Nuclear chief: U.S. plants safer after Japan crisis	11.3.2013	Salt Lake Tribune
by Matthew Daly The Associated Press Published Mar 10, 2013 06:39PM MDT Washington • Two years after the nuclear crisis in Japan, the top U.S. regulator says American nuclear power plants are safer than ever, though not trouble-free. A watchdog group calls that assessment overly rosy. “The performance is quite good,” Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Allison Macfarlane said. All but five of the nation’s 104 nuclear reactors were performing at acceptable safety levels at the end of 2012, Macfarlane said, citing a recent NRC report. “You can’t engage that many r... ...

Short takes on the news	6.3.2013	Salt Lake Tribune
Published Mar 5, 2013 06:13PM MDT Nuclear bill melts down • Sometimes the words we most want to hear from a Utah lawmaker are, “Never mind.” That’s what Sen. Curt Bramble did late last week when he asked that his SB199 be withdrawn from this year’s legislative session. That was the bill that would have allowed the owners of any future nuclear power plant to start collecting ratepayers’ money to pay for one of those stupefyingly expensive machines well before the plant actually generated any power. Even if it never generated any ... ...

Senate spikes hot-button nuclear power bill	2.3.2013	Salt Lake Tribune
by Judy Fahys The Salt Lake Tribune Published Mar 1, 2013 06:21PM MDT Senators killed a controversial bill Friday to give a boost, with help from electric ratepayers, to Utah’s first proposed nuclear power plant. Sponsoring Sen. Curt Bramble told colleagues he was asking to bury SB199 because it wasn’t needed, and he pointed to a letter from the Public Service Commission saying its current regulations already account for nuclear power. But, by singling out the bill and guaranteeing it won’t rise again before the session ends March 14, the Provo Republican also sig... ...

Nuclear speculation	20.2.2013	Salt Lake Tribune
Published Feb 20, 2013 01:01AM MDT When the ink isn’t even dry before the sponsoring lawmaker starts distancing himself from a bill he just introduced, the possibility of that bill becoming law seems remote indeed. Which is good, because Sen. Curt Bramble’s SB199 is a horrible idea. The bill, dropped in the hopper at the behest of developers who just won’t give up the foolish idea of building a nuclear power plant on Utah’s Green River, would take the extraordinary step of allowing a power utility to start charging its customers... ...

by Judy Fahys The Salt Lake Tribune Published Feb 19, 2013 01:01AM MDT Utah’s first nuclear power plant would get a helping hand from electric ratepayers under a controversial new bill. But sponsoring Sen. Curt Bramble insists his SB199, written by advocates for the proposed Blue Castle nuclear plant, is only the starting point of a discussion that won’t go anywhere without hearty input from affected stakeholders — many of whom are already weighing in against the legislation. “The bill is not going to move in its current form,” said the Provo Republican, who wants... ...

Operator at Calif nuke plant disputes safety claim	7.2.2013	azcentral.com \| business
LOS ANGELES -- The utility that runs the troubled San Onofre nuclear power plant on the California coast sharply denied Thursday that it was aware of equipment problems linked to a 2012 tube break that released a trace of radiation. On Wednesday, Sen. Barbara Boxer pressed federal regulators to open an investigation at the plant after uncovering documents that she said suggest that Southern California Edison took engineering shortcuts and compromised safety.
