Garoña overshadows nuclear future
The blackout decided by the plant sets a bad precedent for atomic energy

The nuclear de Garona, Spain's oldest and twin of Fukushima, last night finalizing its disconnection from the mains. Endesa and Iberdrola (owners of the plant to 50%) made the decision to shut down the plant and drain the fuel core to avoid a tax that unless urgent action from the Government, will take effect on January 1. The nuclear, opened in 1971, is allowed to run until July 2013 and had become a prime target of antinuclear. Its closure test not only the tension between power and the Government, but darkens the outlook on all nuclear, they struggled to overcome the damage of Fukushima.
About three in the afternoon, Garoña gradually started down the reactor power, which is necessary before moving on the next day to nuclear fuel storage pool. This is to prevent the rate from 2013 to 2190 euros taxed each kilo of uranium burned in the reactor. The tax, including the Ministry of Industry in energy reform was approved by the Senate on Thursday and Congress need to ratify this week.
According Nuclenor, the company that operates the plant, the reform will cost 153 million per year, in addition to the 120 million to invest in Fukushima derivative works, and that would include months of stop to erect two new buildings. The utilities argue that it is too much for a single 466 megawatt central, and to request the extension would only guarantee the operation until 2019. In 2011, Nuclenor declared a profit of 13.5 million. The numbers wield companies should be taken with caution. In 2010, after the Zapatero government decided that the plant would close in 2013, Nuclenor filed in the High Court a report on what kept the close win. If you close in 2019, loss of income would be 385.6 million euros, and if they do 1021.8 in 2029. The Court ruled out any compensation.
At the new rates would add 120 million in post-Fukushima works
Endesa and Iberdrola (especially the second) are delivered with a pulse Garoña the Government that, by now, has not subsided. In September and let pass the deadline to request an extension to the PP had put him on a platter.
"They sacrifice Garoña because they wanted to improve taxation for other nuclear" says Francisco Castejón, Ecologists in Action, he believes the tax argument is secondary: "If they put a tax on it can carry light and back. What happens is that they have no guarantee that the plant will operate continuously these years. " Castejón refers to problems in the nuclear vessel Belgian Doel, manufactured by the same company that made the Garoña.
Can still rectify the PP? The nuclear industry sees almost impossible. Deadlines are minimal as Nuclenor has announced that December 31 will be in the nuclear "operating terminate" if taxes do not change. On Thursday, Congress sees the law and can only ratify or undo the changes made in the Senate. The confrontation has come so far that require publicly electrical rectification desautorizaría Industry Minister Jose Manuel Soria. Government sources believe that what has happened is that utilities have met for the first time with a government that does not bend to his wishes. In the parliamentary proceedings, taxes affecting nuclear not only have not been lowered but have increased (from 6% to 7% levied generation).
Mayor: "In the region we feel helpless"
Even if the PP Amending the electricity sector is not used to losing pulses-, lack obtained the approval of the Nuclear Safety Council, which has so far been adamant about the inability to test the extension in just six months.
The closure is not a problem for the power sector as Garoña produces 1% of electricity in Spain and there is plenty of power installed. Its production is expected to be replaced by combined cycles idle (largely also owned by Endesa and Iberdrola).
The closure is mainly a political problem, another broken promise of Rajoy, who visited the plant in 2009 and promised to keep it open. The Junta de Castilla y León, the PP, made of extra flag. "It's the most ridiculous political Burgos. The PP got to put advertising on city buses by Garoña continuity, "says Gil Anderson, PSOE senator for the province.
Rafael Gonzalez, Mayor Tobalina Valley, where the central, yesterday expressed concern in the area: "The closure would mean for the whole region a major loss of jobs and taxes. We feel helpless. " Gonzalez, PP, recalled that in 2009 we designed a plan that does not exist reindustrialization.
Workers 491 -291 more direct subcontractors cope with anxiety-three years of uncertainty and conflicting reports. "We have fooled everyone," said Friday a member of the committee.
What happens to Garoña can make a path for the rest of the nuclear fleet. The utilities have begun to launch nuclear messages others can follow the same path as Garona and not even get to meet the 40 year life for which they were designed. For now, I Almaraz (Cáceres) recharging has delayed until January. The pulse continues.
Legal reforms contradictory
The Senate last week passed with the votes of the PP two contradictory things on the same subject. And he did it in two different laws passed in the same session. This is the fate of CO2 auctions, which begin in 2013 and may reach 1,000 million euros a year. According to energy reform, the first 500 million that auction will go to the electricity sector, and according to estimates 450 million will go to renewable and other climate change projects. Although the Executive insists that this formulation is that it, the two laws have the same rank and have been approved at a time. The case reveals the struggle between Industry, Environment and Finance for these funds.
Industry had tried to appropriate that money without knowledge of the Environment. He did it with an amendment in the Senate that gave 500 million auctions in the electricity sector. He had in mind that half the money should go to climate change projects.
When he learned Environment, agreed wording consistent with the European and stayed with 10% of the funds. But it was too late to introduce the amendment in the energy reform. He did so in the budget, with the consent of the other groups.
However, the different wording was living in another law, and to remove the PP needed the signatures of all the groups. Sensing the mess, the Socialists were opposed, because further believes that premiums for renewables should continue on the receipt. Jesus Alique, PSOE senator, says it is "a fudge tasting a disturbing lack of coordination between the PP, Industry, Finance and Environment."
