Meta stawia na atom. Gigantyczna inwestycja w energię dla systemów AI
Spółka macierzysta Facebooka i Instagrama ogłosiła zawarcie serii umów, które mają zapewnić jej dostęp do nawet 6,6 GW energii jądrowej.
Meta nawiązała współpracę z firmami Vistra, TerraPower oraz Oklo, aby zasilić swoje energochłonne centra danych, stanowiące fundament dla rozwoju sztucznej inteligencji. Plan zakłada zarówno wsparcie istniejących elektrowni, jak i budowę nowoczesnych reaktorów nowej generacji.
Decyzja technologicznego giganta podyktowana jest rosnącym zapotrzebowaniem na stabilną energię elektryczną, niezbędną do trenowania i obsługi modeli AI. Jak wynika z komunikatu, ambicją firmy jest stworzenie „osobistej superinteligencji”, co wymaga infrastruktury o niespotykanej dotąd skali. W przeciwieństwie do źródeł odnawialnych zależnych od pogody, energetyka jądrowa zapewnia stałe dostawy prądu (tzw. base load), co jest kluczowe dla ciągłości pracy serwerowni.
Reanimacja starych bloków i zwiększenie mocy
W ramach umowy z firmą Vistra, Meta sfinansuje przedłużenie żywotności oraz modernizację trzech działających elektrowni jądrowych: Perry i Davis-Besse w Ohio oraz Beaver Valley w Pensylwanii.
Porozumienie przewiduje nie tylko zakup 2,1 GW energii, ale także inwestycje w tzw. uprating, czyli techniczne zwiększenie mocy reaktorów. Dzięki temu do początku lat 30. do sieci w regionie PJM (obsługującym wschodnie stany USA) trafi dodatkowe 433 MW mocy, zasilając między innymi superklaster obliczeniowy Prometheus.
Inwestycja w technologie przyszłości
Meta nie ogranicza się do konwencjonalnego atomu. Umowa z TerraPower zakłada budowę dwóch jednostek typu Natrium o łącznej mocy 690 MW, które mają zostać oddane do użytku już w 2032 roku. Firma zapewniła sobie również prawo do energii z sześciu kolejnych planowanych jednostek, co łącznie może dać 2,8 GW mocy do 2035 roku. Technologia Natrium łączy reaktory na prędkich neutronach z magazynami soli stopionej, co pozwala na elastyczne zarządzanie produkcją energii.
Równolegle rozwijana będzie współpraca z firmą Oklo, specjalizującą się w małych reaktorach (SMR). W hrabstwie Pike w stanie Ohio powstać ma kampus energetyczny, który może dostarczyć do 1,2 GW czystej energii. Pierwsze reaktory Aurora Powerhouse, oparte na technologii powielającej paliwo, mają rozpocząć pracę około 2030 roku. Jest to jeden z największych korporacyjnych zakupów energii jądrowej w historii USA, co potwierdza, że Big Tech staje się de facto jednym z głównych rozgrywających na rynku energetycznym.

#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.

#TerraPower advanced reactor on schedule but fuel remains a concern
Staff Writer May 14, 2024
"According to Reuters, fuel supply remains TerraPower’s main concern for the first plant, on which the company expects to begin non-nuclear-related construction in June. Director of External Affairs at TerraPower Jeff Navin said the supply of HALEU was considered the greatest uncertainty when planning for deployment. 'We still think 2030 is our best bet as to when we can get things completed, but I can’t tell you today that I can account for every kilogram of HALEU that we will need, where it will come from, and when we’ll have it, so that that is certainly something that still keeps us up at night.'
"Plans for US-produced fuel are being expedited, including a two-phase project to produce 900 kg of HALEU a year by the nuclear fuel and services company, #Centrus. In November 2023, Centrus announced its first delivery of 20 kilograms of HALEU uranium hexafluoride (#UF6), completing Phase 1 of the HALEU Operation Contract under budget and ahead of schedule. Centrus has so far achieved cumulative deliveries to the DOE of approximately 135 kilograms of HALEU. However, this is not enough."

So, #Terrapower and other #HALEU energy projects are being touted as "carbon-free". But alas, a lot of energy is spent digging, milling, transporting and enriching #Uranium -- and there's still no place to permanently store #NuclearWaste.
And #NewNuclear is far from CLEAN -- ask the residents of #PiketonOhio -- who are still dealing with #contamination from when the uranium enrichment plant was operating before!
Radioactive cylinders abound at former Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant site
by The Guardian
August 7, 2024
PIKETON, Ohio – "The site of the former Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Piketon is home to a significant number of radioactive cylinders, posing ongoing environmental and health risks. As of 2022, there are a total of 20,570 uranium hexafluoride (#UF6) cylinders at the site, including 1,879 low-enriched uranium (LEU) cylinders, 18,206 depleted uranium cylinders, and 385 empty cylinders.
"These cylinders, which have been stored in the open for decades, are known to be among the highest sources of #radioactive contamination at the entire plant site. The U.S. Department of Energy [#DOE] has repeatedly reported the #hazardous conditions associated with these cylinder yards.
Chemical Reaction and #Corrosion
"UF6 is highly reactive with moisture, forming uranyl fluoride (UO2F2) and hydrogen fluoride (HF). Both compounds are extremely corrosive and toxic. HF can lead to severe corrosion of the cylinder walls, potentially resulting in leaks and the release of hazardous materials. The environmental and health impacts of these compounds are severe; HF can cause respiratory issues, skin burns, and eye damage, while UO2F2 can lead to kidney damage and other serious health problems.
Historical Accidents
"The potential risks are not hypothetical. In 1978, a major incident occurred when a UF6 cylinder ruptured, releasing over 20,000 pounds of uranium hexafluoride into the atmosphere. Over the years, there have been dozens of such accidental releases, exacerbating the environmental and health risks associated with the site."

Five Things the “#NuclearBros” Don’t Want You to Know About #SmallModularReactors #SMRs
by #EdwinLyman, director of nuclear power safety at the Union of Concerned Scientists (#UCS)
April 30, 2024"Even casual followers of energy and climate issues have probably heard about the alleged wonders of small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs). This is due in no small part to the 'nuclear bros': an active and seemingly tireless group of #NuclearPower advocates [#Trolls] who dominate social media discussions on energy by promoting SMRs and other 'advanced' #nuclear technologies as the only real solution for the #ClimateCrisis.
"But as I showed in my 2013 and 2021 reports, the hype surrounding SMRs is way overblown, and my conclusions remain valid today.
"Unfortunately, much of this SMR happy talk is rooted in #misinformation, which always brings me back to the same question: If the nuclear bros have such a great SMR story to tell, why do they have to exaggerate so much?
What are SMRs?
"SMRs are nuclear reactors that are 'small' (defined as 300 megawatts of electrical power or less), can be largely assembled in a centralized facility, and would be installed in a modular fashion at power generation sites. Some proposed SMRs are so tiny (20 megawatts or less) that they are called 'micro' reactors. SMRs are distinct from today’s conventional nuclear plants, which are typically around 1,000 megawatts and were largely custom-built. Some SMR designs, such as #NuScale, are modified versions of operating water-cooled reactors, while others are radically different designs that use coolants other than water, such as liquid sodium, helium gas, or even molten salts.
"To date, however, theoretical interest in SMRs has not translated into many actual reactor orders. The only SMR currently under construction is in China. And in the United States, only one company—#TerraPower, founded by Microsoft’s Bill Gates — has applied to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for a permit to build a power reactor (but at 345 megawatts, it technically isn’t even an SMR).
"The #NuclearIndustry has pinned its hopes on SMRs primarily because some recent large reactor projects, including #Vogtle units 3 and 4 in the state of #GeorgiaUSA, have taken far longer to build and cost far more than originally projected. The failure of these projects to come in on time and under budget undermines arguments that modern nuclear power plants can overcome the problems that have plagued the nuclear industry in the past.
"Developers in the industry and the US Department of Energy say that SMRs can be less costly and quicker to build than large reactors and that their modular nature makes it easier to balance power supply and demand. They also argue that reactors in a variety of sizes would be useful for a range of applications beyond grid-scale electrical power, including providing process heat to industrial plants and power to #DataCenters, #cryptocurrency mining operations, petrochemical production, and even electrical vehicle [#EV] charging stations.
"Here are five facts about SMRs that the nuclear industry and the 'nuclear bros' who push its message don’t want you, the public, to know."

Новая атомная станция TerraPower: как будет работать реактор следующего поколения
Когда разговор заходит о новых достижениях в атомной энергетике, чаще всего вспоминают модульные реакторы . Все логично, ведь они, как обещают разработчики, компактнее и дешевле традиционных АЭС. Но параллельно развивается и другое направление — быстрые реакторы с новыми теплоносителями и встроенными системами накопления энергии. Один из самых заметных проектов такого типа — Natrium от компании TerraPower. Ее разработчики пытаются показать, что атомная генерация может работать в одной системе с переменными источниками энергии и оставаться гибкой. Давайте разбираться, что это и как функционирует.

"#Nuclear reactors don’t emit planet-warming greenhouse gases, unlike coal and gas plants, and they can produce electricity around the clock, unlike wind turbines and solar panels."
"#TerraPower’s reactor uses liquid sodium instead of water, allowing it to operate at lower pressures. In theory, that reduces the need for costly shielding. In an emergency, the plant can be cooled with air vents rather than complicated pump systems. "

Report Finds That ‘Advanced’ #Nuclear Reactor Designs Are No Better Than Current Reactors—and Some Are Worse
Proposed Non-Light-Water Reactors Not Clearly Safer and Will Likely Take Decades to Achieve Reliable Commercial Operation
Published Mar 18, 2021
Union of Concerned Scientists"One of the proposed sodium-cooled fast reactors, #TerraPower’s 345 megawatt #Natrium, has received considerable media attention recently because TerraPower founder #BillGates has been citing it during interviews about his new book, How to Avoid a Climate Disaster. In mid-February, Gates told 60 Minutes correspondent Anderson Cooper that the #Natrium reactor will produce less waste and be safer than a conventional light-water reactor.
"In fact, according to the #UCS report, sodium-cooled fast reactors such as the Natrium would likely be less '#uranium-efficient.' They would not reduce the amount of #NuclearWaste that requires long-term isolation in a geologic repository. They also could experience safety problems that are not an issue for light-water reactors.
"Sodium coolant, for example, can burn when exposed to air or water, and a sodium-cooled fast reactor could experience uncontrollable power increases that result in rapid core melting.
“'When it comes to safety and security, sodium-cooled fast reactors and molten salt-fueled reactors are significantly worse than conventional light-water reactors,' says Dr. #EdwinLyman.
'High-temperature, gas-cooled reactors may have the potential to be safer, but that remains unproven, and problems have come up during recent fuel safety tests.'"Read more:

I wonder how much #taxpayer money #BillGates is getting for #TerraPower (even though he could fund it himself if he wanted to).
#Nuclear power: Why #MoltenSalt reactors are problematic and Canada investing in them is a waste
Published: September 14, 2021
"As a physicist who has analyzed different nuclear reactor designs, including small modular reactors, I believe that molten salt reactors are unlikely to be successfully deployed anytime soon. #MSRs face difficult technical problems, and cannot be counted on to produce electricity consistently.
[...]
"Should an #MSR be built, it will also saddle society with the challenge of dealing with the radioactive waste it will produce. This is especially difficult for MSRs because the waste is in chemical forms that are 'not known to occur in nature' and it is unclear 'which, if any, disposal environment could accommodate this high-level waste.' The Union of Concerned Scientists has also detailed the safety and security risks associated with MSR designs."

Nuclear Expansion Sparks Concerns from Scientists of '#CatastrophicFailure'
Story by Jordan King
June 19, 2024"A group of scientists has spoken out against a new bill that aims to accelerate the development of #nuclear energy.
"The U.S. Senate passed the #ADVANCEAct on Tuesday, which, among other things, makes it easier and quicker for companies to apply for permits and creates new incentives for advanced #nuclear reactor technologies.
"It was passed with bipartisan support (88-2 votes), with Democrats getting behind it for environmental reasons and Republicans seeing it as a way to ensure electricity supply and create jobs.
"An example of how the bill could be applied is with the Bill Gates-backed company #TerraPower, which has so far been unable to secure a permit to build a $4 billion #Natrium Reactor on an old #coal plant site in Wyoming, Reuters reports.
"But the Union of Concerned Scientists, a science advocacy nonprofit, is worried about the #safety implications of the bill, which is now on its way to President Joe #Biden to sign into law.
"The organization's director of nuclear power safety Dr. #EdwinLyman compared the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's [#NRC] relaxing of rules to the Federal Aviation Administration doing the same with air transport."

Bill Gates will Milliarden in neue Reaktoren investieren
Mit seinem Start-up #Terrapower will Microsoft-Gründer Bill #Gates kleinere Reaktoren bauen und eine Alternative zu #Gas schaffen. Dafür nimmt er Milliarden in die Hand.
Düsseldorf. Dort wo einst ein #Kohlekraftwerk stand, will Terrapower nun einen Reaktor bauen. Das Start-up, das von Milliardär Bill Gates selbst gegründet wurde, hat vergangene Woche mit dem Bau einer ersten kommerziellen Anlage im US-Bundesstaat #Wyoming begonnen. In der Fernsehsendung „Face the Nation“ des US-Senders #CBS gab Gates nun Einblicke, wie er das Geschäft mit der #Atomkraft vorantreiben will.
„Ich habe mehr als eine Milliarde investiert und werde noch weitere Milliarden dazugeben“, sagte Gates, der laut Bloomberg Billionaires Index die sechstreichste Person der Welt ist. Seit 2008 forsche Terrapower an einfacheren und günstigeren Reaktoren. Der Bau in Wyoming soll 2030 abgeschlossen sein.
Ursprünglich hatte die Firma das Kraftwerk bereits 2028 fertigstellen wollen. Doch dafür wäre das Unternehmen auf Brennstoff aus #Russland angewiesen gewesen, sagte Gates.
Das Reaktordesign verwendet flüssiges Natrium als Kühlmittel anstelle von Wasser und nutzt geschmolzenes Salz, das Wärme speichern kann, um die Leistung zu steigern. Terrapower plant, den Reaktorbrennstoff aus den USA und von deren Verbündeten zu beziehen, sagte Gates.
„#Kohle wird von Erdgas verdrängt“, sagte Gates gegenüber CNN. „Und deshalb müssen wir effektiv mit Erdgas konkurrieren.“
#Kernenergie wird zunehmend als wichtiger Bestandteil im Kampf gegen den #Klimawandel angesehen, und immer mehr Unternehmen werben für kleinere #Reaktoren. Im vergangenen Jahr erklärten 25 Nationen auf der #COP28-Klimakonferenz in #Dubai, ihre #Atomkapazität verdreifachen zu wollen.
