1st of all we have to show our foreign partners that we can create safe and productive nuclear power plants those that we present to them as reference so that they can build them in their countries so we create these reference plants in russia and the 2nd reason is that president putin said the trend towards increasing the share of nuclear energy in the total production of energy in russia i think that in russia and in u.s. nuclear energy accounts for about 19 percent of all energy produced in the absolute champion in this respect of course france where nuclear energy accounts for 75 percent of all energy produced we don't wish to energy units at one nuclear power plants and there are a couple of other energy units launching 2 that we're building nuclear units at the core sky nuclear power plant and as you said we decide to build 5 more energy units has that coronavirus slowed any of this down. news crew oil got on those vehicles that's also why you really are near the well to tell you the truth kevin 1000 did have some effect on our progress in the 1st half of 2020 we did not complete the

a nuclear power plant right on the southern border. for my yankee welcome to romano. if people think that there is a radioactive problem at this plant in vermont are vermont brandis done. to drink our milk who's going to want to who's going to want to use our sear who's going to want to come here and drive past that. you know oh no oh no my dad has to go right now no yes no no i am not yankees as you know shut it out shout it out there are not yankees i'm saying we know right now shut down shut it down very much yankee town that's in doubt. there is no source of energy in this world that doesn't have risk associated with it in nuclear it is very very loud. so i feel it's a very safe technology our job is to protect public health and safety and never have an accident that jeopardizes public health or safety so that's with us every day people like me come in here in the 650 men and women that work here that is our focus the safe operation of this plant. i live right across the street from vermont yankee and they've always been a good neighbor i have children that go to t

i live 70 miles from the vermont yankee nuclear power plant and what that means in terms of any sort of incident or accident that might happen in that plant is that if it was a serious incident most likely i would no longer be able to live in my home the whole area would be contaminated if you look from fukushima. i would lose my home and my community where i've been for the last 30 years of my life and i would have to relocate to some other place it would be a complete disaster. people shouldn't have to live with that sort of risk that's not acceptable. i have a passion for justice. there's always a lot of organizing work to be done our area and that's the way i have lived my life i'm frances crow. and i live in northampton massachusetts i 93 years out and i've been involved in trying to say no to this finding of the adam and all of the consequences of it since 1945 when i heard about hiroshima on the radio i am a member of the shut it down affinity group a group of women that came together to shut down for me with our batteries and action is that hot yes ok we meet once a month we h

our guests in just a moment but 1st let's remind you of what happened at the fukushima nuclear power plant the site was destroyed by a powerful earthquake and tsunami that struck off the northeastern coast of japan in march of 2011 in the days that followed its cooling systems failed and tons of radioactive material leaked into the air and sea japan's government designated a large of vacuum ration zone around the plant and more than 150000 people were forced to leave their homes an extensive operation to decommission the plant is expected to take decades but the plant operator now says they're running out of space to store the contaminated water. let's bring in our guests now in amsterdam yan have account sr experts on nuclear energy and energy policy at greenpeace in tokyo michael prior president of the shin gets to news agency and also in tokyo tomohiko taniguchi a former special advisor to the cabinet oceans are also professor at the care university graduate school of system design and management welcome to you all i'd like to begin in tokyo with you tomohiko taniguchi the fact that the

and the rochas that fell to area they fell close by this power plant which raised concerns because it provides energy to all country and if there is an electricity cut across all as our bridge on that would be chaos and the same goes for our mania because as our big journeys since the 1st attack last july they threatened that if our media taxes are bridge and they would they would actually shoot the nuclear power plant in armenia so all these are actually concern for not only the locals but for all the international community if the a water reservoir explodes here 14 cities might be under water or if as our bridge on the source nuclear power plants in armenia that would be totally a disaster for everybody not only the 2 countries but all regional countries in the world all these are major concerns as escalation is rising and the weapons used in the in this war between a 1000000 forces and us are vigil forces are highly sophisticated compared to the war that was 30 years ago these are all concerns because it's all civilians in the residential areas the border. the context line between

today, houwever, the blessing i that they're exploring a different kind of power plant called small modular power generation. bill gates, new scale, others in the britain -- in great britain, rolls royce, for example, sent those in poland. so these new ways are coming online. they are suddenly awakening to the fact that it is the only way to get here today, the standards set for limiting growth and temperatures in the areas odd. >> i would just piggy back on that a little bit to saying without question one of the greats things to happen to the united states happened recently becoming an energy have instead of an energy have not particularly where oil and gas are concerned. i think that is a tremendous technical, technological achievement that has really placed the united states in aings these issues. i'm old enough to remember the early days of the 70s where i would get up to line up at the gas station to get a couple gallons of gases. they tech tear of energy, the responsibility for managing the entire spectrum and up with twor particular aspects of the energy portfolio. until recently the

it's like you have a 24 hour power plant on seven days a week. that's a virtual power plant. i want to make sure we don't get off on the wrong foot with this presentation, on this worthy grant proposal and call that a virtual power plant when it isn't one. so i just want to make sure to put that clarification forward. those are my comments. thank you. >> thank you for your comments. can you please put the next caller through. >> thank you very much. [inaudible] >> i want to thank you for the presentation and thank chair fewer for the allocation of time. sometimes it's very useful, which is why we ask for it, but i will not use it on this item. i really just want to say you know, my major point is that the pcia fee going up the way it has in the last five years is normal business, like what we've been seeing nationally over the last several years with legislation restricting voting. it's normal democracy. it's something that should be called out and stop being treated as business as usual. to that end, i guess i would say that the normal process is sending a couple lobbyist to
