Active Fault May Block Restart of Tsuruga Reactor in Japan
2013-05-23 04:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Japans nuclear watchdog on Wednesday endorsed a conclusion by a panel of seismologists that a fault under a reactor at an atomic plant in western Japan is active, potentially blocking a restart of the reactor. The Nuclear Regulation Authority said it agreed with the panel that the fault underneath the Tsuruga No. 2 reactor could set off an earthquake and cause an accident. Japanese regulations prohibit reactors from sitting above active faults. The No. 2 reactor at Tsuruga, one of two there, now...

Cold fusion reactor independently verified, has 10,000 times the energy density of gas
2013-05-21 18:43:18| Extremetech
Against all probability, a device that purports to use cold fusion to generate vast amounts of power has been verified by a panel of independent scientists. The cold fusion device being tested has roughly 10,000 times the energy density and 1,000 times the power density of gasoline.
Japan Takes First Step to a Permanent Reactor Shutdown After Fukushima
2013-05-16 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Experts judged on Wednesday that a reactor on Japan's west coast is located on ground at high risk of an earthquake, setting in motion a process that will likely lead to the first permanent shutdown of a nuclear plant since the 2011 Fukushima crisis. Mothballing the reactor at Japan's oldest nuclear station would be the most stringent measure adopted in Japan since the meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear station north of Tokyo exposed failings in nuclear oversight. The experts' finding...
