Garona, a battle beyond the Ebro
Soria calls "close review" nuclear - The extension would be the first great achievement of the sector in Europe after Fukushima
Rafael Mendez Madrid 30 DIC 2011
In December 2010, the utility owns the Oyster Creek Nuclear Power (New Jersey, USA) announced that it closed ahead to 2019. Was allowed to operate until 2029, but the State was required to build a cooling tower to not overheat the bay to which they pour water that cools the reactor. Christopher M. Crane, chief nuclear power company owner, Exelon, told The New York Times to install cooling towers "would cost significantly more than the current value of the plant." Oyster Creek is what the Nuclear Safety Council (CSN) regarded as "central reference Garoña." It has the same design and manufacturer and opened in 1969, just two years before the center of Burgos, so the CSN look attentively the steps that the United States.
Germany, Italy, Belgium and Switzerland have slowed the progress of this energy
If it extends the life of the plant Burgos, the rest will have no problems
Right now walk backwards. Industry Minister, José Manuel Soria, opened yesterday in Onda Cero the door to a life extension of nuclear power. "No decision made about it," he said, but noted that he is to prolong the operational life of the plant. I do not support, he said, "five years underutilized capacity" of Garona. In his view, close nuclear "is an under-a type of energy that is already written off in terms of installation, which, therefore, should be reviewed."
The plant is allowed to run until 2013 and to extend it until 2019-as requested by the power of the PSOE Government, Industry should repeal two points of the ministerial order of closure and ask the Council for Nuclear Safety REQUIREMENTS that the plant needs to extend life.
The process is long and cumbersome, but it is difficult to imagine what those works. The CSN and in 2009 authorized the renewal of Garoña provided isolate the control room and renew dozens of kilometers of cables. These conditions were recalled because the plant would not operate so long. Now you should also incorporate measures derived from the nuclear crisis unleashed by the earthquake and tsunami of March 11 in Fukushima (Japan), which include building a new shelter building workers. For now, utilities own Garona (Endesa and Iberdrola to 50%) did not show signs of thinking like Exelon, no sign of them seem too expensive, the effort is worthwhile. Between 1999 and 2009, for his first major extension, invested 169 million euros, according to the plant. And now they should return to make a spectacular payout. That, to a central only 466 megawatts (average reactor Spain has about 1,000) and which in principle could work only six years (actually even less time operation because some of the works are carried out with the central stop). Why in Spain would leave the accounts and not in the U.S.?
Industry sources close to the PP give an answer: "In Garoña there is more at stake than economic interest." The nuclear industry believes that if at the worst time for the industry since Chernobyl is achieved extended beyond 40 years a plant identical to the first reactor of Fukushima, the other plants have no problems in extending life. The following is turning 40 Almaraz, 2021.
Moreover, while Germany, Italy, Belgium and Switzerland have taken steps backward in its nuclear program since the accident in Japan, even in France, the nuclear-armed country in the world, has begun the nuclear debate, 'Spain is an example of resistance. An extension of Garoña be the first tangible victory of the atomic industry in Western Europe.
Rajoy's support for nuclear is not new. In 2009, after a visit to Garoña said: "With the PP in the government, Garona is not going to close." Fukushima After the PP has not been so complete, but yesterday the President of Castilla y León, Juan Vicente Herrera popular, said that nothing has changed in the popular position: "I have no reason intranquilicen me," said the defender of the continuity of the plant. Environmentalists, the PSOE, ICV and criticized Equo any extension.
Garona and site selection for nuclear waste storage are the only nuclear decisions ahead for the PP government. So if Rajoy wants to show his conviction that nuclear is a great opportunity. As in many other things, Europe looks at Rajoy.
