  4. How 'peaceful' nuclear energy gave us weapons (and still does)
    It's Complicated

    #ItsComplicated - Civil #NuclearPower is thought to be about providing a low carbon energy alternative to fossil fuels, not #NuclearWar. But the closer you look these two industries are intrinsically linked for nuclear-armed countries.

    "Josh Toussaint-Strauss investigates how the connection between civil nuclear power and nuclear weapons spans decades and continents as well as exposes siphoning of public money and the origins of the Iran nuclear program.

    "Nuclear weapons and nuclear power share a common history, similar technologies, skills and research and development. For example, the process of enriching #uranium to make it into fuel for nuclear power stations is also used to make #NuclearWeapons. The UK’s first nuclear power stations were built primarily to provide fissile material for nuclear weapons during the #ColdWar.

    "The development of both the nuclear weapons and nuclear power industries is mutually beneficial. The UK government uses the #HinkleyPoint C nuclear power station to subsidise #Trident, Britain’s nuclear weapons system, and other nuclear-armed states are also striving to maintain expensive military infrastructures through the civilian industry.

    "After all, the civil nuclear power industry grew out of the #AtomicBomb programme in the 1940s and the 1950s. It was under the misleading slogan of ‘#AtomsForPeace’, that the US exported highly enriched uranium to countries around the world. Many of those countries went on to produce military nuclear weapons."

    US #NRC proposes fining #Urenco USA

    Staff writer, April 7, 2023

    "The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has proposed a $70,000 civil penalty for Urenco USA for two violations of agency requirements related to improperly implementing safety controls at its #EuniceNewMexico, #UraniumEnrichment plant.

    "The first violation occurred during a March 2022 event when plant staff found three construction vehicles parked near a building that handles #UraniumHexafluoride [#UF6] without physical barriers in place. The company notified NRC as required and the agency launched a special inspection in response and documented its findings.

    "Specifically, the company did not take enough precautions to prevent a potential accident sequence involving construction vehicles damaging the facility or the uranium hexafluoride inside – increasing the risk to plant workers and the public. Urenco USA was notified of the apparent violations in December 2022 and in a written response admitted the violations, and discussed plans for corrective actions. NRC said it had reviewed Urenco USA’s response and determined that, while the incidents did not result in the release of radioactive material, the potential safety consequences warrant the proposed fine. The company has 30 days to pay the proposed penalty or contest it. The NRC will consider any response from the company before making a final determination on the matter."
