Reuters: The crippled San Onofre nuclear plant will be retired, its operator said on Friday, leaving California scrambling to keep the state's lights and air-conditioners on this summer even as it pursues ambitious plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Southern California Edison, owned by Edison International , said it would retire both nuclear reactors at the plant in the face of onerous maintenance bills and an industry-wide shift toward burning more cheap natural gas to feed the grid.

US starts building first nuclear reactors in 30 years
2013-04-03 20:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: YOU could be forgiven for thinking a new era of nuclear energy is under way in the US. On 11 March, crews at the Virgil C Summer power plant in South Carolina completed a 51-hour marathon of pouring concrete. Three days later, in Burke County, Georgia, another concrete base was completed. The two reactors that will sit on these bases will be Westinghouse AP1000s. Like older models, they will use uranium fission to heat water and drive a turbine, but these reactors will be smaller, simpler to build,...
