Only after the DPRK implements its commitment to abandon all nuclear weapons and existing nuclear programs in a verifiable manner, may we discuss the issue of a light-water reactor.

Nobutaka Machimura

If the U.S. is willing to offer sufficiently attractive inducements ... I don't think that North Korea will hold up future progress in order to get a commitment for a reactor right away.

Selig Harrison

I'm going to build a reactor, that's for sure.

Ron Ziegler

Clearly the North Korean desire is for a light-water reactor, and the North Korean desire is to retain a peaceful nuclear program.

James Leach

The reactor is better protected than the spent fuel pools. It might be that spent fuel is a more attractive target for our enemies than the reactor itself.

David Lochbaum

The biggest reactor to the productivity numbers will be the Fed. Productivity has been the safety valve for inflation.

Frederic Dickson

If (the vibration) met certain criteria, it caused Entergy to hold the reactor power ascension until their own engineers concluded they could go further. It's safe for them to stay at their current power level. They'll be completing that further analysis.

Diane Screnci

Don't get me wrong: I love nuclear energy! It's just that I prefer fusion to fission. And it just so happens that there's an enormous fusion reactor safely banked a few million miles from us. It delivers more than we could ever use in just about 8 minutes. And it's wireless!

William McDonough

It would be highly unusual for this to be caused by human error. Eighty to 90 percent of reactor incidents are due to system problems.

Jim Lay

In the case of thorium-based nuclear plants, India has one 40MW plant that has been in operation for the past 20 years. It is an experimental reactor and has provided the design inputs. Now the construction of a 500MW fast breeder reactor has been taken up.

Sudhinder Thakur

The (fast-breed reactor) program is at a prototype stage and not ready for inclusion in a list of India's civilian nuclear reactors.

Anil Kakodkar

They of course did (insist on a light-water reactor) and that of course is the stickiest part of any discussions.

Jim Leach

Two-and-half million curies of mostly localized radiation were released in the Chernobyl accident, ... There are five million curies in Pilgrim's reactor and 25 to 30 million curies of radiation in the spent-fuel pool. Most of that spent-fuel pool's radioactivity would be released into atmosphere if there was a fire, or 10 times the amount released in Chernobyl.

Gordon Thompson

We think that this new document is balanced in character, and it includes North Korea's right to peaceful atomic energy and the possibility in the long term of building a light-water nuclear reactor.

Alexander Alexeyev

It builds on the boiling water reactor and adds what are generally called passive safety features. It simplifies the overall operation of the plant to some degree.

Scott Burnell

We urge the DPRK not to restart its frozen nuclear facilities, including the five-megawatt reactor.

Lou Fintor

North Korea is not going to give up its demand for a light-water reactor in this round and that it be discussed first, before disarming.

Shen Dingli

It's not at all exotic. Every time you look at the water in a nuclear reactor, the bluish glow you see is radiation produced by charged particles moving faster than the speed of light in the water.

Donald Schneider

The North Koreans were using the Iranian example as well, saying that if they are allowed to keep a reactor, why can't we?

Jack Pritchard

We could add batch reactor ponds to save money. Let's see if we have a way to save a couple million.

Mark Prouty

We urge the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) not to restart its frozen nuclear facilities, including the five-megawatt reactor.

Lou Fintor

I don't detect among any of the parties a willingness to construct a light water reactor which will be a very expensive, very long-term type of project.

Christopher Hill

The Bush administration is keen to revive the U.S. civilian nuclear industry. It seems to me the only way the nuclear power industry in the U.S. can be revived is to get India to place some multibillion-dollar nuclear reactor contracts.
