I have mentioned in previous blogs that attempts were made to design nuclear powered aircraft during the Cold War. Both the U.S. and the U.S.S.R.
I have been following with great interest the negotiations between Iran and the U.N. Security Council members including the U.S., U.K., France, Russia, China and Germany over the Iran nuclear program. Fearing that Iran may be working on the development of nuclear weapons, severe trade sanctions have been instituted against Iran.
I have mentioned in several blogs that Russia is working on the development of a major nuclear technology export business.
I blogged recently (Ukraine Cancelling Contract With Russia for Completion of Two Nuclear Power Reactors ) about Ukraine cancelling contracts with Russia for completion of nuclear reactors three and four at the Khmelnitsky nuclear power plant.
I have blogged recently about the problems that the British are having with their project to build two nuclear reactors for the Hinkley Point Nuclear Power Station in Somerset. They have contracted for the construction of French Areva reactors based on the European Pressurized Reactor (EPR) design.
