@Emil Good step. In line with Engie's news they're also moving away from Russian supply chains. By the end of the decade the EU isn't relying on Russia at all anymore.

Except Hungary. Fuck Orban.

gravitas_deficiency , in Granholm calls for tripling of US nuclear fleet

This is a mildly confusing title because the US Navy runs an absolute shitload of nuclear-powered subs, and over a dozen CVNs

Yeay! Goodbye.

Emil OP Mod , in Uganda looks to potential uranium production
@Emil@feddit.nl avatar

24 GWe of nuclear capacity? That's very ambitious. It would offer Uganda a rise in available energy from 5 TWh to almost 200 (!) TWh. I wish them all the best.

This is a step in the right direction. Seems like great work.

ZapBeebz_ , in Viewpoint: Modernising the regulatory ecosystem for nuclear-powered ships

Imo, the biggest non-starter for commercial nuclear cargo ships is the maintenance cost. No commercial shipping company will ever be willing to shoulder the maintenance cost for nuclear vessels, because the cost is simply too high to make economic sense for them. Also, they'd have to overcome decades of mistrust and poor practice of maintenance for their current fleet to prove that they can actually maintain a nuclear vessel.

I'm a simple man, I see Oak Ridge doing good and I smile.

Dasus , in Iran / No Damage At Nuclear Facilities Following Israel Attack, Says IAEA
@Dasus@lemmy.world avatar

"UN agency calls for 'extreme restraint' "

So we know the situation is out of control and the actors don't listen to the UN.

Get your bug-out backs ready, folks. Remember to have a copy of Wikipedia on your phone just for survival knowledge and to have wireless mesh networking messaging apps, just in case the Internet goes down.

Apps like firechat. Not to useful in non-city areas, but still. What mesh networking means in those terms is that devices like phones capable of acting as a wifi hotspot and being part of one, act as sort of servers to create a larger network. Then a person in the network can send a message to another in it, despite no-one in the mesh network being actually on the internet. So the message would travel through several phones to reach the destination, but the devices it travels through still can't read the message, they just deliver it.

Fucking greedy money addicts making us go through WWIII when we could be building a Star Trek style utopia, smh

Honestly, working at a nuclear plant is awesome. And more plants means more outages 🤙

Cool! Sounds like many skilled jobs are on the horizon in Utah.

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.

collectifission , in Bangladesh considering two more nuclear units at Rooppur
@collectifission@greennuclear.online avatar

@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.

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