Ankara (Reuters)-Japan and Turkey reached agreement on nuclear cooperation on Friday, confirmed that the Alliance of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. of Japan and France Areva SA will receive orders to build four nuclear reactors in Turkey.

The agreement was made at a bilateral summit meeting between Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Abkhaz Prime Minister of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara.

Turkey is planning to build four nuclear reactors in the Black Sea coast in 2023, as reported Jiji Press.

Japan no longer exporting nuclear reactors since the tsunami disaster which caused the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant number 1 belongs to the Tokyo Electric Power Co. 's in March 2011.

But now, the Government is eager to sell Abe reactors abroad again.

Demand for the construction of nuclear power plants is growing overseas, while the latest construction project is currently not approved in Japan that might still be in the midst of a crisis of NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS in the Northeast, according to Jiji Press report.

We hope the Government will soon decide to halted construction NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS

Taipei (Reuters)-Taiwan's main opposition party, Tuesday, calling for the construction of nuclear power plants (NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS)--long overdue--was discontinued along with the associated safety factor extends unjukrasa.

Build a nuclear installation in the fourth debate, which was never completed for 14 years, heating up along with the addition of the Taiwan Parliament's plan to review the budget reached 40 billion Taiwan dollars (Rp13,57 trillion) for the project.

"We hope the Government will soon decide to halted construction of the NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS rather than approve the supplementary budget," said Democratic Progressive Party Chairman Su Tseng-chang,.

Related concerns Taiwan's Atomic installations peaked after the earthquake had a magnitude of 9 on the Richter scale which struck Japan accompanied by tsunamis on March 11, 2011, thus damaging the nuclear installation in Fukushima.

Based on information Organizer, as many as 50 thousand people from 100 civilian group is scheduled to hold a protest in Taiwan on March 9, the upcoming to urge the Government to learn from the disaster that happened in Japan.

Taiwan's Government previously stated is unlikely to shut down three NUCLEAR PLANTS them or stop the construction of the fourth, as the island is heavily dependent on energy imports.

The construction of the fourth NUCLEAR POWER PLANT began in 1999 and is scheduled to be completed in 2004. But the political debate resulted in the controversial project was delayed so long.

Taiwan's three NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS are owned now-meet about 20 percent of electricity needs of the island. The Government of Taiwan claimed that the installation of anti-seismic design has been applied to the whole of the installation after the disaster that happened in Japan.

As with Japan, the earthquake-prone Taiwan also belongs to because the island lies between two tectonic plates.

In 1999 alone, 7.6 magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale killed at least 2,400 people in a natural disaster, the largest of the island's history.

United Nations (Reuters)-the Security Council of the United Nations (DK-UN), Tuesday, denounced the nuclear test North Korea carried out a third time and was determined to take action against Pyongyang.

"The members of the Security Council condemned vigorously these trials, which is a violation of the resolutions of the Security Council," said South Korea's Foreign Minister Kim Sung-hwan, told reporters, Reuters reported.

South Korea currently is President of the Security Council's monthly.

The Council statement was agreed upon when he did, the trial closed the emergency dituanrumahi by South Korea.

End of Cold War-era nuclear bomb

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
25 October 2011 Last updated at 20:24 GMT The huge B53 bears the distinctive design of an air-delivered bomb The last of America's most powerful Cold War-era nuclear bombs - the B53 - has been dismantled in Texas.

Experts have separated around 300lb (136kg) of high explosives from the bomb's uranium "pit".

Weighing 10,000lb, the B53 was the size of a minivan and said to be 600 times more destructive than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, in 1945.

It was first put into service at the height of the Cold War in 1962, and remained in the US arsenal until 1997.

The bomb was designed to hit targets deep underground, such as bunkers in which military and civilian leaders might be sheltering.

Carried by B-52 bombers, the "bunker busters" used five parachutes to land softly on their targets before detonating a nine megaton explosion, in effect simulating an earthquake.

They have been superseded by bombs that burrow into the ground and then explode.

The first B53s were destroyed in the 1980s but several remained in service until 1997, when they were all retired.

'Significant milestone'

A dismantling program had to be specially designed for the B53s, which were made with older technology and by scientists who have since retired or died.

Continue reading the main story

The B53 was a weapon developed in another time for a different world. Today, we're moving beyond the Cold War nuclear weapons complex”

End Quote Thomas D'Agostino National Nuclear Security Administration The US Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has said the program, which was completed once this final bomb had been dismantled, is a year ahead of schedule.

The head of the NNSA, Thomas D'Agostino, called the decomissioning of the last B53 a "significant milestone".

"The world is a safer place with this dismantlement," he said.

"The B53 was a weapon developed in another time for a different world. Today, we're moving beyond the Cold War nuclear weapons complex that built it toward a 21st Century nuclear security enterprise."

After disassembly, the uranium pits from the bomb will be temporarily stored at the Pantex plant near Amarillo, Texas, where Tuesday's dismantling was carried out.

The plant is the only nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility in the US.

The plant is likely to be involved with future disassembly projects as older weapons are retired.

According to figures released by the US state department in May 2012, the US has 5,113 nuclear warheads in its current stockpile, down from 31,255 in 1967.

N Korea-US nuclear talks to begin

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
23 October 2011 Last updated at 21:26 GMT By Imogen Foulkes BBC News, Geneva The US wants North Korea to commit to nuclear disarmament before talks can resume The US and North Korea are due to hold talks in Geneva, aimed at restarting stalled nuclear negotiations.

Six-party discussions involving North and South Korea, China, Russia, Japan and the US broke down in April 2009 when North Korea walked out.

One month later, North Korea tested its second nuclear weapon, which was followed by increased tension on the Korean peninsula.

But diplomats are warning against expecting too much from the talks.

Although both sides say they want the six-party negotiations on North Korea's nuclear programme to resume, they disagree on the terms: North Korea has suggested they restart without preconditions while the United States wants a firm commitment from Pyongyang to disarm first.

But the fact these talks are taking place at all is a sign of improved relations since the dark days of 2009, when North Korea tested its second nuclear weapon, and 2010, when North Korean attacks along its disputed border with the South killed 50 South Koreans.

Washington and Pyongyang have just agreed to resume searching for the remains of American soldiers killed in the Korean war of the 1950s, and in July, the foreign ministers of North and South Korea met for the first time in three years.

So although it seems unlikely there will be a swift resumption of the six-party negotiations, the talks in Geneva are being viewed as another positive step.

At the very least, it is suggested, they may encourage North Korea not to proceed with a rumoured third nuclear test.

Siemens to quit nuclear industry

  Siemens will continue to work in the power industry but drop out of the nuclear sector German industrial and engineering conglomerate Siemens is to withdraw entirely from the nuclear industry.

The move is a response to the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan in March, chief executive Peter Loescher said.
He told Spiegel magazine it was the firm's answer to "the clear positioning of German society and politics for a pullout from nuclear energy".
"The chapter for us is closed," he said, announcing that the firm will no longer build nuclear power stations.
A long-planned joint venture with Russian nuclear firm Rosatom will also be cancelled, although Mr Loescher said he would still seek to work with their partner "in other fields".
Siemens was responsible for building all 17 of Germany's existing nuclear power plants.
But more recently, the firm has limited itself to providing the non-nuclear parts of plants being built by other firms, including current projects in China and Finland.
The latest decision appears to imply a step back from building "conventional islands" - the non-nuclear plant in nuclear power stations - an area in which Siemens has remained active.
However, Mr Loescher also said Siemens would continue to make components, such as steam turbines, that are used in the conventional power industry, but can also be used in nuclear plants.
U-turn
He also gave his backing to the German government's planned switch to renewable energy sources, calling it a "project of the century" and claiming Berlin's target of reaching 35% renewable energy by 2020 was achievable.
The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, announced at the end of May that all of the country's 17 nuclear reactors would be shut down by 2022.
Before the Fukushima disaster, nuclear power accounted for 23% of electricity production in Germany.
The German government's decision marked a complete U-turn by the chancellor, who only in September 2010 had announced that the life of existing nuclear plants would be extended by an average of 12 years.
Siemen's move, announced on Sunday, is also a turnaround.
In 2009, the firm withdrew from an eight-year-old nuclear joint venture with French energy firm Areva, shortly before announcing its new deal with Rosatom.
"In view of global climate change and the increasing power demand worldwide, for us nuclear energy remains an essential part of a sustainable energy mix," Mr Loescher had said at the time.
