Emil OP Mod , in IAEA assesses operation of Japanese reactor for 60 years
@Emil@feddit.nl avatar

"Extensions can be granted once only and limited to a maximum of 20 years"

So, only a 60 year maximum run? That seems like a waste and unnecessary legal barrier. Just keep them running as long as they comply with safety requirements.

Dasus , in Iran / No Damage At Nuclear Facilities Following Israel Attack, Says IAEA

"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

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!

Triple_B , in Coal-To-Nuclear / New Reactors Would Create High-Paying Jobs And Spur Millions In Host Community Investment, Says DOE

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.

grue , in Vogtle-4 / US Nuclear Power Plant Reaches Maximum Output As Commissioning Gathers Pace

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.)

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.

Release the depressed ecological science graduates who can only get work doing mine rehab.

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.

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.

lettruthout , in UK / Sizewell C Developer Acquires Land For Planned Nuclear Station

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.
