[ RadSafe ] Nuclear Power in Utah?

Radsafe:

    You mean 10,000 MWe, not 100,000 MWe, right???

AP1000's produce much less power  than a normal nuclear power plant.  They 
are expected to have about 1000  MWe for a single reactor vs. 100,000 MWe 
for the older reactors.  This  allows the small modular reactors to be placed 
in areas with smaller energy  demands.  And if the demand/population grows 
another reactor can be built  and added to the grid.  It would be pretty 
exciting if these got off the  ground in the US.

Jennifer

Joe, not  only your well-taken comment, I wonder how they  would build  the 
distribution system to get the power to where it is  needed, and last  I 
looked, there isn?t much of a demand in Utah!  Normally units are built close 
to the area that it wishes to serve. Now it  could be possible that  the 
current grid in the area is able to ship he  power to where it is  needed, but 
what is around Utah where there is an  energy  demand?

Radsafe,

Utah is earthquake  country.  Read about it in  Bolt's book   on
earthquakes.  No tsunami hazard, thank goodness.   Bad   idea to build a
nuclear plant
in Utah???  Engineer  it very  well....

Thanks  Brent,

This would be  a real achievement if  it ever gets off the ground.  
However, with  the politics out west,  including Utah, there is a strong   
anti-nuclear stance and seriously  doubt that this project has any legs  to  stand 
on. I hope that I am   wrong!

Joe, could be in all directions.  California?s demand has dropped over the
years, even to the point where the  San Onofre Nuclear Plant has been
shutdown without any apparent  ramifications.

Sandy/Radsafe,

Wonder if the power will be sent to  California???  An  updated/revised
version of the USGS USA Seismic risk map  is probably  on the USGS website
now.
