9/28/2011 Swiss plan to phase out use of nuclear power gains full backing in parliament

Source: Associated Press
Date: September 28, 9:54 AM

BERN, Switzerland — A government plan to phase out nuclear power in Switzerland has moved a lot closer to becoming reality. Switzerland’s upper house, the Council of States, approved a measure Wednesday as expected to gradually shut down the country’s five nuclear reactors by 2034.

The endorsement, one month before federal elections, follows similar action by the lower house in June and reflects growing global skepticism over the use of atomic energy.

The Swiss use it to provide almost 40 percent of their country’s energy, which relies largely on hydropower.

The Cabinet favors decommissioning the country’s reactors after an average life span of 50 years and must now provide lawmakers with a detailed proposal on how to do that.

9/26/2011 Another shutdown at Entergy nuclear power plant

Source: Associated Press via Bloomberg Business Week
Date: September 26, 2011, 9:29AM ET

COVERT TOWNSHIP, Mich.
Entergy Corp.'s Palisades Nuclear Plant in southwestern Michigan has shut down five days after restarting from an earlier shutdown.

Entergy said the plant shut down automatically from full power about 3:10 p.m. Sunday because of an electrical breaker fault.

New Orleans-based Entergy said no one was hurt in the shutdown. Entergy said plant personnel are evaluating the problem and working toward "a repair and restoration schedule."

Palisades is in Van Buren County's Covert Township, about 55 miles southwest of Grand Rapids. It was shut down Sept. 16 because of a loss of water in a cooling system, then brought back on the grid last Tuesday.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission inspected the plant in August after a water pump component failed.

Editor's Note: Two shutdowns in such a short span of time is definitely concerning to say the least.

9/27/2011 Cuomo’s Indian Point hype

Source: New York Post
Date: 9/27/2011

Looks like Gov. Cuomo didn’t take the hint from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which last spring said that safety at Indian Point in the wake of Japan’s nuclear crisis “is really not a serious concern.”
The governor, in his first-ever online town meeting over the weekend, said he has no doubts replacement power can be found if Indian Point is shut down.
