@hackaday
This is some seriously outside-the-box thinking! 🧠⚡ Putting nuclear reactors underground could solve a lot of safety and space issues—but 2026 for a functioning reactor?
.
That said, if they pull it off, it could be a game-changer for clean energy. 🌍⚛️

Today we celebrate the birthday of not one, but two amazing women in science! 🤗🎉Marie Skłodowska-Curie (1867), who discovered #radium & #polonium & pioneered #radioactivity, & Lise Meitner (1878), whose brilliance uncovered the physics behind #nuclearfission. Happy birthday! #OTD #WomenInStem #WomeninScience

7 years ago I asked the pitchman for Terrestrial Energy this very question.

His answer was the federal legislation governing this does not permit it (and they didn’t see the value in time or money lobbying government and the associated #research to support the legislation, not to mention the R&D in a commercial product itself). So the message is the government has to set this agenda, and ban #nuclearfission in favour of #thorium. #cleanenergy #canpoli

Here we go…. the idiot’s well and truly back. Presumably Trump tried (unsuccessfully) to Google the facts five minutes before his speech?

I am shocked and dismayed that #Amazon claims that #nuclearenergy is a #safe and #clean source of #greenenergy.

Even the shortest-lived #radioactivewaste remains dangerous for longer than recorded human history and every strategy I've ever read about to manage it begins to fail long before the waste is inert. Since when is trading #carbon for #irradiation a valid strategy?

I would be ok with the government calling them "freedom reactors" if it gets more people on board with nuclear power again.

A Nobel Tale of Postwar Injustice
By Elisabeth Crawford; Ruth Lewin Sime; Mark Walker

Recently released Swedish documents reveal why Lise Meitner, codiscoverer of nuclear fission, did not receive the 1946 physics prize for her theoretical interpretation of the process. via @PhysicsToday

Here's Why You Don't See Many Nuclear-Powered Cargo #Ships
#Nuclear-Powered #CargoShips Are Trying to Stage a Comeback
Faced with the difficult task of #decarbonizing, some shipping companies are taking another look at a polarizing solution—#nuclearfission. #Atomic power could soon allow us to ply the #oceans soon, but there are drawbacks.
