The energy strategy, which would call for a 40-year life span for its reactors and limit the construction of nuclear plants, reflects a historic shift away from nuclear power in the wake of the accident last year. In its first comprehensive energy review since the Fukushima disaster, Japan said Friday that it would seek to phase out nuclear power by the end of the 2030s. Although the move heralded the end of nuclear energy in the country, it would come only after a longer- than-expected transition to give power companies decades to recoup their investments and brace for a non-nuclear future.
The explosions and other problems coming from the tsunami- stricken Japanese nuclear plant have created reverberations in the U.S. nuclear industry, said John Corn, vice president of the environmental services group at Tulsa-based Enercon Service Inc. Japan's nuclear plant explosions come as the U.S. government looks to expand its nuclear energy industry by offering companies tens of billions of dollars in financial backing. The U.S. nuclear power industry had been undergoing a nuclear renaissance. Now, fears about nuclear safety that took a generation to overcome after the accidents at Chernobyl and Three-Mile Island have resurfaced around the globe. Those fears are casting doubt on a controversial energy source that has seen resurgence in recent years, amid worries over volatile oil p...
AIKEN - Savannah River Site boosters continue to push for a piece of President Bush's global nuclear power plans.

The German power firms RWE and E.On backed out of a venture to build nuclear plants in the south, needed to provide cleaner burning energy in compliance with E.U. laws.

Americans snap up anti-radiation supplements CHICAGO -- Sales of Geiger counters and potassium iodide supplements that can block some radiation have surged nationwide since Friday, fueled by concerns among some Americans that radiation released from Japanese nuclear plants could spread to the United States. Potassium iodide supplements -- which can protect the thyroid gland if taken before or shortly after a person is exposed to radiation but do not protect other body parts or prevent damage from other radioactive substances -- were either sold out or selling quickly Tuesday at several stores. Meanwhile, companies that sell Geiger counters have been overwhelmed with orders. Obama defends nuclear energy WASHINGTON - - President Barack Obama on Tuesday defended the use of nuclear energy...
