Researchers new solar reactor uses unique mirror to harvest the sun
2013-02-05 22:00:35| Extremetech
Erik Koepf, a doctoral candidate at the University of Delaware, is working on a solar reactor project that produces hydrogen from a chemical reaction causing sunlight to split water, but its efficiency is still unknown. In March, he'll be traveling to Zurich, Switzerland to test the reactor at full power for the very first time. From there, we'll be able to see if this solar reactor will serve as a stepping stone to better solar technology or if it's a complete dud.

New Japan Nuclear Authority Rules Tough on Tsunami, Could Delay Reactor Restarts
2013-01-30 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Asahi Shimbun: The nuclear industry watchdog is pitching new safety standards on earthquake and tsunami preparedness, which could substantially delay restarts of some idled nuclear plants. The draft outline of the new standards, presented on Jan. 29 by an expert panel of the Nuclear Regulation Authority, calls for broad measures against the highest possible tsunami. The highest possible tsunami, called the "reference tsunami," will be set for individual nuclear plants. Operators will be required to build levees...

Hitachi UK nuclear plans edge forward with reactor design assessment
2013-01-15 12:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BusinessGreen: Plans for a new fleet of nuclear power stations took a step forward today, after Ministers ordered an official assessment of the nuclear reactors that developer Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy plans to use at its recently acquired sites in the UK. The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) confirmed Ministers had instructed the Office for Nuclear Regulation and the Environment Agency to carry out a Generic Design Assessment (GDA) on the Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWRs) Hitachi hopes to...
