current ban passed. "It's interesting how things have changed around here," she said. "At that time we weren't thinking so much about global warming."
The issue will likely come up in conference committee, but it also could be introduced as an amendment on the House floor.
Sen. Amy Koch, R-Buffalo, who said lifting the moratorium was one of her main goals for the legislative session, has high hopes that the House and Senate will come to an agreement and send the legislation to Gov. Tim Pawlenty.
Nearly all Republican members of the Senate voted to lift the ban with support from 22 Democrats, and a spokesman says Pawlenty also supports the proposal.
"I think the people of Minnesota have been speaking," Koch said. "It wasn't just a little win, it was 42 to 24."

Uranium producer closes Utah mine, opens another -
Tuesday November 25, 2:53 pm ET
By Paul Foy, AP Business Writer
Toronto-based Denison Mines Corp. shutters Utah uranium mine, but opens a better one
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Toronto-based Denison Mines Corp. shut down the Tony M mine in southern Utah on Tuesday due to slumping uranium prices, but is opening another Utah mine that has higher grades of uranium.
Company President Ron Hochstein said the Beaver Shaft mine in San Juan County also has deposits of vanadium, which is used in steel alloys, and yields better uranium ore than the Tony M mine in Garfield County.
The decision to close the Tony M mine was made because of market conditions, he said.
Uranium yellowcake hit a high of $136 a pound last year, then plunged to $44 a few weeks ago and has since rebounded to about $55 a pound, he said.
Hochstein said that over the long term, he believes uranium will hold its value as countries around the world build more nuclear power plants. Earlier this year, the company opened another mine in Utah's San Juan County called Rim Canyon Mine.
Denison Mines turns uranium ore into yellowcake at the White Mesa uranium mill near Blanding, the country's only operating uranium mill.
The Tony M mine, eight miles from Ticaboo, Utah, first opened in the 1980s and has an on-again, off-again history. Denison Mines reopened it in September 2007, taking about 200,000 pounds of ore annually.
Ticaboo is an area with known uranium assets that has attracted other players in recent years.
Toronto's Uranium One Inc. bought rights last year to a uranium mill there, along with 38,000 acres of mineral claims and leases from Wyoming-based U.S. Energy Corp.
Uranium One has applied for state approvals to reopen the mill, a process that will take years, Dane Finerfrock, director of the Utah Division of Radiation Control, said Tuesday.
Vancouver, British Columbia-based International Uranium Corp. bought Denison Mines in December 2006 and adopted the name for the combined company.

Here's a better reason why Ux companies might be a good buy now...
President Bush signed the "Henry Hyde United States-India Peaceful Atomic Energy Cooperation Act" into law today
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/12/20061218-1.html
U308 Report
With the U3O8 Investment Report you are given access to one of the most precious yellow metals out there. No, not gold. I'm talking about uranium.
Make no mistake about it: since 2002, the price of uranium has taken off like a rocket. In fact, it's outperformed every other commodity on the planet during that time.
Uranium has not only beaten other commodities, it has also clobbered the Dow, NASDAQ and S&P 500 over the past five years.
And uranium is not even close to reaching its peak. The evidence of this is overwhelming.
Fact #1: In the United States alone, 104 nuclear power plants are licensed to operate--and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission expects to receive 32 applications for new reactors through 2009.
"Over the next 15 months, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission expects a tidal wave of similar permit applications for up to 28 new reactors, costing up to $90 billion to build." --Christian Science Monitor, September 28, 2007
Fact #2: Since January 2007, global plans for new nuclear power plants have risen 37 percent.
Fact #3: China alone plans to build 114 new nuclear reactors--up from projections of 63 last January, a jump of 81%.
Fact #4: India and France have already stated their intent to move towards generating 100% of their electricity from nuclear power plants.
Fact #5: According to the World Nuclear Association, uranium demand could soar to an astonishing 350 million pounds per year-roughly double the current level-by 2030.
Fact #6: In 2008 alone, nuclear power plants' demand for uranium will exceed the world's supply by more than 32 million pounds.
Think about that last fact for a moment-next year, demand will exceed supply by a whopping 32 million pounds.
And this has led to a scenario where a handful of smaller uranium mining companies are charging ahead, making monstrous gains along the way.
So the U3O8 Investment Report is exclusively about uranium. And it's meant for a small group of investors . . . investors who are savvy enough to understand the complexities and profit potential of the uranium industry.
Membership in the U3O8 Investment Report is very much like being part of The Manhattan Project. It's the most connected uranium investment advisory on the planet.
In the U3O8 Investment Report, we're using uranium's historic run to eliminate most of the risk while still offering potential triple-digit gains.

China Wants 100 Westinghouse Reactors -
Posted on: Monday, 30 June 2008, 18:02 CDT
By Bonnie Pfister, The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Jun. 28--China wants to have 100 of Westinghouse Electric Co.'s nuclear reactors in operation or under construction by 2020 -- more than double what was anticipated, according to the company's incoming CEO.
Aris Candris, who will lead the Monroeville-based firm beginning Tuesday, said Chinese officials shared those plans with Westinghouse during a mid-May meeting.
"It is huge," Candris said in an interview Thursday with the Tribune-Review. "Originally we were thinking somewhere around 40."
"This is the beginning of the nuclear renaissance," he said. "Growth is good, but it's also a management challenge."
He succeeds Steve Tritch, who is retiring after 37 years with the company, the past six as CEO. Tritch remains chairman of the board of Westinghouse, a global leader in reactor engineering, construction and maintenance. Westinghouse's technology is the basis for nearly half of the world's 440 nuclear power plants, including 62 of the 104 in the United States.
Candris, 57, who joined the company in 1975 and most recently ran the fuel business, takes over as the industry enjoys renewed support and federal subsidies meant to promote a cleaner alternative to coal-burning plants.
Its AP1000 reactor, which can generate enough power to electrify 700,000 homes, is the technology of choice for half of the 30 reactors planned for the United States. This spring Westinghouse signed deals for four domestic reactors, the first such contracts to be signed in this country in 30 years.
Last year the company beat out French rival Areva to win a $5.3 billion contract to build four AP1000s in China. Although Westinghouse will transfer the technology to Chinese licensees over the next few years, Candris said, it will build several additional plants with partner The Shaw Group, of Baton Rouge, La.
Westinghouse books higher revenue from plants it actually builds, but the licensing strategy frees the company to pursue research and development.
"There are a number of entities over the years that we have licensed -- Areva, Mitsubishi in Japan, Doosan in Korea. In all cases, those became long-term relationships, with long-term benefits for both," Candris said.
Design will begin this year on a 1,700-megawatt reactor, he said, that could be targeted to energy-hungry China and eventually India.
Plans for domestic reactor construction are moving briskly. Candris said contracts for two AP1000s each at three Southeastern U.S. utilities will be signed in the next nine months; the first deal is likely by summer's end. He said he was not worried that soaring costs of steel, copper and cement would hurt his industry, because those costs equally affect construction of other kinds of power plants.
Growth has prompted Westinghouse to hire nearly 3,000 people worldwide over the past three years, he said, and the Monroeville office is at capacity. About 350 instrumentation and control staffers last month moved to rented space in Cranberry, adjacent to a Westinghouse headquarters under construction. The 2,000 or so Monroeville staffers are to relocate next June.

With nuclear energy and plug in hybrid, we can be competitive
again, have a real bargain with the oil producers and have
real impact on reducing CO2 emission.
But, to be realistic, we have to wait for politics
to run it course.
It is unfortunate, but I do not see any other way out.
Yes, it is frustrting to see us spending a lot of resources
on solutions that would not work out in the end.
In the end we will do the right things, but let's hope we do
not have to try everything else that does not work first.

"Every year, these reactors alone spare the atmosphere -
from the equivalent of nearly all auto emissions in America.
Yet for all these benefits, we have not broken ground -
on a single nuclear plant in over thirty years,"....."And
our manufacturing base to even construct these plants -
is almost gone."
In addition to the 45 new reactors by 2030 -
the McCain plan also outline a goal of an additional -
55 nuclear reactors to serve the US market.

first of all, uranium shares are speculative;
mining shares are speculative;
junior shares are speculative;
having said that,
people on the boards who claim to have lost 100's of 1000's
of dollars on u shares must be millionaires b/c
nobody who wasent would ritefully put that much money
into speculative stocks;
it would be pointless to do so anyway b/c your means would
be so great, would it really be worth the risk imho;
so, to the rest of the non-millionaires on the boards
(which is pretty much all of our now!!!lol),
it is still time to keep backing up the truck -
on ex. uranium shares in advance of a turnaround;
will there be volatility? yes;
how will you know if your strategy is working?;
uranium shares should never again cross previous lows hit
earlier this year and tested in the spring;
if your shares do once again cross these lows or continue
to make new ones in the face of more bullish fundamentals,
then you should exit the position;
in other words, if we have successfully called the bottom,
then its all upside form here;
if we have not, then shares will break down again -
and no doubt more unwinding will happen;
im betting on the former;
uranium shares have hurt us this year but the producers -
and good explorers are now at levels that could not be
replaced for anywhere near their market caps;
this imho signals a bottom;
like i have said before, uranium shares really wont get
valuable until people realize that uranium is energy
and people dont realize it yet;
when you can buy uranium at less than 1$/pound when smart
money is paying 5+ for greenfield exploration properties,
it is clear to see that the overhang from the u bubble
is done and it is time to start picking thru the trash -
for bargains;
imho, the only names with any value, other than pure
speculation, are cameco, denison dnn etc.
there is another level of shares like uranium one, mega etc.
and a few other names that will get back in play -
once a little more speculation comes back into the u market -
imo. tia.

Uranium is a strategic energy play..not a seasonal play..like
Indian silver purchases in the Festival/wedding season!
Uranium has been suffering because the price of oil/gas -
has been declining and uranium looks less critical..
But this is an illusion.
It's the demand..and increible future demand..for electricity -
that will ultimately drive the severe uranium pich coming -
in the next 18-24 months.
Why electricity?
Because its FAR MORE CRITICAL THAN OIL!
And everyones love child fuel..nat as...is in for -
huge price increases in 2009.
I hesitate to use ridiculous phrases like
"back up the truck.."
However... a sizeable position in CCJ..DNN..looks very solid here.
I don't think the downside is more than 5-10% in the worse
case..and the upside easily 50-75% by mid 2009.....
imo. tia.

Uranium poised for a rebound as reactor construction booms -
International Herald Tribune -
| : The uranium industry's worst year is about to collide with
a nuclear construction program in India and China that
rivals the ones undertaken during the oil crises of the 1970s. |
The result is likely to be a 58 percent rebound in uranium
to $90 a pound from $57 now, according to Goldman Sachs JB...
