Nuclear America: Special report on state of US nuclear facilities

Over the past 18 months, a number of nuclear facilities across 
the country have experienced problems. From the Hanford Site in 
Washington state to Indian Point in New York, RT America takes a close 
look at the disastrous conditions at US nuclear sites.

</div>
<div class="article__text text ">
<br />
Taking
 a look at the past, present and future of nuclear facilities in the US,
 Friday’s special report seeks to fill in the gap about America’s 
crumbling radioactive infrastructure that the mainstream media has 
ignored.<br />
<br /><strong></strong><strong></strong>
Harnessing
 nuclear energy ‒ both civilian and military ‒ has both helped the 
world… and put it at risk. RT America’s Alexey Yaroshevsky and Simone 
Del Rosario explore how nuclear power feeds cities with energy ‒ and how
 leaks from those same plants can destroy the lives of those nearby.<br />
The
 US ushered in the nuclear age in August 1945, when it dropped a uranium
 bomb on Hiroshima and a plutonium version on Nagasaki in Japan. While 
no other country has used a nuclear weapon, that doesn’t mean that 
radioactive material hasn’t come close to destroying the world in the 
decades since.<br />
<br />
RT’s Manuel Rapalo looks at the biggest 
technological disasters in the 71 years since the end of World War II, 
including the most famous of all: the 1986 explosion at Chernobyl, 
located in the Soviet republic of Ukraine. Rapalo also looks at one of 
the most recent disasters, at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant 
in Japan, which was struck by a tsunami in 2011. The two meltdowns are 
the only two to receive the Level 7 classification ‒ the highest score 
on the International Nuclear Events Scale.<br />
</div>

<br />
<br />
The
 US is the world’s largest producer of nuclear power, with 99 working 
reactors, generating nearly 100,000 megawatts of energy ‒ or nearly a 
quarter of the country’s needs. The oldest nuclear plant, New Jersey’s 
Oyster Creek, has been running since 1969. Much like America’s 
infrastructure in general, however, there are severe cracks in the 
foundations.<br />
<br />
One of those places where the cracks are most evident
 is at the Hanford Site in Richland, Washington, where nuclear waste has
 been stored for decades in tanks never designed to last for more than 
40 years. Recently, the site has released several <em>“burps”</em> of radiation into the atmosphere.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="460" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9ehWC8EediA" width="660"></iframe>

<br />
<br />
<em>“We
 know ‒ the data shows ‒ that six of those oldest tanks have been 
leaking for the last several years, even while the [US] Energy 
Department denies it,”</em> state Representative Gerry Pollet told RT. <em>“The
 Energy Department won’t even put in monitoring outside the tank to see 
if radiation levels are going up in the soil around it.”</em><br />
<br />
When
 Heart of America North West, a Hanford watchdog where Pollet is the 
executive director, objected and asked for public meetings, <em>“the Energy Department and state say, ‘No, we don’t need any public meetings about the budget request’,”</em> he said.<br />
<br />
<em>“They’re
 worried about the fact that, if people raise heck about not cleaning up
 and emptying these dangerous tanks, Congress might respond and take 
money away from building this massive vitrification plant ‒ which may 
never work anyway,”</em> Pollet said.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="460" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PQxb5DbOOaI" width="660"></iframe>

<br />
<br />
The plant is scheduled to be built by 2036, although it was originally supposed to be operational nine years ago.<br />
Capitol Hill does have its eye on Hanford. Senator Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) has traveled to the site recently.<br />
<br />
<em>“The DOE has been mismanaging the cleanup at Hanford for three decades,”</em> he told RT in a statement. <em>“I
 am outraged that the Department claims it doesn’t have enough money to 
clean up Hanford yet allows such an egregious waste of taxpayer 
dollars.”</em><br />
<br />
<div class="article__cover">

</div>
<br />
On
 top of that, there have been leaks of toxic odors into the atmosphere 
around the tank farms. More than 50 workers have received medical 
treatment for exposure to chemical vapors since mid-April. Yaroshevsky 
spoke with several former Hanford workers who are all now suffering from
 severe health issues.<br />
<br />
Officials at Hanford declined to take part in the Nuclear America special.<br />

<br />
<br />
At
 Indian Point Nuclear Station just outside New York City, the facility 
is currently running on an expired license thanks to legislative leeway.
 In the last 11 years, the plant has had nine incidents, including 
transformer fires and leaks in spent fuel pools. At one point, its 
reactor shut down because a bird was defecating on power lines. Despite 
these mishaps, though, the company that runs the site says it <em>“is safe, and it is operating safely,”</em>
 Entergy Corporation spokeswoman Patricia Kakridis told Yaroshevsky 
earlier this year. She then blamed opposition groups for delaying the 
plant’s license renewal.<br />
<br />
The facility is currently operating under
 a temporary license, but there has been damage discovered in at least 
one, if not two, of the site’s nuclear reactors, Paul Derienzo, an 
investigative journalist who has been covering Indian Point for decades,
 told RT.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="460" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/t3jIgfq2qO0" width="660"></iframe>

<br />
<br />
<em>“Recently,
 it was discovered that there was quite a lot of damage inside of Unit 
2, and there’s some fear of damage inside of Unit 3, which might extend 
and it’s definitely led to a situation where there is now a lawsuit to 
prevent the restarting of Unit 2 and to shut down Unit 3 for an earlier 
inspection based on these problems and damages that were discovered in 
the last few weeks,”</em> Derienzo said.<br />
<br />
Just south of Miami, 
Florida, the Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Station has been described 
by a former employee as the next reactor to undergo a full-scale 
meltdown. If that happens, it could make large swaths of the Sunshine 
State uninhabitable overnight. In March, a study showed that the water 
next to the plant contains alarming levels of radiation that has leaked 
from the facility’s cooling canals into Biscayne Bay. RT’s Marina 
Portnaya reports on why the report’s findings are so dangerous.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="460" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RsFtZ0hilgI" width="660"></iframe>

<br />
<br />
Despite
 the risks posed by America’s crumbling nuclear infrastructure, the 
so-called clean energy fuel doesn’t appear to be going anywhere.<br />
<br />
<em>“The
 future of nuclear energy is to continue safely and reliably running the
 current nuclear fleet in the United States while supporting advanced 
reactor development and  construction of those advanced reactors to 
ensure that we have nuclear energy available to meet our emission and 
economic goals as a country,”</em> Victoria Anderson, project manager for the Nuclear Energy Institute, told Del Rosario and Yaroshevsky.<br />
<br />
Paul Gunther, director of the Reactor Oversight Project for Beyond Nuclear, disagreed, however.<br />
<em>“I
 think if you look at the trends, particularly the market trends right 
now, nuclear energy is getting increasingly more and more expensive, and
 renewable energy like solar and wind are getting less and less, so 
nuclear is no longer able to compete in the electric marketplace,”</em> he said. <em>“And the industry is responding by closing plants.”</em><br />
But as Hanford has taught us, closing nuclear plants may not prevent deadly mishaps from occurring. <i>rt.</i><br />

Drones will render the oceans ‘transparent’ & Trident nuclear submarines useless – expert

</td></tr>

<br />
<div class="article__summary summary ">

Technological advances in maritime drones will make the ocean 
‘transparent,’ meaning weapons such as Britain’s Trident nuclear 
submarines will be unable to hide from enemy detection, according to a 
top academic.

</div>
<div class="article__text text ">
Professor Paul Rogers, who
 teaches security at Bradford University, made the comments in an 
analysis piece for Open Democracy on Thursday.<br />
<br />
“<em>One issue in particular is of deep concern to the authorities: whether the oceans are in the process of becoming transparent</em>,” he warned.<br />
“<em>If the submarines which carry the missiles become detectable, they will no longer constitute a secure nuclear force.</em>”</div>
<br />

<br />
<br />
Technologies
 designed for civil maritime exploration such as Underwater Unmanned 
Vehicles (UUV), which are effectively sea drones, are likely to make 
the seas “<em>transparent</em>” in a way they had not previously been, said Rogers.<br />
He accepted the climate of debate in the UK around Trident nuclear weapons is extremely tense.<br />
<br />
“<em>In
 Britain at the present time, any suggestion that the Trident 
replacement system may prove to be a non-starter is met with 
considerable opposition from defense sources, and not a little anger at 
the way the issue keeps surfacing, so to speak,</em>” he said.<br />
Apart from strategic concerns about obsolescence, campaigners recently highlighted the spiraling costs of Trident.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Campaign
 for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) warned on May 12 that replacing Britain’s
 aging Trident nuclear deterrent will likely cost £205 billion (US$296 
billion), more than doubling initial estimates in 2014.<br />
They 
calculated the figure using the latest publicly available data, answers 
to parliamentary questions and previous costs of relevant items 
including warheads.<br />
CND noted the figure did not take into account the fact Ministry of Defence (MoD) projects typically go over budget.<br />

<li>Airbus Defence and Space imagery captured in 2016 shows a new radar cross-section test range in China</li>
<li>A J-20 full-scale test article is present at the new test range, 
with apparent design changes suggesting either a new powerplant 
installation or a new aircraft variant under evaluation</li>
</ul>
<i>IHS Jane's</i> recently identified a radar cross-section (RCS) 
test complex in China. Airbus Defence and Space imagery captured on 24 
April shows a recently completed test range northeast of Dingxin Airbase
 (AB) - the second new test site to be identified in the East Asian 
nation. The first one is located southwest of Beijing near Gaobeidian. A
 third possible site, predating the new complexes, is situated near 
Luoyang.<br />
<br />
The location near Dingxin AB is well suited for a signature evaluation 
complex, with flat terrain and a lack of man-made or natural 
obstructions near the facility. Additionally, the configuration of the 
J-20 full-scale RCS test article present suggests design changes may be 
forthcoming to China's fifth-generation stealth fighter.<br />
<br />
Along with the Gaobeidian RCS complex, the Dingxin RCS complex 
illustrates China's increasing attention to low-RCS aircraft design. The
 Dingxin RCS complex was constructed after the Gaobeidian site, which 
was built in the 2009 timeframe - perhaps in an effort to establish an 
RCS test range in a more secure location.<br />

American arms exports leaves the military-industrial complex at risk of 
being overtaken by countries who scooped up defense secrets without the 
cost of research and development.</span></span></b></div>
<div class="b-article__lead" itemprop="description" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="b-article__text" itemprop="articleBody">
On
 Tuesday, US defense industry analysts offered a report claiming that 
American military contractors will be overtaken in coming years 
by defense contractors in Israel, South Korea, and Brazil, marking an 
end to Western dominance over war profiteering.<br />
<div class="b-inject m-inject-min">
<div class="b-inject__media">
</div>
<br /></div>
The report, "Dynamics of International Military Modernization 2016," 
authored by Daniel Yoon and Doug Berenson from Beltway consultants 
Avascent blamed American military exports for the market threat, 
as countries buy arms at a cut rate to back-engineer US weapons 
technology.<br />
<br />

<div class="marker-quote1">
<i>"In many cases, these emerging players 
developed through diffused technology via prior export arrangements 
with Western suppliers, often through offset requirements and domestic 
industry participation," stated the report. In layman’s terms, foreign 
countries purchase US arms to steal American know-how, avoiding the 
burdensome taxpayer-subsidized cost of research and development.</i></div>
<div class="marker-quote1">
<br /></div>
The development occurs as the US military-industrial complex has 
shifted its focus toward exporting weapons to tyrannical regimes 
throughout the world, as a means to offset reductions in the size of the
 American war machine following the drawdown in Iraq and Afghanistan. 
According to the report, "in 2010, only 17% of defense equipment 
manufactured in the US was exported; by 2015, that number jumped 
dramatically to 34%."<br />
<div class="b-inject m-inject-min">
<div class="b-inject__media">
</div>
 </div>
US weapons-manufacturing expertise has been suggested as being 
in decline primarily due to Washington’s reticence to engage in war, 
opting instead to be the Walmart of weapon retailers for the world.<br />

The situation is exacerbated by the Obama Administration’s 
trigger-happy approach to sell arms, often including troubling "offset 
requirements" making it easier for the nascent domestic defense 
industries of countries to "absorb suppliers' technical expertise."<br />
<br />

In addition to the rapid growth of weapons manufacturing expertise 
in Israel, South Korea, and Brazil, the US contends with other leading 
arms exporters, including Russia and China, who offer high-end military 
technology. Analysts also suggest that the American military-industrial 
complex will soon forfeit market share to other nations, including Japan
 and India.<br />

The report claimed that Israel may soon become the world’s premier 
supplier of radar, missile, and drone technology, noting that the 
country’s unmanned aerial vehicles are competitive with US hardware.<br />
<div class="b-inject m-inject-min">
<div class="b-inject__media">
</div>
 </div>
<div class="marker-quote1">
<i>South Korea looks to make its mark in air 
superiority with the development of an indigenous fighter jet and a next
 generation T-50 design. In addition to the aerospace field, South Korea
 excels in the production of destroyers, frigates, amphibious assault 
vehicles, and assault submarines, the report said.</i></div>
<div class="marker-quote1">
<br /></div>
Brazil, by contrast, looked to occupy the lower-tech echelons of the 
market, at a cut-rate price exploiting a niche in light attack aircraft 
thanks to a partnership with Saab to produce the Gripen fighter.<br />
<br />

American military superiority is thought to be endangered by the 
growing export of defense technology throughout the world, leading some 
analysts to worry about the future of the US weapons industry, and the 
safety and security of the country. </div>

The future of transport? From Transit Elevated Bus to flying cars

China has unveiled an impressive futuristic ‘uber-bus’ that can 
carry 1,200 passengers, travels above other vehicles, and aims to end 
the nation’s notorious traffic jams.

</div>
The Transit Elevated Bus 
(TEB) is essentially a metro system that hovers above cars and was 
designed to maximize the use of road space.<br />
The revolutionary mode of transport was revealed to the public at the <a href="http://english.chitec.cn/">China Beijing International High-Tech Expo</a> over the weekend.<br />
<br />
<img alt="None animated GIF" class="gif" data-absolute_url="/gifs/3o7qE1LEeIJCR6xVmg" data-animated="https://media.giphy.com/media/3o7qE1LEeIJCR6xVmg/giphy.gif" data-height="360" data-mp4_url="https://media.giphy.com/media/3o7qE1LEeIJCR6xVmg/giphy.mp4" data-still="https://media.giphy.com/media/3o7qE1LEeIJCR6xVmg/200_s.gif" data-width="640" id="gif" src="https://media.giphy.com/media/3o7qE1LEeIJCR6xVmg/giphy.gif" style="left: 0px; top: 0px;" /> <br />
<div class="rtcode">
<a href="http://giphy.com/gifs/3o7qE1LEeIJCR6xVmg">via GIPHY</a><br />
</div>
Designers
 in China claim the innovative transport system should be both 
cost-effective and environmentally friendly. The elevated high-speed bus
 is powered by electricity, which is <a href="http://english.cntv.cn/program/bizasia/20100826/100970.shtml">supplemented by solar energy</a> generated by the roof panels.<br />
<br />
<em>“With
 a carrying capacity of 1,200 people at a time, the TEB has the same 
functions as the subway while its cost of construction is less than one 
fifth of the subway,”</em> senior project engineer Bai Zhiming told <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APybYjcm_j4">CCTV News.</a><br />
<br />

</div>
<a href="http://www.hsfuture.com/">Shenzhen Huashi Future Parking Equipment</a>,
 the company behind the TEB, say construction can be completed in a 
year. Trial operations are due to start in Qinhuangdao City, in north 
China's Hebei Province, in the second half of 2016.<br />
<br />

China’s
 TEB is just one of a number cutting edge developments set to transform 
the future of the transport industry and which leave Doc Brown’s 
time-travelling DeLorean looking somewhat mundane.<br />
<br />
<br />
AeroMobil and Terrafugia are among the companies vying for take-off with their flying cars in 2017.<br />
