Hi there, I'm posting a lot about nuclear energy, but I can branch out to:

- Politics: I'm an 'orthodox' marxist. I'll probably use Emil (npub1qm4…clnu) for those posts.
- Esperantisto.
- Environment: you know my pro-nuclear stance, but did you know I'm an ecomodernist?
- Democracy: Sortition is the way to go.
- Economy: abolish the money economy and replace it by cybernetic communism, using labourtime as our measurement for planning.

Quick question: what are the forever costs of the highly toxic mining tailings that are produced for making solar panels? Or the cadmium in old PV panels that we just dump on garbage dumps and no longer think about? Just wondering.
Let's stop with the double standard. Nuclear waste is extremely well taken care off. Should the other energy sources be taken to that standard, they would go bankrupt instantly.
Here I posted a bit more about this topic, using non-radioactive mercury as an example: https://greennuclear.online/@collectifission/113118572231692268

"Keravan Energia, a Finnish energy utility, has signed an agreement with nuclear startup Steady Energy to develop nuclear-powered district heating for the city of Kerava, near the capital Helsinki in the south of the country.
Steady Energy said Kerava is the third Finnish city to consider small modular reactor (SMR) technology for heating purposes, following earlier initiatives in Kuopio, eastern Finland, and Helsinki.
Should the project proceed to investment, construction of the SMR could begin as early as 2029, with district heating operations anticipated to start in 2032, the company said.
In Kuopio nuclear heating is already in the pre-investment phase, with zoning and environmental permitting expected to begin soon.
Steady Energy said in June that it plans to start construction of its first LDR-50 district heating SMR pilot plant in Finland next year. Unlike the actual power plant, the pilot unit will use an electric element to produce heat inside the reactor capsule instead of nuclear fuel.
Steady Energy’s unit, comparable in size to an upright shipping container, can be built entirely underground or on an existing industrial site.
The company has already signed letters of intent for the delivery of up to 15 reactors for district heating with Helsinki’s local utility Helen and Kuopio Energy.
Finland is largely heated by district heating, mostly from fossil fuels, peat and wood.
District heating systems take energy released as heat from a range of energy sources – in this case an SMR – and connect it to energy consumers through a system of highly insulated pipes. One advantage of SMRs would be their low emissions."

In what ways is it off? And would that make it cheaper/more expensive?

From a person replying to this elsewhere:
"Concrete is dirt cheap, as it is essentially dirt mixed with tiny amounts of a certain glue. You won't get much cheaper.
If you want to replace it with equal amounts of a very difficult to use at this scale and highly complex (in comparison) product, you will end up with far higher material costs and higher process costs.
For large structures, concrete is very close to the optimal costs.
Cheap polymers cost about two orders of magnitude more than concrete. For nuclear concrete, it's still a bit more than an order of magnitude difference."
That's interesting. I was under the assumption polymers would indeed be cheaper.

honestly this argument is a copout and an incorrect representation of ‘growth’. The Western economies have actually been ‘growing’ mostly abstractly: think financial derivatives, etc. In real economic terms it has been deindustrialising for decades now. Real, tangible, economic growth has mostly been occurring in places like China and India. Africa is going to be a huge growth area (again, in real tangible terms like steel, concrete, fertilizer use, etc) for the rest of this century.
Put like this, demands like ‘degrowth’ become absurd at best, and neocolonialism at worst. Who are we to say Africa has to remain dirt poor just because we in the West already used ip all the ‘carbon credit’ for the planet?
No, the point has always been how to ‘decouple’ economic (real) growth from impacts on the environment. How do we develop humanity sustainably? This starts with an abundance of energy, but also developing technologies to be sustainable in other areas, like agriculture which is currently using half the planet, for a large part to produce meat.
Degrowth has never been an answer to this. Just a distraction.

I had a late night thought: why do we build the domes of PWR plants with concrete actually? Hear me out:
The function of a dome, or containment, is to play a critical role in the most severe nuclear reactor accidents, it is only designed to contain or condense steam in the short term.
Polymers can do that, no sweat.
So, why don’t we build plastic domes?
There’s a concern on radiation containment, and I get that, concrete is great for blocking radiation. So, outside the dome we build one or two layers of cheap concrete ‘lego’ blocks (see picture below). Cheap and super fast to construct. Think days instead of months.
Can people in the know chime in on this? Given that 60% of a PWR plant is nuclear grade concrete, this could actually bring construction costs down considerably, while having no effect on safety.
And before people read stuff I didn’t say: I’m not saying we replace all the concrete with polymers. A core catcher for example would probably need to be made from concrete still. But a dome?
Let’s hear it, I’m interested 🙂

"Als alternatief had Duitsland zijn bestaande kernenergie in 2002 kunnen behouden en, volgens Emblemsvåg, kunnen investeren in nieuwe kernenergiecapaciteit. Uit de analyse van deze twee alternatieven blijkt dat Duitsland zijn broeikasgasemissiedoelstelling gemakkelijk had kunnen halen door de emissies tegen 2022 met 73% te verminderen bovenop de reeds bereikte niveaus en tegelijkertijd de uitgaven te halveren ten opzichte van de energietransitie.
Zijn conclusie: Duitsland had daarom een energiebeleid moeten voeren dat gebaseerd was op het behoud en de uitbreiding van kernenergie."
en
“Al met al zou het kernenergiebeleid, inclusief het in bedrijf houden van de bestaande kerncentrales in 2002, uitgaven hebben gevergd van in totaal 364 miljard euro, dus 332 miljard euro minder dan de energietransitie.”

On the #Brazil ban: I'm kind of surprised the joinmastodon website doesn't have a section welcoming Brazilian users, showing them the best servers. If you filter on 'South America', you get one (yes, 1) server suggestion. I've seen lists showing many more.
Also, where is Eugen in the media? Bluesky boasts 1 million sign ups in the last three days. Where is Mastodon in the headlines? Surely *now* is the time to introduce people to this network? After all, *now* is the time tens of millions of people are looking for a new home.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: establishing a network effect (that is, people being on a platform that you want to follow) is the single most determinant for people bothering to join a social media network and staying there. Moments like these come by rarely and should be snatched up as if they were candy.

🇬🇧 Britain increases funding for new nuclear reactor at Sizewell C, a plan to power 6 million homes with 24/7 clean energy. The total has been raised to 5.5 billion pounds for the project.
These units get built for 80 years service or more. Together with Hinkley Point C and Sizewell B (a single unit PWR which has been delivering since 1996) the total would be around 60 TWh annually, or around 17% of the UK electricity consumption.
The UK has several legacy nuclear sites, which could be repurposed for these new safe units. I hope the new Labour government goes ahead and pushes forward.

As we seem yet another one of these nuclear container ship articles come by, I keep missing something that has been raised in my comments again and again: what about piracy?
For my two cents: I don't think piracy is going to be a huge issue. We're talking about industrial scale equipment here, not something you could likely steal, unless you take the whole ship with you.
And say you do, then what? I have a humble guess that there aren't many nuclear engineers among Somali pirates, that know what they're doing when it comes to this stuff. So, what could they realistically do with it? Even the scenario of a 'dirty bomb' is far fetched: the physics just don't really work out for this material that has low enrichment.
So, let's move on with this and decarbonise the world's container shipping fleet already.

Regarding mining, I'll share below chart. As you can clearly see, the amount of resources needed is, by far, smallest for nuclear. But I agree mining in general needs to be improved. Abysmal working conditions and imperialist exploitative relations need to be attacked. This goes for all mining though.
As for land use, you're incorrect regarding solar. I've included a second chart, this time from Our World in Data, for your convenience.
I'm not sure how nuclear power inherently perpetuates private property and imperialism? I already explained that renewables have similar (but bigger in scale, as more resources are needed) problems in third world countries. For example the child miners in Congo mining cobalt. Furthermore, I would argue that a decentralised grid powered by solar and wind would actually create a petty bourgeois proprietor system of electricity. This is indeed a political problem.
As for bombs: civilian nuclear reactors aren't the best way to make bombs (it is at best a theoretical possibility). Therefore, this is hardly an argument against civilian nuclear energy.

The Westinghouse eVinci engineering teams crafted a full-diameter mechanical cross-section of the eVinci core, which comes in at an impressive 14,500 kg! Measuring more than 3 meters in diameter, the structure was assembled vertically before it was tilted into a horizontal position. It's the same process that'll be used at full-scale manufacturing.
Using identical materials as those used in the eVinci microreactor, this test sets the stage to commence work on the eVinci test reactor.

I don't know about the safety record of the plant. Care to share? These canisters are standardized though and able to withstand a lot.

I don't understand your comment: what are you missing?
It's not my picture, but I don't see the issue you're raising.
As for capacity factors: France for example has 'poor' capacity factors, but this is intentional and expected in a majority nuclear fleet, where production has to follow consumption. China is far away from that reality.

THAT'S IT? This is what 20 years worth of spent nuclear fuel looks like safely stored at the former Maine Yankee nuclear plant.
The energy produced from this fuel helped avoid 70 million metric tons of CO2 emissions.

People call me a cynic when I say that I expect the first commercial fusion reactors on the grid not before the year 2100. This news, carrying yet another decade of delays for a prototype (!) fuels my cynicism.

Today is #ShowYourStripes day which raises awareness of our changing climate, driven by human activity such as the burning of fossil fuels and destructive land clearing.
This version by [@weplanetint.bsky.social](https://bsky.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/weplanetint.bsky.social ) of the climate stripes shows what we are working to achieve.
It's not enough to simply prevent further damage to our earths systems, we need to reverse the damage that we have already caused.

This is where we need to go to make an impact on meat consumption.

This is a nuclear reactor. And it’s made… out of glass. What makes this one special is that it's not producing power. This amazing simulator model is made primarily out of glass so that nuclear engineers can train, teach, and better understand how something that seems as complex as generating nuclear power is actually a lot more simple than it looks.

Vandaag was ik op bezoek bij Borssele. De baard ben ik. Hier staat ons groepje in de simulator van de controlekamer. Helaas was het nog in opbouw, dus ik heb geen SCRAM kunnen simuleren 😝
Heel toffe rondleiding. Raad hem iedereen aan! Morgen op bezoek bij COVRA ☺️

CSIRO and AEMO are Australian institutions that are often cited by anti-nuclears for their reports, which put nuclear energy at a hugely inflated price. Why is it though that they're so far off from all others in the world in judging the price?
Turns out, they do some creative accounting tricks.

Welcome back to our laboratory! A few days ago, we went to the Kyiv electronic junk market and, by pure accident, found this incredible thing. This is a vintage control panel from a Soviet mainframe computer, the ES-1050. The panel has almost three hundred signal lights and more than a hundred switches. There's a lot of work ahead, but I believe that once repaired, it will look truly gorgeous.

Now that we have a new EP, it's time to talk about abolishing the merit order, where the energy source with the lowest marginal cost gets priority on the grid. The idea is that consumers pay the lowest price. In practice, solar and wind get backed mostly by gas, raising the price by 4 or 5x.
Below article is an example of the stupidity of this: dispatchable nuclear has to be shut down for solar and wind. It should be the other way around, prioritising net stability!

Michelle Johnston is the president of the society of united professionals, a union which is at the forefront of ensuring employee's in the nuclear industry remain empowered. In this conversation, she talks about the advantages of being a unionized employee, Canada's top pension plans, and the protection of worker rights in unionized environments. Labour relations is an important topic, whether it comes to negotiation of salaries and ensuring optimal working conditions.

Though China built upon a foreign base of technology, it has become the world’s leading proponent of nuclear energy. Chinese firms are well ahead of their Western peers, supported by a whole-of-government strategy that provides extensive financing and systemic coordination.

In the runup to the British elections next month, YouGov polled the policies from the election manifestos of the different parties. Despite huge support for other policies, the Green Party's blind spot for nuclear energy is a big unpopular exception. On this point - and in the midst of a climate emergency - frankly a bit of an embarrassment.
