NukeTech: Online Survey Results
http://nuketech10.blogspot.com/2012/04/online-survey-results.html
Friday, 27 April 2012. On April 2, we have started an online survey that aimed. To gauge the level of public awareness regarding power generation in Malaysia. There were a total of 10 questions separated into two parts; 3 questions for Part I and the next 7 for Part II. We have received exactly 76 responses by the time we collected the results on April 27, 2012. The followings are the summary of responses for each question asked. Summary of responses for Part I - Question #1. Summary of responses for Par...

NukeTech: The Cost of Fuel
http://nuketech10.blogspot.com/2012/04/cost-of-fuel.html
Sunday, 8 April 2012. The Cost of Fuel. In March 2011, the approx. US $ cost to get 1 kg of uranium as UO2 reactor fuel. At current spot uranium price):. 75 kg U x $13. 73 SWU x $155. At 45,000 MWd/t burn-up this gives 360,000 kWh electrical per kg, hence fuel cost: 0.77 c/kWh. Current exchange rate is. 1 US dollar = 3.06449537 Malaysian ringgits. The fuel's contribution to the overall cost of the electricity produced is relatively small, so even a large fuel price escalation will have relatively little ...

NukeTech: Nuclear Energy Is Our Friend
http://nuketech10.blogspot.com/2012/04/nuclear-energy-is-our-friend.html
Sunday, 8 April 2012. Nuclear Energy Is Our Friend. This video shows that, there is need we consider nuclear energy as additional resources for power distribution. We can't depend on one resources only, since there are others alternative resources should be taken into consideration. Nuclear energy is safe and its friend to us!

NukeTech: Nuclear Engineer
http://nuketech10.blogspot.com/2012/04/nuclear-engineer.html
Friday, 20 April 2012. Nuclear engineer should provide with sufficient knowledge likes mathematics, economics, and principles of engineering. In term of practicality, the nuclear engineer use computer for simulation in problem analysis. The nuclear engineer tasks as below:. Working hours for nuclear engineer is 40 hours a week. However, the engineer must willing to work whatever days of shifts are necessary to meet production schedules [1]. TABLE 1 The Median Salary and Projected Job Growth [2]. Nuclear ...

NukeTech: Comparing the Economics of Different Forms of Electricity Generation
http://nuketech10.blogspot.com/2012/04/comparing-economics-of-different-forms.html
Sunday, 8 April 2012. Comparing the Economics of Different Forms of Electricity Generation. US figures for 2008 published by NEI show the general picture, with nuclear generating power at 1.87 c/kW. The above data refer to fuel plus operation and maintenance costs only, they exclude capital, since this varies greatly among utilities and states, as well as with the age of the plant. A Finnish study in 2000 also quantified fuel price sensitivity to electricity costs:. For prospective new nuclear plants, th...

NukeTech: Safety of Nuclear Power Plant
http://nuketech10.blogspot.com/2012/04/safety-of-nuclear-power-plant.html
Wednesday, 4 April 2012. Safety of Nuclear Power Plant. The main component of Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) is nuclear reactor. Nuclear reactor is an engineering device, in which nuclear fuel and structural materials are arranged such that a self-sustained fission chain reaction can occur in a controlled manner. In term of nuclear reactor safety, there are two categories consist of :. Radiological hazard is adverse heath effects of radiation. Reactor Containment Structure (RCS) Boundary. Thanks a lot for sha...

NukeTech: Recent Economics Performance of a Nuclear Power Plant
http://nuketech10.blogspot.com/2012/04/recent-economics-performance-of-nuclear.html
Sunday, 8 April 2012. Recent Economics Performance of a Nuclear Power Plant. In addition to improved economics arising from the upgraded plant capacities, the performance of most operating nuclear plants have also been further improved through better nuclear fuel design based on the use of higher uranium enrichment levels. This resulted in better nuclear fuel utilization. In most cases, n. Nuclear energy is, in many places, competitive with fossil fuels for electricity generation, despite relatively high...

NukeTech: Did You Know?
http://nuketech10.blogspot.com/2012/04/did-you-know.html
Monday, 9 April 2012. On December 2, 1942, Leo Szilard, Enrico Fermi and their colleagues has successfully achieved the first man made and controlled the nuclear chain reaction. What makes it interesting was, it was made in University of Chicago's Stagg Field's squash court. So, on the same date during the year 2011, nuclear energy was celebrating its 69th years of anniversary. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Bloggers for NukeTech.

NukeTech: Economics of Nuclear Power Plant
http://nuketech10.blogspot.com/2012/04/economics-of-nuclear-power-plant.html
Sunday, 8 April 2012. Economics of Nuclear Power Plant. There are at least four types of costs linger around the implementation of a new nuclear power plant. These costs are basically:. Decommissioning and Waste Management costs. Of course there are some other additional costs, but at this point, the stated four are the most prominent. In addition, fuel costs are one area of steadily increasing efficiency and cost reduction. For instance, in Spain, nuclear electricity cost was reduced by 29% over 199...
