After the nuclear accident in Fukushima, Japan, the United States paid close attention to the accident and said that it would not change its position on vigorously developing nuclear power. At present, the United States has no plans to shut down the nuclear power plant, but at the same time, the United States has further strengthened nuclear safety measures. Obama has asked the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the nuclear power plants in the United States. It is reported that the committee will hold a press conference on US nuclear safety on March 21.
The Obama administration is committed to "rejuvenation of nuclear power"
The United States is one of the countries with the strongest nuclear power production capacity in the world. At present, there are 104 nuclear reactors registered in the United States, of which 69 are pressurized water reactors and 35 are light water reactors. 20% of the nation’s electricity is generated from nuclear power.
The 1960s was the golden period for the development of major nuclear power projects in the United States. The accident at the Sanli Island nuclear power plant near Harrisburg, Pa., in 1979 caused a major blow to the development of nuclear power in the United States. Since then, the nuclear power industry in the United States has experienced a period of stagnation of about 30 years.
Since the Obama administration took office, the development of nuclear power has become one of the important contents of its energy strategy. It has been called the “renewable nuclear power†energy strategy.
In the "State of the Union Address" published earlier this year, Obama stressed that the U.S. government will vigorously develop clean energy, including nuclear energy, and strive to make 80% of U.S. electricity supply come from clean energy in 2035. In the 2012 Budget, the Obama administration seeks an additional $36 billion** to ensure the launch of new nuclear power construction projects.
Japanese Nuclear Leakage Accident Controversies The current nuclear accident in Fukushima, Japan, will affect the U.S. nuclear recovery process to some extent.
First, the U.S. nuclear power security situation once again aroused public concern. Most of the U.S. nuclear power plants have a history of several decades. In a report released on the 17th, the "Scientists Federation of the United States" pointed out that last year, the US nuclear power plant suffered 14 accidents. The report urged the Obama administration to reconsider its nuclear power policy. In recent years, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission has also questioned the approval of some nuclear power plants to extend their lives by renewing licenses for 20 years. Opposition sources said that the nuclear accident in Japan once again showed that nuclear energy risk will never be eliminated, because there are always some unexpected major risk factors.
After the nuclear accident in Japan, the senator Ma Keji from Massachusetts called for a halt in the construction of new nuclear power plants in the seismically active zone and should strengthen the safety measures of existing nuclear power plants. The Democratic Party’s Senator Blumenthal from Connecticut sent a letter to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, saying that the residents of the state are deeply concerned about whether a similar nuclear accident will occur in the United States and urged the United States to learn lessons from the nuclear accident in Japan. In North Carolina and Indiana, proposals for the construction of new nuclear power plants were recently put on hold. The San Antonio municipality in Texas also suspended talks on purchasing electricity from a nuclear company on the 15th.
In the process of implementing the US energy strategy that is difficult to get rid of political colors, the Obama administration often faces constraints from both sides. In the context of rising global oil and gas prices, the Republicans of the United States Congress and many Democrats demanded that the Obama administration step up its efforts to build nuclear power while stepping up oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. However, the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that occurred last year and the developing nuclear accident in Fukushima, Japan, have put pressure on the White House from another camp.
The construction of nuclear power is still proceeding in a controversial manner as planned. The Obama administration has a clear-cut attitude: New nuclear power construction will continue as originally planned. At the same time, every effort will be made to ensure the safety and reliability of nuclear facilities. President Obama emphasized that he has instructed the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission to learn lessons from the nuclear accident in Fukushima, Japan, to ensure US nuclear safety. US Secretary of Energy Zhu Yuwen stated that the U.S. government is closely following the development of the nuclear power plant accident in Japan in order to make necessary adjustments to U.S. nuclear policy. The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (YNC) Yankee has repeatedly stated that the agency will take all necessary measures to ensure the safety of nuclear power facilities in the United States.
The Washington Post published an editorial entitled "Nuclear Choice" on the 17th, stating that despite the nuclear crisis in Japan, it cannot stop the development of nuclear power in the United States. No matter which method you use to generate electricity, you have a risk. Thermal power generation discharges harmful gases into the air, causing many people to suffer from respiratory diseases and cancer. Coal mine explosions, drilling platforms, and gas pipeline crashes can also cause casualties. At the same time, thermal power generation also causes serious environmental pollution, and billions of people worldwide suffer from it. The article also believes that Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power plant is “very oldâ€, and that new nuclear power facilities in the United States will adopt more advanced technologies, such as the nuclear power plant cooling system that is planned to be built in Georgia is much more advanced than the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
However, the U.S. industry generally believes that as a result, the cost of new nuclear power facilities will inevitably increase, which will become a negative factor that hinders the U.S. nuclear revival. American Standard & Poor's expert Dreyer even believes that increasing costs will become a serious obstacle to the development of new nuclear power at least in the short term.
