    New…Clear. #Nuclear. NuuuuClearrrrrrr. Easy peasy.

    #Fission is what conventional nuclear power uses. Chain reaction via atomic splitting. #Fusion is ( hopefully) what future ( betterer) powerplants will do . Is what it does. Still not there yet but closerer-

    Currently charging entirely from my rather small set of solar panels.
    Generally charges from #fission #wind and perhaps some trace of #tide from the #RanceEstuary #barrage .
    And notionally perhaps from solar energy stored in big batteries, even in its usual night time charge.

    (And maybe the tiniest smidgeon of gas, still)

    I bought Nucleares and tried to go through the tutorial, but realized that it was getting me nowhere. so now I’m watching videos about how #nuclear reactors work and it’s actually really fucking fascinating?

    like neutron moderators are super interesting, because it’s really counterintuitive that a neutron can be going “too fast” for #fission and a moderator has to actually slow it down

    and the concept of a void coefficient is super interesting, because I guess water can be both a moderator and something that absorbs neutrons, and it depends on… something about the reactor? idek

    and did you know that there was at least one natural fission reactor discovered? it had a negative void coefficient so it needed water in order to do the reaction, but it kept vaporizing its own groundwater, so it had to wait for more water to continue the reaction in a constant cycle

    and I watched a super-interesting video about how Chernobyl happened and their control rod design was fucking insane btw. and look at their channel for even more videos, like videos about how a thorium reactor is able to create even cleaner fission energy than a uranium-235 reactor

    I still don’t feel remotely ready to play Nucleares itself lol but I’m learning a lot and it surprises me how fascinating this subject is

    Given sufficient electricity, we can make #Hydrogen in quantity without reforming Methane. The #Oxygen is a probably useful byproduct.
    Given heat, pressure, and a catalyst, we can combine it with atmospheric #Nitrogen to make #Ammonia, a direct fertiliser, and starting point for Nitric acid and then #Nitrates. Among #AmmoniumNitrate 's uses is fertiliser for growng food.

    I think we might build an Ammonia plant next to a #fission boiler, and use #heat as well as perhaps #electricity from it.

    I like #fission #boiler #steam #power but if you start putting blocks of #solar panels down and connecting them to substations you can do it in many places and in sequence, and each 1000 kW you do is another 300 kWh per day. Add a #battery here and there, and you spread that through the whole day.

    Fission takes a #decade, or perhaps 5 years (or 30) before a turbine spins a generator, and yes, all day and a GW but power next #winter is highly valuable.

    And #wind, onshore...

    Happy birthday to #physicist Lise Meitner (1878-1968) who explained #nuclear #fission. She worked with chemists Hahn & Straßmann in 30s Berlin, investigating whether there were any stable elements beyond uranium. They discovered bombarding nucleus of U-235 with neutrons actually triggered it to fission, or break, into 2 nuclei of roughly half the size & some free neutrons! 🧵1/5

    #KnowledgeBit: Lise Meitner, called the "German #MarieCurie" by Albert Einstein, was a brilliant Austrian-Swedish physicist who made significant contributions to the field of nuclear physics.

    She is most famous for her work on #Nuclear #Fission, a discovery for which her colleague Otto Hahn received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1944.

    Recent advances in #Nuclear energy focus on two main areas: next-generation #Fission reactors and the pursuit of nuclear #Fusion.

    Next-generation fission reactors, like small modular reactors (SMRs), are designed to be safer, more efficient, and produce less waste, while ongoing research into nuclear fusion, the process that powers the sun, has seen recent breakthroughs in achieving ignition.

    It's end of June, and #NuclearPowerPlant|s in #France already have to decrease their power output because the water in the rivers is too warm to provide proper cooling.

    #NuclearPower is not a sustainable, reliable source of energy unless we manage to stop the #climatecatastrophe first (which, realistically, we won't, even though we have to).

    I have to admit I’ve been looking for a problem to solve with #serverless as an excuse to use #KnativeServing or maybe #fission at work.

    At work, as part of infra ops we have a handful of webhooks and controllers that could be a function.

    I normally talk myself out of it because of the perceived complexity of ingress.

    My intangible line of thinking is if that tool is there it would be reached for more often for adhoc Jenkins jobs, crons, potentially webhooks.
