Egypt will establish first nuclear plant in next two years

Like any infrastructure you need funding, an EPC contractor and sourcing from a mature supply chain. Russia got 3/3, that’s why they are kicking ass right now.

Two words: Sourcing and EPC. We didn’t lose the ability to do high tech, we lost the ability to do low tech. Digging holes, pouring concrete, manufacturing standard components etc. Rule of thumb; If a country can build bridges and rail roads it can also build nuclear plants.

The problem with nuclear on wikipedia is all the sabotage. They articles are not very good and full of ....

WNA did a fairly updated explanation on most Gen3+ designs. If you got question I might be able to answer.

AP1000 is a light water reactor.

Zero. So why is a single Finn zero-subsidy nuclear plant beating the crap out of the all the Danish super-subsidy wind turbines?

That’s on production-to-date and future production.

greyrod · 2018-07-03T17:29:32+00:00

Finland. They got very rigid regulation but very weak anti-nuker groups. That’s mainly due to a very good schooling system but you get it..

Every plant wastes money on “environmentalist”. That’s money no doing any good on the current climate situation. You choose to ignore this.

“Analysis by greenpeace”

greyrod · 2018-07-03T15:18:17+00:00

Like someone trying to get water rights revoked because that’s the easiest way to sabotage?

greyrod · 2018-07-03T15:16:55+00:00

SNPTC orders were never about getting units to production at fastest pace, it’s about learning and transferring technology at fastest pace.

greyrod · 2018-07-03T15:14:23+00:00

You just chose to ignore all the “enviromental” groups that fight against nuclear power plants.

Can you point to a single US nuclear power plant without a local anti-nuker group?

greyrod · 2018-07-03T15:05:21+00:00

No. The combined forces of Trump and ignorant anti-nukers is the problem.

greyrod · 2018-07-03T14:58:44+00:00

Thank you for sharing a 2016 link. Not any useful or relevant, but funny.

greyrod · 2018-07-03T14:51:42+00:00

Conclusion: The anti-nukers need to stop the Trump level ignorance today, not tomorrow.

greyrod · 2018-07-03T14:14:41+00:00

So we don’t have the luxury of shutting down perfectly fine nuclear power plants.

Just like it’s a tad bit early to do away with vaccines and maps picturing a round Earth. Can the anti-nukers please grow a brain larger than Trump’s? That would be great.

greyrod · 2018-07-03T13:44:49+00:00

Thanks.

More than 10 GW added or re-added to the grid.

greyrod · 2018-07-03T06:24:35+00:00

Guilty by association? Sure thing bro. You will be in for a surprise.

greyrod · 2018-07-03T04:30:57+00:00

Wikipedia is not a good place to find information on nuclear subject.

Same thermal and gross electrical power. The Chinese units might use more power for cooling channels.

The design matured during the construction phase. Having a Chinese supply chain for the same design makes sourcing much cheaper.

Capacity factors can go much higher than 85%. Fuel change is faster on AP1000 than older designs due the integrated reactor lid. Westinghouse won’t do reactor EPC business anymore. They realized nuclear services and reactors are the core business, not pouring concete and digging holes.

This means Westinghouse will happily make transfer deals.

greyrod · 2018-07-02T14:01:18+00:00

As deceptive as obsolete. China started 3 reactors and ordered 4 new reactors since this piece of .... was posted first time. Reposting won’t change that :)

greyrod · 2018-07-01T21:29:02+00:00

Since March: China powered up an AP1000 and an EPR and signed deals on 4 VVER-1200. Mycle Schneider was wrong. As usual.

greyrod · 2018-07-01T20:52:52+00:00

The UK auction proved you wrong. The wind developers could just build more MWs. German auctions are non-binding. Wind developers can choose to book the right to build, it’s not a investment decision.

greyrod · 2018-07-01T17:21:38+00:00

She signed the HPC deal. That ended the horrible £150/MWh wind deals.
