  Germany should rethink nuclear plan -RWE chief | Markets | Reuters 

  http://uk.reuters.com/article/oilRpt/idUKL2523298820071125

  FRANKFURT, Nov 25 (Reuters) - German utility RWE's (RWEG.DE: Quote , Profile , Research ) new chief executive, Juergen Grossmann, said in a newspaper interview the country should rethink its nuclear-exit ... plan drawn up seven years ago between the government and power producers. "The decision was taken under different assumptions," Grossmann said in the summary of the story, due to be published on Monday by business daily Handelsblatt. "A barrel of oil cost between $20 and $30 at the time und climate protection was not on the agenda, today we are much more advanced," he said. Grossmann referred to record oil at just under $100 a barrel, which increases cost pressures on energy producers, and to the latest investment pledges by utilities in renewable energy research and assets so as to protect the environment. In return, they should be allowed to keep their nuclear plants open longer, he said. Much is at stake for RWE, whose Biblis B reactor is next to close under the programme, in 2008,   [More...] [Less...]

  http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/11/12/business/EU-FIN-Sweden-Vattenfall.php

  STOCKHOLM, Sweden : Swedish utility Vattenfall AB on Monday said it has started recruitment for a new position of chief nuclear officer as a means toward improving the safety of its nuclear plants. The ... initiative was based on the analysis of events at the Forsmark nuclear power plant in Sweden last year, which revealed shortcomings in Vattenfall's safety work and safety culture. "As a consequence of what happened at Forsmark last year, Vattenfall's Board of Directors has made nuclear safety issues its top priority in 2007. Safe operations, whether in our nuclear business or elsewhere, is at the top of my mind," said the chairman of the board, Dag Klackenberg. The nuclear officer will be the group's most senior controller in nuclear safety issues and the new nuclear expert of the executive group management. He will report directly to Vattenfall's President and Chief Executive Lars Josefsson. The two reactors at Forsmark have been plagued with problems, including a shutdown in July after   [More...] [Less...]
