    A view on next-gen nuclear reactors from Idaho, proposed to meet rising demand with low carbon emissions.
    ☢️ the catch:
    ⚠️ security ( #ThreeMileIsland #sl1 #mayak #chernobyl #fukushima )
    ⚠️ radioactive waste management (unsolved safe storage for 10,000s of generations)

    The report doesn’t say how micro reactors would solve these?

    “Going small and local” as PR to a favorable public opinion on nuclear energy, stalling out for decades in the US.

  2. Gerade die 3. Folge von Chernobyl gesehen. Und ich muss mir ständig vorstellen, wie Markus Söder durch die Kulissen rennt und von Mini-AKW schwafelt, dabei grinst und in eine Bratwurst beisst. Der Mann war 19, als die Katastrophe passierte, hat der wirklich gar nichts kapiert?

    Clinging to walls of one of most #radioactive buildings on Earth, scientists have found a strange black fungus curiously living its best life.
    Fungus called Cladosporium sphaerospermum, and scientists think its dark pigment – melanin – may allow it to harness ionizing #radiation through a process similar to the way plants harness light for photosynthesis. Proposed mechanism is referred to as #radiosynthesis.
