Veicoli elettrici - mobilità - tecnologie - ambiente - energia rinnovabile. L'esaurimento delle risorse e le conseguenti ripercussioni politiche ed economiche rendono necessario ridurre la dipendenza dall'importazione di prodotti petroliferi e spingere quindi verso lo sviluppo di fonti energetiche alternative. I veicoli elettrici possono utilizzare tecnologie e risorse nel modo più efficiente.

Fuoco in una centrale nucleare svedese

La 'libera' informazione italiana tace...naturalmente.

Fire at Swedish nuclear power plant
Published: 11 Jul 08 14:37 CET

A fire broke out Friday on the roof of a turbine hall at a nuclear power plant on Sweden's west coast but was quickly extinguished and the reactor was never in danger, the plant said.
"There was a small fire and our internal fire brigade was able to put it out in just a few minutes," Gösta Larsen, a spokesman for the Ringhals plant, the largest nuclear plant in the Nordic region, told AFP.
"It was nothing dramatic at all," he said, acknowledging however that thick smoke had entered the turbine facility's ventilation system and set off external fire alarms that alerted several nearby fire brigades to rush to the scene.
The blaze started when roofers working on the building with torches accidentally set fire to roof materials.
Larsen said no evacuation was necessary and the reactor was never in danger.
The reactor "is in another building next door, with a metre thick cement wall in between," he added.
The Ringhals plant, located about 60 kilometres south of Sweden's second biggest city Gothenburg, has four reactors, including one boiling water and three pressurized water reactors.
The plant produces about 20 percent of all electricity consumed in Sweden.

Da Wikipedia. "Ringhals is a Swedish nuclear power plant with 4 reactors, three pressurized water reactors and one boiling water reactor. It is situated on the Värö Peninsula (Swedish: Väröhalvön) in Varberg Municipality approximately 60 km south of Gothenburg. With total power rating of 3560 MWe, it is the largest power plant in Sweden and generates 24 TWh of electricity a year, the equivalent of 20% of the electrical power usage of Sweden. It is owned 70% by Vattenfall and 30% by E.ON."
