No Nukes No Where No How [the future of nuclear power] Presented by Jane Feldman and Brian Paddock Members of the CCL and the Nuclear Issues Activist Network core team with thanks to the rest of the NIAT core team and special thanks to Fred Heutte, Club volunteer and Senior Policy Analyst, NW Energy Coalition September 22, 2011

Nuclear power is dirty and deadly Nuclear power is dirty and deadly. It has a significant carbon footprint and a radioactive footprint of plutonium, uranium, cesium, strontium, tritium.

Nuclear technology is slow. .

Nuclear power is dangerous. 26 Mark 1 reactors in the US Fukushima Dai-Ichi - Station blackout caused irradiated fuel in pools to melt in Units 1-4. - Accident cleanup + replacement power: $40 billion . . . ? - Japan has no long-term waste repository.

What do we do with irradiated fuel? - BWR Type 5, Mark II (same as Fukushima Dai-ichi 6) - On-site dry fuel cask storage (unusual for US) - Irradiated fuel pool: 558 tons (66% capacity) - Irradiated fuel pool at Fukushima Dai-ichi 6: 151 tons Columbia Generating Station near Richland. WA Move dangerous irradiated fuel out of pools and into hardened, on-site storage (HOSS), away from water and fault lines. No centralized interim storage.. Research only on waste management. Sierra Club formally signed onto letter of HOSS principles in March 2011.

What about final disposal? Hoss it. Hoss it all. HOSS it now. - Onkalo waste repository, Finland - accept waste for 100 years (2020-2120) - must be safe for 100,000 years - plan seems to be: throw away the maps

Nuclear power is expensive. - "pathfinder project" for Gen III+ globally - original completion: May 2009, current est: 2013 original cost (turnkey): $4.1 billion, current est: $8.2 billion Olkiluoto 3, Finland Billions, huge cost over-runs CWIP, federal loan guarantees CWIP, DoE loan guarantees

Nuclear power will get more expensive. The World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2010-2011 Nuclear Power in a Post-Fukushima World Worldwatch Institute, April 2011 (draft)

There are 104 existing nuclear power plants. http://www. nrc

There are 29 nuclear power plants proposed and on DoE books. http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/col/new-reactor-map.html Proposed reactors in Green River, Utah, ueblo, CO, teo others in CO

There are ? number of plants applying to renew their licenses. Limerick NPP, PA Columbia NPP, WA Indian Point NPP, NY St Lucie NPP, FL amendment Peach Bottom APS, PA, amendment Diablo Cyn NPP, CA The Sierra Club new energy policy calls for nuclear power plants to be closed when their licenses expire. Close these down! Could put a map here if we find one.

Other miscellaneous and noxious issues Uranium mining Mini reactors Processing and reprocessing Importing foreign radioactive waste Rising sea levels Typhoons, hurricanes and floods Earthquakes and tsunamis

cleaner, safer, cheaper, faster. Idaho – not usually regarded as a Sun Belt state! Solar, wind and geothermal energy – cleaner, safer, cheaper, faster. Use TN or NV map instead of ID? Add a url for other state insolation maps?

2. Stop the license renewals. 3. Transition off King CONG. What to Do 1. HOSS it all. 2. Stop the license renewals. 3. Transition off King CONG. onto solar, wind and geothermal – cleaner, safer, cheaper, faster. Plan it; Fund it; Staff it. 4. Join the NIAT http://connect.sierraclub.org/Team/Nuc lear_Issues_Activist_Team What did Diane ask us to call spent fuel?
