From what I can see, I doubt that it signals the end of #AUKUS (love it or hate it) given the time lines of the project, the issues the #UK still has with building its own marine #reactors and the nuclear fuel required for the UK’s current crop of new #submarine builds. All of the above means #Australia is still tied to the old tri-partite alliance and likely to remain so whatever else may change in Australian foreign policy. That’s just the reality of it. As for #tRump, his days are numbered from what I can tell… -
🌍💡 #Europe, in a dazzling display of its famed decisiveness, scratches its collective head and wonders if dusting off those old #nuclear #reactors could magically solve its #energy woes. Never mind the fact that talking about it is as far as they'll get—it's the thought that counts, right? 😂🔋

Once more unto the breach, re small #nuclear #reactors or SMRs, and the #EU plan to kickstart their construction. I have my doubts. TL;DR unless the EU chooses about one reactor design for the all-Union standard #SMR, I doubt *any* will reach the "critical mass" of large enough series production.

TorrentFreak: ‘Ripping’ Clips for YouTube Reaction Videos can Violate the DMCA, Court Rules. “A California federal court has issued a ruling that could have serious implications for the YouTube ‘reaction’ videos that are created with stream-ripping tools. In the case of Cordova v. Huneault, U.S. Magistrate Judge DeMarchi concluded that allegations of bypassing YouTube’s “rolling cipher” […]

So the #Trump admin is #exempting new #nuclear #reactors from #environmental #reviews. That's nice. I was at Southern Company for all of the construction of Vogtle Units 3 & 4 in Waynesboro, Georgia. I remember those #environment #reviews. I hope these rules don't "trump" Georgia's DNR authority for example.
Either way I hope nuclear #operators will still conduct their own environmental reviews.
Just think about how costly it would be to halt #construction, or even worse have to do something after the #reactor is live, because an environmental review wasn't performed. It's going to be 100x more expensive (if not more) to fix any issues after a reactor has been built than to fix things before construction begins.
Only the most stupidest of idiots would think these new rules from the Federal Government are actually going to save nuclear operators any money!

Why the grid relies on #nuclearreactors in the #winter
Steady #nuclear energy is in high demand this time of year.
Generally, nuclear #reactors operate at constant levels, as close to full capacity as possible. In 2024, for commercial reactors worldwide, the average capacity factor—the ratio of actual energy output to the theoretical maxiumum—was 83%. North America rang in at an average of about 90%.

I'm cautiously optimistic about small, simple, heat-only #nuclear #reactors like the LDR-50 the Finnish company Steady Energy is developing for district and industrial heat. One 50 MW LDR-50 could put out something like 0.4 TWh/a, and would be much cheaper per watt too. www.steadyenergy.com

Who knew that less power consumption would mean less #Water usage? 🌊🤔 Maybe next they'll figure out that closing the fridge door saves #Energy too. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, Deutschland! 😂🔌

#Water #leak detected at one of #Zaporizhzhya #NPP #reactors, RIA: https://ria.ru/20241031/utechka-1981246102.html
On Tuesday, October 29, the organization's experts visited power unit No. 1 after receiving information about a water leak in the reactor coolant pump support system. In order to carry out welding work, it was necessary to reduce the pressure in the primary circuit to atmospheric levels. Radiographic inspection of the welds is currently underway.

#Update 240 - #IAEA #DG #Statement on #Situation in #Ukraine, https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/pressreleases/update-240-iaea-director-general-statement-on-situation-in-ukraine
The #water #level in the #cooling #pond at Ukraine’s #Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (#ZNPP) continues to decrease. Despite all #reactors remaining in a state of cold-shutdown, availability of this water is important for nuclear safety of the plant, Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said today.

@MorpheusB That site in Jervis Bay is historically fascinating.
It is on Commonwealth owned land (not so much of that available 60 years on).
It is near an ocean, making cooling easy.
It is near major population centres, so we could pretend it was for electricity generation.The assertion that the reactors will be owned and operated by the Commonwealth is an important element resurrected in the curent fantasy from the (supposedly private-enterprise loving) Liberals.
My (not in any way original) assertion:
The reason for that reactor was to make plutonium for weapons.And, in that way, it makes 'economic' sense. #Plutonium is expensive to buy. It is cheaper to make it yourself.
Plutonium production is the *only* thing that might tip the money balance in favour of #Australian #reactors.
So, my *guesses* at reasons the Jervis Bay reactor was cancelled:
1. The Americans said "no, do not do that, we will bring you under our #nuclear umbrella, yes, even against Indonesia, yep, promise. Howdy pardner"
2. The cost of building, owning and delivering (the F-111) a nuclear weapon got accurately modelled, and presented to cabinet. McMahon blanched at it - we couldn't afford The Bomb.
3. We built/discovered a better, cheaper weapon of mass destruction - biological or chemical, that made the nuclear weapon redundant. (No, there are many nights I do not sleep soundly, thanks for your concern).
4. Relations with Indonesia and China improved (... enough).
5. The British were cancelling their ICBM-delivered nuclear weapon program, and signing-up to the American Way™ with Trident etc. - so we followed suit in our usual subservient way. (Gorton, I reckon would've hated this - it needed McMahon's lack of spine to make it possible.)
6. Some member of the Liberal Party had a nice holiday home at Vincentia. This is, by far, my favourite one. It's just cheesy enough to be believable.7. No, anti-nuclear protests didn't stop it. That's a fantasy. The Military industrial complex, psychopath fuckers all of them, have thicker skins than that. Much thicker. Please keep protesting though, and I'll join you - #ICAN is a great place to start. Love and hugs to them.
