Researchers build #WiFi chip that can operate inside a #nuclearreactor — receiver uses special materials and design to withstand high doses of #radiation for at least 6 month
Chip was primarily designed to allow #robots to work in contaminated areas for decommissioning #nuclear reactors. Regular silicon #semiconductors used for wireless communication are susceptible to interference from nuclear radiation, meaning robots are limited by physical cable needed to control them https://www.tomshardware.com/networking/routers/researchers-build-wi-fi-chip-that-can-operate-inside-a-nuclear-reactor-receiver-uses-special-materials-and-design-to-withstand-high-doses-of-radiation-for-at-least-six-months -

#NuclearReactor Backed by #BillGates Gets Federal Approval
#TerraPower’s project in #Wyoming, which uses novel technology, is the first new commercial reactor to receive federal approval in decade.
TerraPower design, which it calls #Natrium developed with GE Hitachi, has several novel features. Probably most notable of these is the use of liquid #sodium for cooling and heat transfer.
Plant won’t be done until 2030 at the earliest, and it still needs an operating license.

Trump admin has secretly changed the rules for nuclear reactor safety.
NPR reports that Dept of Energy is rushing to build three experimental nuclear reactors by July 4th. A series of documents containing safety regulations for reactors has been pared down to one third its original size. None of the documents are available to the public.
He is going to kill us all.

Israeli evacuation threat targets area around Iran’s Arak heavy-water nuclear reactor
As part of negotiations around the 2015 deal, Iran agreed to sell off its heavy water to Western countries. Even the US purchased some 32 tonnes of heavy water for more than $8m in one deal.
IAEA inspectors reportedly last visited Arak on May 14.

I think I must be missing something, with all the news I've heard, and read, about Israel/US, dropping bombs, and firing missiles, at a nuclear plant, I've not heard anyone mention anything about nuclear fallout.
Surly bombs, missiles, or anything explosive, does not bode well, at a nuclear power station/reactor/plant?

End of #nuclear in #Taiwan fans energy security fear
Taiwan will turn off last #nuclearreactor, fuelling concerns over island reliance on imported energy and vulnerability to blockade by #China. Nuclear power once provided jalf of Taiwan's energy, with three plants operating six reactors across an island that's 394 km (245 mi) long and 144 km (89 mi) wide. Island depends almost entirely on imported #fossilfuels to power homes, factories & critical #semiconductor industry.

By all means, keep the policy that people hate. Even the people who like the idea of nuclear reactors hate the idea of them being built in their neighbourhood or their spent fuel being stored nearby.

A hole in protective shell over the Chernobyl reactor poses risks.
For weeks, the Ukrainian authorities have been looking for ways to repair a large hole in the protective shell that covers the fourth reactor of the decommissioned Chernobyl nuclear plant. When it was erected in 2019, the giant shell was one of the biggest structures ever moved by humans.
On 14 February, a Russian drone hit the structure.

The Lies Have It: #XcelEnergy Wins Operating Extension for Nation’s 5th Oldest Nuclear Reactor
by John Laforge, January 10, 2025"I.F. Stone famously said, 'All governments are run by liars and nothing they say should be believed.' The aphorism applies well to #NuclearReactor operators, including Minneapolis-based Xcel Energy.
"The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (#NRC) has granted Xcel a second license extension for operating its 54-year-old #MonticelloReactor on the #MississippiRiver in #Minnesota. The decision will permit this GE jalopy, a #Fukushima clone, to run until it’s 80 years old — a dangerous feat never been done in the history of nuclear power. The NRC received over 3,000 public comments mostly critical of the extension, but the the commission has rubber stamped 87 of 92 similar requests, so call the NRC Never Really Concerned.
"The NRC nod is based partly on the commission’s Final Environmental Impact Statement (#EIS) for the re-licensing, even though the document confirms that Xcel repeatedly made false statements about its massive 2022-‘23 leak of #radioactive cooling water. According to a March 16, 2023 Associated Press (AP) story, Xcel’s first public response to the major leak was, 'There’s no danger to the public.' Xcel then proceeded to understate by more than half the leak’s actual volume, only estimating it was 400,000 gallons.
"Xcel eventually acknowledged that volume of the leak, from an old corroded underground pipe, was 829,000 gallons, and that the #groundwater plume of reactor cooling water — some of which would later reach the Mississippi River — had a radioactive footprint of some fourteen curies of #tritium — a very large amount. (For a reference, the 1979 partial reactor meltdown at Three Mile Island released an estimated 15 curies of gaseous radioactive iodine-131 to the Pennsylvania atmosphere. Other radioactive materials went into the Susquehanna River.)
"Xcel’s 829,000-gallon leak was always a direct threat to drinking water because — as the company’s own 2023 Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report states on page 13 — 'It is assumed groundwater continuously flows to the river…' The Mississippi is the drinking water source for 20 million people, including #Minneapolis, #StPaul and their surrounding suburbs 37 miles downstream from the leaky reactor."

I headed in the direction of home… south. I stopped at a little marina type place right across the water from the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant. At this point in time I am not glowing in the dark.

And this is the point where I realized that my ISO was set to 1600. I changed it to 100 but I was almost done for the day so there aren’t many low ISO pics. Oh well.

It’s being constructed near the retiring #coal-fired #Naughton #powerplant and is the world’s only coal-to-nuclear project under development. It employing 200 and 250 people, wants to hire 110 former coal workers to tap into their transferrable skills.
