55 171. Closure of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant

For more than 30 years, Pakistan's two nuclear power plants, the Karachi Nuclear Power Plant and the Chashma Nuclear Power Plant both of which operate under IAEA safeguards have had excellent operational and safety records.

The building of a nuclear power plant is nearing completion.

A reliable infrastructure has enabled us to commence work on another nuclear power station, the Chashma Nuclear Power Plant II.

We can not be too careful in operating a nuclear power plant.

The power plant of tomorrow is no power plant.

We are pleased to note that the IAEA assisted programme to set up a nuclear desalination plant at the Karachi Nuclear Power Plant is making good progress.

The Republic of Korea is now regarded as one of the major nuclear power generating States in the world. In August this year, we started operating two new nuclear power plant units, bringing Korea apos s total number of units in operation to 14. These units, each with a 1,000 megawatt capacity, are built according to the Korean standard nuclear power plant model. This plant model is the product of a project started in 1984 to standardize nuclear power plant design.

The physical protection of the nuclear power plant is a priority area for our Government.

Nuclear energy plays an important role in the Slovak economy, with nuclear power plants producing nearly 50 per cent of Slovakia apos s electricity. This year Slovakia celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the commissioning of the first unit of a nuclear power plant with a water cooled and water moderated reactor (WWER) at Jaslovske Bohunice. The commissioning of the first unit of the second nuclear power plant in Slovakia, the Mochovce nuclear power plant, took place on 9 June 1998.

1. Welcomes the decision of Ukraine to close the Chernobyl nuclear power plant on 15 December 2000

As a result of our cooperation, we have succeeded in upgrading the safety of the Armenian nuclear power plant.

It is not coincidental, therefore, that our country is seriously considering the possibility of building a new nuclear power plant.

The power plant wouldn't get built.

The initial installation cost of a nuclear power plant may be high its operating costs, however, are relatively low and stable.

Those exercises test national structures for nuclear power plant emergency response and have yielded significant improvements in international coordination and communications.

Additional measures were taken to secure contaminated beryllium at the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), and radiation detection capabilities were enhanced.

The spent fuel has been stored on the Ignalina NPP site since the start of operation of the Nuclear Power Plant.

The positions recruited by the Representative Office of Power Construction Corporation of China include company clerk, power plant site management, and power plant construction engineers.

Such cooperation was particularly meaningful to Ukraine in view of its commitment to decommissioning the Chernobyl nuclear power plant by the year 2000.

We have to get to a power plant.

In March 2003, after several years of disputes over joint exploitation of the nuclear power plant, the Agreement between the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Slovenia on the Regulation of the Status and Other Legal Relationships, Connected with Investments in the Krško Nuclear Power Plant, its Exploitation and Decommissioning entered into force.

If we look at the delays, it takes between 10 and 19 years to put up a nuclear power plant from planning to operation.

32. Mr. Semenenko (Ukraine) said that the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 1986 had been a real national tragedy for Ukraine.

In accordance with the Ottawa Memorandum, the precondition for the decommissioning of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is the completion of construction of compensating power units. However, the issue of financial support for this project has not been solved yet by international financial institutions in a way that may result in the revision of earlier decisions regarding the decommissioning of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

Noting with concern the gravity of economic and social problems arising for Ukraine as a result of the closure of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant,

You go to any factory, any power plant, any chemical plant, any food processing plant, you look around everything is being run by computers.

NEW DELHI The troubles of the Fukushima nuclear power plant and other reactors in northeast Japan have dealt a severe blow to the global nuclear industry, a powerful cartel of less than a dozen major state owned or state guided firms that have been trumpeting a nuclear power renaissance.

And last year marked half a century since a nuclear power plant first supplied energy to the electricity grid in what is now the Russian Federation.

Indeed, the idea of a nuclear renaissance is a myth. Nuclear accidents, public opposition, and high capital costs have already provoked a drastic drop in nuclear energy investment in the United States, no nuclear power plant has been commissioned since the late 1970 s.

For example, many nuclear power plants located along the British coast are just a few meters above sea level. In 1992, Hurricane Andrew caused significant damage at the Turkey Point nuclear power plant on Biscayne Bay, Florida, but, fortunately, not to any critical systems.

Nuclear power production

Moreover, we believe that a new nuclear power plant would have regional significance as well, as it could supply energy to those neighbouring countries with shortages of electricity.

At a minimum, a thorough reexamination and full public debate must precede the construction of any new nuclear plant. But the current emphasis on nuclear power must be objectively reassessed, and dependence on it thereafter reduced.

She described the long lasting and devastating effects of four of the most dangerous elements made in nuclear power plants, namely, iodine 131, strontium 90, caesium 137 and plutonium 239, pointing out moreover that the amount of plutonium produced by each nuclear power plant in a year could be used to manufacture 40 nuclear bombs.

Established by IAEA, the Chernobyl Forum was designed to provide information to the people affected by the explosion of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, to facilitate the implementation of victim assistance programmes and to review the environmental aspects of decommissioning the plant.

NPS nuclear power sources

I would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to those countries that are providing the Armenian nuclear power plant and Regulatory Authority with continued and substantial assistance.

Construction of a fourth nuclear power plant, which began in 1999, was suspended by DPP President Chen Shui bian the following year. Although Chen s government, under pressure from the opposition Kuomintang, later restarted work on the plant, design revisions have repeatedly delayed its completion.

The facility s robust design is similar to that of the Kashiwazaki Kariwa nuclear power plant, the world s largest, in Niigata, which was unscathed by the Chūetsu offshore earthquake (measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale) in July 2007. Fukushima Daiichi withstood the earthquake, but no one considered the possibility of ten meter high tsunami waves hitting a nuclear plant.

The middle line is millions of tons of plastic debris accumulating in our ocean, and the third line is radioactive material leaking from Fukushima nuclear power plant in the Pacific Ocean.

The Dirt on Nuclear Power

Nuclear power source safety standards

Nuclear power plants are dangerous, not to mention nuclear weapons.
