Kudos to CERN and fuck Russia.

mumblerfish , in CERN's decision to end cooperation with Russian scientists criticised by Moscow

Did CERN offer some russian scientists positions? To really fuck with Russia they should have said 'not only are we going to stop collaborating with Russia, but all scientists who wants to continue their work will be allowed to get positions here'. That would undermine Russia even more and be more fair to the scientists.

MxM111 ,

I suspect many of these scientists have families in Russia.

mumblerfish ,

Sure, absolutely. It is often a part of the sacrifice you do when doing postdocs and sometimes also for professors, that you live separated or you have the family move with you. Some universities also allows for the opening of a second position for the spouse for an incoming professor. This is of course a different situation. Successful or not, I'd hope that at least some offers have been handed out, giving them the choice.

MxM111 ,

You are missing my point. If Putin says that they should come back (and I have now doubt that this would happen if they are offered positions) they would go back.

Wonder if, at just over 30 years old, I could swing my career into something related to nuclear power. It does sound very interesting

And the short-term greed continues.

Who cares about future generations when there's profit to be made now! /s

I have no idea what you're talking about. Greed? They just buying a piece of land that's going to be used.

And I am sure they will pass those savings onto their customers right?

They're run by different operators. In some cases they probably will be, I'm thinking public utilities. In other cases they add to the profit margin.

If you think the latter should change, organise so these utility companies serve the public again.

collectifission , in Bangladesh considering two more nuclear units at Rooppur

@Emil Anti-nuclear activists must be really in a bind explaining this one away.

"But isn't there smore sun in Bangladesh? But isn't solar cheaper? But but ..."

Nuclear provides dispatchable energy in a densely populated country. This is a smart choice.

Emil OP Mod , in Update 220 – IAEA Director General Statement on Situation in Ukraine
@Emil@feddit.nl avatar

"At this point, there are no indications of damage to critical nuclear safety or security systems at the site."

Thanks for the update. The rest of the piece is diplomatic fluff.

lurch ,

Additionally, the IAEA team heard several rounds of outgoing artillery fire from near the plant.

That could mean russians are trying to use the power plant as cover, forcing Ukraine to defend themselves with precision strikes nearby.

About fuckin' time!

(I'm pro-nuclear in general, but as a Georgia Power ratepayer it gets kind of hard when you've already been on the hook for paying for the goddamn thing for years before it even generates its first watt.)

collectifission , in Europe / Two New Nuclear Plants Needed Every Year For 15 Years, Says Commission Vice-President
@collectifission@greennuclear.online avatar

@Emil This is a pretty big change from the EU. If anything, it's still way too timid (we need hundreds of new big units in Europe, not merely 30), but this is already a watershed moment compared to just a few years ago when nuclear was the black sheep in Brussels.

They're finally starting to get it!
