Re: Power Plant was declared bankrupt.

[Emil <kerrembaev@YAHOO.COM>]

Greetings.



As I remember it is BN-350 (BN = Fast Neutron:

350 megawatt electrical output) "Breeder" type

reactor plant was used to supply production of

the fresh water from the Caspian Sea.

1. Reduced demand for the electricity = people

are drinking/used less water? 

2. Breeders have low (positive) fuel cost

fraction because of their "An expanding fuel

cycle model" = They produce more fuel than they

burn .

3. What do they do with the accumulating "new"

fuel???? It is not a weapon grade but it is still

a highly enriched PU.



Emil.



P.S.



One thing when a radiography companyor medical

with goes bankrupt, another thing when a Breeder

Reactor after working up for 25 years.



First case: A few of Co or Cs sources get lost

and destroyed before the local agency recover it

or in case of medical company the IAEA fetchs a

high mountain rescue recovery expedition.



Second case: a few hundreds tons of Pu get lost

and never recovered.....

IAEA are you listening or you are so busy chasing

empty artillery shells down south......

ALMATY, Kazakhstan AP - Jan 16 - The only nuclear



power plant in the 

former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan was declared



bankrupt Thursday 

by a court after accumulating unbearable debts. 



The Mangyishlak plant in western Kazakhstan was 

driven into the red 

because of reduced demand for energy and low 

prices enforced by local 

anti-monopoly authorities there, said Valikhan 

Asambayev, who was 

appointed to bring the plant back to 

profitability.
