Report: Japan likely to win $20 billion nuclear deal in Turkey

The first 20 Billion $ nuclear deal was won by a Russian-Turkish consortium.
In total, there will be built 3 projects through private company participation in international tenders.
The 3rd tender has not been opened, we are currently in the process of awarding the 2nd tender.

The provinces where these 3 projects will be built.

The first tender (awarded and deal signed):
It will be 4 * 1.200 MW units, with the first unit coming online in 2016.

The Russians will built units of the VVER-1200 type.
It is the latest generation of Russian nuclear technology.
These units are not built in Russia so far, but the Russian Federation has given go-ahead to build 8 of these new units between 2011-2015 within Russia:

In 2014 we will see the first 100 MW indigenous prototype reactor.
It's development costs 1.93 Billion $ and the development budget has been granted in 2007.

Toshiba , the Japanese electronics and engineering group, says it is confident that it will seal a deal to build a nuclear power plant on Turkey's Black Sea coast (...)
“They are looking for someone to build the plants, run them, and sell the electricity to recoup the initial costs,” Mr Sasaki said

Toshiba will shoulder the investment on its own with Japanese Government financial support.
Turkey will give long-term guarantee of State purchase of the electricity.
The talks will have to be finalized by March. The 2nd nuclear tender is exclusively in cooperation with Japan.
If by March there is no agreement, the 2nd tender will be opened to internation companies.

There will be 20 Billion $ investments resulting from the 1st nuclear plant.
By March there might be finalized another deal of approximately 20 Billion $ in Foreign Direct Investments by Toshiba + Japanese Government into Turkey resulting from 2nd nuclear plant.

Itochu Corp., Japan’s fourth-largest trading company, has also joined Toshiba.
Tokyo Electric Power is asked by Japanese government to also join the consortium.
Japan Bank for International Cooperation will give loans to the consortium to build the 5.400 MW nuclear plant.

Saint Petersburg-based AtomEnergoProekt (AEP) reported that it has completed the registration of the contract to carry out engineering and surveying for Turkey's first nuclear power plant. A team of geologists and engineers is scheduled to leave for Turkey in early March, the company added.
The engineering and survey work is expected to be completed by mid-July 2012.

Analysts Debate the Safety of Nuclear Power Plants
March 11, 2011 - Authorities in Japan have evacuated the area around a nuclear power plant after its reactor's cooling system failed following Friday's massive earthquake. Pressure began building overnight at the Fukushima Daiichi plant north of Tokyo, prompting officials to consider venting radioactive vapor on Saturday. The situation has prompted analysts to debate whether nuclear power is safe to use in earthquake-prone regions.

Japan has 55 nuclear power plants that produce nearly one-third of the country’s electrical output. Its also lies in one of the most seismically active zones in the world, known as the Pacific Ring of Fire. Nuclear waste specialist Kevin Kamps at nuclear watchdog Beyond Nuclear says these two factors put Japan at a big risk. "An earthquake that damages multiple levels of the safety systems can lead to a troubled situation very quickly." Kamps said the worst case scenario for the Fukushima Daiichi plant would be what happened at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine in 1986, when the radioactivity escaped to the outside environment, causing environmental and health hazards across portions of Europe. He said Japan should consider other energy options.

"There are much safer sources of electricity; renewables, like wind and solar, could not suffer catastrophic disasters like this that endanger entire regions with hazardous radioactive releases." Analyst Jeremy Gordon with the World Nuclear Association, however, said overall the situation is not one in which Japan would need to abandon this major source of electricity. He said Japan's nuclear plants are built with multiple safety layers and earthquakes in mind. "The engineering standard goes so far beyond what you would ever expect, and the regulations go far beyond what you would ever expect. The end result is that the power plants are extremely robust."

Gordon said a powerful earthquake that struck the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant in 2007 is an example of the effectiveness of nuclear power plant safety measures. "They were hit really hard and there was damage within the plant and it took a long time to repair everything. But the safety system stayed in place and there was no nuclear risk from that earthquake." Kamps said the Fukushima Daiichi situation, though, should be a wake-up call to the Japanese government and the world about the dangers of nuclear power plants. This can include radiological contamination of the environment and genetic damage, cancer and a wide spectrum of disease within people. "A nuclear disaster anywhere is a nuclear disaster everywhere. We saw that at Chernobyl with significant nuclear fallout blanketing Europe in all directions for many hundreds of miles. We even saw fallout here in the United States," said Kamps.

But Gordon believes Japan has no other sustainable energy options. "It's been using nuclear power since 1966 and its main reason for doing that is because it doesn’t have any energy resources of its own at home. It doesn't have coal. It doesn't have gas. So it needs a sustainable and controllable domestic source of energy." Greenpeace nuclear policy analyst Jim Riccio says the consequences of nuclear power need to be considered. "I think it's a good reminder, we've been focusing a lot lately on the downsides of nuclear in terms of its finances, there are other downsides beside the financial downside, potential for a meltdown and I think it should give people pause before they pursue new reactors here in the United States and around the world." The International Atomic Energy Agency estimates that 20 percent of the world's nuclear reactors are in areas of significant seismic activity.

Germans Protest Nuclear Power
March 12, 2011 - In the background of growing concern about the risk posed by Japan's earthquake-damaged nuclear reactors, thousands of Germans have protested against a government plan to extend its reliance on nuclear power as an energy source.

Organizers say tens of thousands of people formed a 45-kilometer-long human chain Saturday between a nuclear plant at Neckarwestheim and the southern city of Stuttgart, an industrial hub.

Activists at the rally voiced strong opposition to Germany's decision last year to keep its 17 nuclear plants running for an average of 12 extra years.

On Saturday, the main opposition Social Democrats used the accident in Japan to call for a change in Germany's nuclear policy.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has argued in favor of nuclear energy.

Well, by now the stupid Japs should be used to radiation. Make sure you put that shit near a fault line so you can fuck up the ecosystem further! Great choice!

How is any of that shit remotely responsible? You need nuclear energy like a fucking hole in the head. Soon the entire ME will be nuclear weaponized. Only a matter of time. Answer the fucking question Turk boy? Have you NOT been keeping up with Fukishima? And now you want some Japs to get some nuclear plants humming in Turkey? Do you realize that there are 22 incidents of uranium smuggling on the books coming across your borders! WTF?

With the money you borrow you can pay the interests for the money you borrowed from China.
We are building nuclear powerplants amongst other things with the money we earn.

Wait, you think every country in the ME will have Nuclear weapons ??

Saudi, Iran, Turkey, probably. It's a natural progression as long as the U.S. supports it. If the U.S sign's off then it's a done deal. I doubt the Turks will be playing with nukes soon but I find it ironic that the same Japan whose stupid reactors are poisoning the stupid planet are in on this deal, LOL.
