Me puedes decir cual es la noticia y el por que el titulo del hilo es tan sensacionalista?

Que Mariano no ha dicho nada sobre la energia nuclear y nosequien ha publicado un informe?
Donde esta la causa-efecto?

Hola amigos, como ya os dije...he entrado en la web oficial de GE Nuclear Hitachi y si...es verdad que han firmado un acuerdo para seguir manteniendo Cofrentes y Garoña.

El documento es escueto, un pdf de tres paginas, donde se dedican mas que nada a hacer la pelota a las eléctricas, sacar pecho y poco mas. Ni un comentario acerca de si se va a revisar mas profundamente el Mark I con que esta equipada la CN de Garoña, ni una linea dedicada a las innumerables grietas que tiene en la zona de las penetraciones de las barras de control, ni una frase refiriéndose a que tiene roto el "barrilete" (elemento estructural interno que es el encargado de acoger a los racks con las barras de uranio, ni un apartado referente a exigir que se equipe mas y mejor en cuanto a impedir posibles "blackouts" (faltas de suministro eléctrico)...en fin, BUSINESS es BUSINESS

GEH to Enhance Reliability of Spains Cofrentes and S.M. Garona Stations[1].pdf

GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy to Help Ensure Long-term Availability of Spain’s
Cofrentes and Santa María de Garoña Nuclear Power Plants

WILMINGTON, N.C.—November 2, 2011—Spain’s Iberdrola and Nuclenor have awarded GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) with multi-year services contracts to help ensure the long-term reliability, availability and safe operation of the Cofrentes and Santa María de Garoña nuclear power plants.
The Cofrentes station, located in the province of Valencia and owned by Iberdrola, generates power using a GE boiling water reactor (BWR) that began operating in 1985. The Cofrentes station is one of the largest of Spain’s eight nuclear power plants and generates nearly 5 percent of Spain's electricity.
The S.M. Garoña station, located in the province of Burgos and owned by Nuclenor, uses a GE BWR that has been in operation since 1971. It has achieved numerous awards due to its excellent efficiency and capacity factors. Nuclenor is split-owned by Iberdrola and Endesa.
“Iberdrola is committed to the long-term reliability of our Cofrentes and Garoña Nuclear Power Plants, which plays such a vital role in Spain’s national energy security,” said Diego Molina, Iberdrola’s chief nuclear officer. “This is why it is so important to work with service providers like GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy, which has the expertise and experience with both stations to help us meet our operational goals.”
“With nuclear energy being one of the only near-zero carbon sources of baseload electricity, the plants also are playing a key role in our efforts to combat climate change by helping the country avoid the annual emission of about 9 million tons of carbon dioxide,” Molina noted.
Under terms of the six-year, multi-cycle services agreement—which contains options to extend the agreement to 10 years—GEH will provide a broad scope of outage and refueling services to ensure the optimal performance of the stations, including:

? Drywell and vessel head disassembly/assembly

? Reactor pressure vessel (RPV) maintenance

? Visual and ultrasonic Inspections

In addition, GEH and the utilities intend to establish the needed infrastructure to promote more effective collaboration between the two companies, including a new steering committee, a leadership
group, an asset management plan and an engineering consulting program. For example, the GEH Iberdrola steering committee and the Cofrentes staff will develop an RPV asset plan and risk management strategy.

GENUSA, the European BWR fuel joint venture between Global Nuclear Fuel (GNF) and Spanish nuclear fuel company ENUSA, will provide nuclear fuel reloads under a separate agreement. GNF is the GE
majority-owned fuel fabrication and fuel engineering services venture jointly established by GE, Hitachi and Toshiba.
“GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy looks forward to extending our decades-long relationship with Iberdrola, Nuclenor and their staffs as our new agreement creates an even deeper level of collaboration than
ever before,” said Kevin Lagasse, senior vice president of global nuclear services for GEH. “Our agreement is just the latest example of how we support the optimal performance and output of nuclear power plants around the world.”

About Nuclenor
Nuclenor is a public limited company with a 50 percent participation of the companies Endesa and Iberdrola. It is the owner of the Santa María de Garoña nuclear power plant, a GE BWR with 466 MWe power that started its commercial operation in March 1971. Since the beginning of operation until the
end of 2010 the plant had generated more than 125,000 million kWh. In 2010, Santa María de Garoña’s production was equivalent to a little over 6 percent of the Spanish nuclear production, with a load factor (production) of 94 percent, which is higher than the average for nuclear power plants with the same technology.

Ahora mismo tenemos una capacidad productiva aun mayor, y muchas centrales de ciclo combinado cerradas y recibiendo subvenciones y esta gente esta pensando en construir alguna nueva central...DE LOCOS.

Dudo muchísimo que el PP vaya abrir semejante melón con el agujero negro que tiene en la economía. Y después de Fukushima menos.

Rajoy no puede cabrear tan gratuitamente a la opinión pública cuando tiene que ejecutar determinados diktat que podrían muy bien terminar con él siendo sacado en helicóptero de la Moncloa en dirección a un exilio dorado en Marruecos.

No habrá nuevas centrales, lo que quieren realmente es una prórroga indefinida para Garoña pero como queda feo decirlo salen con lo del "hacen falta nuevas centrales..." cuando saben perfectamente que no hay dinero ni público ni privado...

Es la estrategia de siempre

...menos mal que el PSOE cumplió con su promesa electoral del 2008 y cerró Garoña...

...oh wait...no la han cerrado tampoco.
