He said the utility's timetable for introducing MOX into the five reactors at Sequoyah and Browns Ferry is 2018. Tuesday's public hearing, scheduled by the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration, will begin at 5:30 p.m. with an open house hour at the Chattanooga Convention Center. During this hour, the public may view informational materials. At 6:30 p.m., DOE will give a presentation on the draft supplemental environment impact statement, which it prepared with TVA. Afterward, participants may comment on the document. The comments will be recorded by a court reporter. The hearing is scheduled to end at 8 p.m. TVA directors tabled a decision on MOX use in April 2011, saying they would wait to see how it behaved during the Japan disaster. Golden said a different blend of MOX made from spent nuclear fuel and fresh uranium has been used in Europe for years, but not in the U.S. Duke abandoned its trial of a MOX blend at Catawba two-thirds of the way through the planned test. In early documents, Duke reported abnormal performance. Later, Duke officials said they would not resume the test because they had amassed all the technical information needed. At the August TVA board meeting, Ivan Maldonado, a University of Tennessee professor of nuclear engineering and a representative of the American Nuclear Society, urged the board to approve MOX use. TVA appears to be the only commercial utility indicating an interest in using theblendedfuel.

The TVA board met at the Northeast Alabama Community College in Rainsville, Alabama on AND TVA board and TVA continues to maintain its stated position against MOX use. In the public “listening session” at the start of the board meeting, the Alliance of Nuclear Accountability and several other organizations and individuals spoke about the foolishness of MOX testing and use by TVA and urged the agency to withdraw its consideration of MOX. ANA delivered a letter to board members pointing out problems with pursuit of MOX. TVA’s refusal to consider MOX use is a testimony to TVA’s independence and is a service to the US taxpayer and TVA should be congratulated for its position, according to the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability (ANA). Lack of any TVA board discussion of MOX is an indication of lack of interest by TVA in getting ensnarled in the negative technical, political and financial implications of weapons-grade MOX.

K 2NC Overview - Grammar There are unspoken rules in linguistics and politics called grammar. Grammar is an integral but unspoken assumption in text and narrative. Conceptualize grammars as engine pistons – bringing one up necessarily pushes the other down.Grammars are magnets – pushing one forward or increasing its magnetic field’s intensity pushes the other magnet away or to the background. House analogy - In America – the grammars of Settler-Master and Savage-Slave were created by gratuitous violence and are zero-sum. The Settler formation includes both conservative Right-wing forces, and left-wingers who liberalize and reform America. Progress and democratic deliberation happens by siphoning energy and flesh from the Savage-Slaves (in the form of land or the prison-industrial complex). However, the existence and expansion of the Settler-Master grammar cannot include the Indian or Black because that would destroy its coherence – American politics would cease to exist. The road to Black and Indian genocide was, and is, paved with good intentions and unspoken assumptions. 2NC/2NR - Kick Out We are not going for the Blackness portion of the debate. We will concede that Wilderson’s analysis of Blackness is flawed. However, this does not affect the Redness/Indian portion of the debate. All the zero-sum grammar work still applies, and they cannot cross-apply arguments because their evidence is very specific and we setup the delineation in the block. 2NC: Impact Wall The kritik outweighs and turns the aff Ethics - Ethics is the only tangible impact to debate – debaters should be held responsible for their in-round advocacies and political stances – ethics comes first because it forces students to reflect upon or use their ethical beliefs in the formulation of arguments and makes sure that inter-collegiate remains robust – that’s Duffy and Reid-Brinkley Endless Violence - The affhides and solidifies the American state of emergency for Blacks and Indians – even if they mitigate some of the impact in the short-term, externalities mean destruction will be shifted repeatedly Turns case – stabilizing Settler-Master society will produce more wars and conflicts in the future - any technological improvements will be employed for endless accumulation and ecological extinction 2NC: Link Wall Speech Ethics - The 1AC narration for USFG action is unethical because it uses the objective imperialist persona culminating in spectatorship and cycles of genocidal violence – that’s Reid-Brinkely Problem/Solution Protocol – their grammar starts from a rubric of problems that can be posed and conceptually solved by passing a plan. The aff’s academic enquiry through fake legislative antics creates political and psychic stability while crowding out the irreconcilable demands of Indigenism and Blackness. – that’sWilderson Denial Link - Their grammar crowds facilitates denial of ongoing and absent Savage-Slave genocide - that Wilderson and Reid-Brinkley New 2NC Impacts or Args: 1NR Args:Perm is impossible – grammars are antagonistic – pushing the aff towards the alt pushes the alt farther into oblivion Any solvent perm is severance, because it needs to sever links to the 1AC grammar, history, and political assumptions.

A. Only TVA was interested

Sohm 12

The Tennessee Valley Authority tentatively has agreed to work with the Department of Energy to try out MOX if it meets three criteria: It is operationally and environmentally safe; economically beneficial to TVA customers; and licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, TVA spokesman Ray Golden said in July.

He said the utility's timetable for introducing MOX into the five reactors at Sequoyah and Browns Ferry is 2018.

Tuesday's public hearing, scheduled by the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration, will begin at 5:30 p.m. with an open house hour at the Chattanooga Convention Center. During this hour, the public may view informational materials.

At 6:30 p.m., DOE will give a presentation on the draft supplemental environment impact statement, which it prepared with TVA.

Afterward, participants may comment on the document. The comments will be recorded by a court reporter. The hearing is scheduled to end at 8 p.m.

TVA directors tabled a decision on MOX use in April 2011, saying they would wait to see how it behaved during the Japan disaster.

Golden said a different blend of MOX made from spent nuclear fuel and fresh uranium has been used in Europe for years, but not in the U.S.

Duke abandoned its trial of a MOX blend at Catawba two-thirds of the way through the planned test. In early documents, Duke reported abnormal performance. Later, Duke officials said they would not resume the test because they had amassed all the technical information needed.

At the August TVA board meeting, Ivan Maldonado, a University of Tennessee professor of nuclear engineering and a representative of the American Nuclear Society, urged the board to approve MOX use.

TVA appears to be the only commercial utility indicating an interest in using theblendedfuel. It will be produced at the $4.86 billion MOX Fuel Fabrication Facility, now in its fifth year of construction in Aiken, S.C.

B. TVA is refusing to use the fuel

Clements 11/21/12

Columbia, SC – The Tennessee Valley Authority, the main nuclear utility that the Department of Energy is pursuing for use of plutonium fuel (MOX) made from surplus weapons plutonium, continues to stand up to DOE pressure to test and use the experimental MOX fuel.

The TVA board met at the Northeast Alabama Community College in Rainsville, Alabama on

TVA board and TVA continues to maintain its stated position against MOX use.

In the public “listening session” at the start of the board meeting, the Alliance of Nuclear Accountability and several other organizations and individuals spoke about the foolishness of MOX testing and use by TVA and urged the agency to withdraw its consideration of MOX. ANA delivered a letter to board members pointing out problems with pursuit of MOX.

TVA’s refusal to consider MOX use is a testimony to TVA’s independence and is a service to the US taxpayer and TVA should be congratulated for its position, according to the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability (ANA).

Lack of any TVA board discussion of MOX is an indication of lack of interest by TVA in getting ensnarled in the negative technical, political and financial implications of weapons-grade MOX. Comments on the edge of the board meeting indicate TVA is not now considering MOX use.

2NC Overview - Grammar

There are unspoken rules in linguistics and politics called grammar. Grammar is an integral but unspoken assumption in text and narrative.

Conceptualize grammars as engine pistons – bringing one up necessarily pushes the other down.Grammars are magnets – pushing one forward or increasing its magnetic field’s intensity pushes the other magnet away or to the background.

House analogy -

In America – the grammars of Settler-Master and Savage-Slave were created by gratuitous violence and are zero-sum.

The Settler formation includes both conservative Right-wing forces, and left-wingers who liberalize and reform America. Progress and democratic deliberation happens by siphoning energy and flesh from the Savage-Slaves (in the form of land or the prison-industrial complex). However, the existence and expansion of the Settler-Master grammar cannot include the Indian or Black because that would destroy its coherence – American politics would cease to exist.

The road to Black and Indian genocide was, and is, paved with good intentions and unspoken assumptions.

2NC/2NR - Kick Out

We are not going for the Blackness portion of the debate. We will concede that Wilderson’s analysis of Blackness is flawed. However, this does not affect the Redness/Indian portion of the debate. All the zero-sum grammar work still applies, and they cannot cross-apply arguments because their evidence is very specific and we setup the delineation in the block.

2NC: Impact Wall

The kritik outweighs and turns the aff

Ethics - Ethics is the only tangible impact to debate – debaters should be held responsible for their in-round advocacies and political stances – ethics comes first because it forces students to reflect upon or use their ethical beliefs in the formulation of arguments and makes sure that inter-collegiate remains robust – that’s Duffy and Reid-Brinkley

Endless Violence - The affhides and solidifies the American state of emergency for Blacks and Indians – even if they mitigate some of the impact in the short-term, externalities mean destruction will be shifted repeatedly

Turns case – stabilizing Settler-Master society will produce more wars and conflicts in the future - any technological improvements will be employed for endless accumulation and ecological extinction

2NC: Link Wall

Speech Ethics - The 1AC narration for USFG action is unethical because it uses the objective imperialist persona culminating in spectatorship and cycles of genocidal violence – that’s Reid-Brinkely

Problem/Solution Protocol – their grammar starts from a rubric of problems that can be posed and conceptually solved by passing a plan. The aff’s academic enquiry through fake legislative antics creates political and psychic stability while crowding out the irreconcilable demands of Indigenism and Blackness. – that’sWilderson

Denial Link - Their grammar crowds facilitates denial of ongoing and absent Savage-Slave genocide - that Wilderson and Reid-Brinkley

Any solvent perm is severance, because it needs to sever links to the 1AC grammar, history, and political assumptions. Voting issue – moots key negative offense, replays the fluidity of white racism, prevents in-depth analysis, and destroys the coherence of the 1AC narrative.

Perm destroys the alternative – combining grammars without rejecting the aff first obliterates the unflinching force of the alt by reducing it to a reconcilable conflict – that’s 1NC Wilderson

Cooption DA - mustpush away from the 1AC to solve – independent reason to vote Neg

Alfred 99Taiaiake, U of Victoria dir. of Indigenous Governance Program, Peace, Power, Righteousness, p79

Freeing ourselves from co-optation comes down to acknowledging the unbalanced power relationthat we exist …. in indigenous people, relationships, and structures.

We are impact turning there reformism net-benefit. The AFF’s technological reprocessing reforms

exemplifies the privileged elites who only conceive of reforms that maintain their current lifestyle, independent reason to refuse the Aff

The frame we bring to climate change discussions determines how we define the problem, what solutions we support, and which people we see as leaders and stakeholders.

AND

awarealwaysof the waysin whichtheir own attitudes and approaches keep potential partners at bay.

These technological reforms allow elites to be sheileded from the worst of global warmings—while minorities are still dispropionately affected.

2NC – Give the Land Back CP

Extended the 1NC CP – The apriori ethico-political option is to Give Turtle Island back to the Savage – that was the explicit tag to 1NC Wilderson evidence. No new 1AR answers BECAUSE the 2AC DROPPED THE BALL.

Evaluate the counterplan using IMPOSSIBLE REALISM – It Provides uniqueness for our links and resolves ALL their impacts –

Indigenous Struggles in Canada”, Affinities: A Journal of Radical Theory, Culture, and Action, Volume 4, Number 2, Fall, pp. 5-8, affinitiesjournal.org/index.php/affinities/article/view/59/18)

Radical imagination is reenvisioning your existence on this land without the inherited privileges of conquest

2NC: ROJ/ROB Wall

Paradigmatic analysis means you ignore the content of the 1AC text and focus on the unspoken absences or the questions are left unasked.

Chandler 9 (Daniel, Lecturer in Media Theory at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, Ph.D from the University of Wales, http://www.aber.ac.uk/media/Documents/S4B/sem05.html, Acc: 10/24/12, og)

2NC Impact Framing - Stage

Red and Black ontological violence comes first - it is the stage for all other violent conflicts and political discourse

Wilderson 10 Frank B. III, Ph.D., Associate Professor at UC Irvine, Red, White and Black: Cinema and the Structure of U.S. Antagonisms, pages 29-31, OG

The three structuring positions of the United States (Whites, Indians, Blacks)

Incentives Link

Plan provides incentives on stolen lands, BUT those incentives can’t even be accessed by tribes

2NC AT Essentialism

No link AND turn – we don’t make any claims about black culture, but HISTORICAL LIVED EXPERIENCE and POLITICS. Calling us essentialist is a RACIST move that STOPS black freedom and progress – independent voter

Birt 5 (Robert, graduated from Morgan State University in 1976 with BA degrees in History and Philosophy, and obtained his Ph.D. in Philosophy in 1984. Doctoral thesis was written on Alienation in the Later Philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre. Dr. Birt has taught philosophy at Tuskegee University, Saint Joseph's University, Texas A and M University, Morgan State University before joining the faculty of Bowie State University in August of 2007, “Blackness and the Quest for Authenticity”, in White on white/black on black / edited by George Yancy, p. 269-270, og)

There is more than one way to frame the concerns of The Transit of Empire

Wilderson K

Their simulated use of the USFG as an actor is unethical because it replicates anti-Blackness and destroys agency

The aff is a science fiction project located in the grammar of futurity – this distorts the true past and present using doomsday scenarios and simulation, while bankrupting ethical action

Place ethics above the contingent impacts of the aff – it preserves debate as an activity

Adopt the role of an unflinching paradigmatic analyst assess the ethical and political nature of the grammar underlying the 1AC

Case v Coal/Blackouts Aff

Blackouts Advantage

There is no compliance issue, here is the NEXT paragraph of their ev that concludes empirics demonstrate no undue burden or time constraint, even in worst case scenario production reserves prevent blackouts

The way this ev is cut should make you suspect of all their cards…

Blackouts are inevitable, impact empirically denied – prefer our cited qualified professors in the field over their Forbes magazine card

Disproportionately effects African Americans

Claiming coal has not impact relies on a demarcation of bodies which positionsni casts Black folk as disposable receptacles for toxic waste
