Never really understood how #nuclear is a part of the #affordability argument when it is one of the most expensive sources of electricity even after decades of being deployed worldwide. #Clean - sure. But #cheap?

If this logic would apply, we would already be in nuclear winter. "Oreshnik"

What it actually shows, is, how inefficient nuclear weapon really are. You can threaten with them. But you can't use them.

They are expensive but have not much of a use. Except feeling strong.

Meanwhile:

"Safety fears as external power to #Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant still out after three days”

This would lead to a station blackout which is what happened at Fukushima. Reactors need electricity to cool #nuclear fuel, otherwise the fuel melts.

The 6 reactors are currently powered by backup generators.

“It is difficult to explain to a hiring committee why, in the course of ten years, I have so few publications,” Shavanova adds. “But when you are fighting for your life, you can’t invest in your future.”

Amidst the Russian invasion, Ukrainian scientists that have been researching in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone are forced to rethink their work and their purpose.

Whether you see Sizewell C #nuclear as vital low-carbon power for the future, or an expensive mistake, this amount of funding for #nature is not too shoddy. Fingers crossed that they allow the charity proper independence and a strategic approach, rather than tokenistic / photogenic short term projects.

While #nuclearenergy is not #fossil it not #green at all - but #colonial , #deadly & totally unfair because, like in AI, the #profits are being privatised, the costs are hitting the whole #society & the #planet

But from the point of view of someone believing in #cybernetics or one of its #TESCREAL grandchildren it is great - because in cybernetics EVERY problem will be solved in "the future" by "technology"

#Iran says it launched attack on #US forces at Qatar’s #AlUdeidAir Base

Iran launched a missile attack Monday on a US #military base in #Qatar, retaliating for the American bombing of its #nuclear sites.

The announcement was made on state TV as martial music played. A caption on screen called it “a mighty & successful response by the armed forces of Iran to America’s aggression.”

Explosions were reported near a #US #military #base in #Qatar Monday after #Iran vows to retaliate for #Trump’s assault on #nuclear sites. The development coincided with a warning from the US #Embassy in Qatar’s capital, #Doha, urging American citizens there to shelter in place. Qatar’s govt on Monday also closed its airspace & suspended flights as a “precautionary measure” while the #MiddleEast braces for a potential expansion of the fighting between #Israel & Iran.

Israel attacks Iran’s Arak heavy-water nuclear reactor: Report

The Reuters news agency, citing Iranian state television, reports that the Arak heavy-water reactor has been attacked in Iran.

The results suggest that while the #IEA has accurately anticipated primary and final energy demand growth, it has historically overestimated the growth in #fossil #fuels and #nuclear #electricity generation and severely underestimated the growth in key #renewable #technologies including solar #photovoltaics and #wind #power, the latter occurring across scenarios.

• #WEO #energy scenarios have significantly underestimated #solar PV growth potential.
• Outlook and normative scenarios indicate bias for nuclear and against renewables.
• Power-to-X flexibility options exist in the #GEC model, though their use is limited.
• Increased #transparency of assumptions for key technologies is required.
• Exogenous limitations of key technologies may impede global energy transitions.

En 2022, en plena crisis de la #energía⚡ tras la invasión de Ucrania, Emmanuel #Macron dijo en un famoso discurso que #Francia🇫🇷 debía redoblar su apuesta por la #nucelar⚛️ y construir seis reactores de ultimísima generación que deberían ponerse en marcha en 2035.

Nucléaire : l'Elysée évoque "une première mise en service" des réacteurs EPR2 "d'ici 2038" au lieu de 2035

Emmanuel Macron a présidé un conseil de politique nucléaire lundi pour examiner notamment les "grands principes du schéma de financement" de ce programme EPR2.

Justo cuando empezaban a cantar victoria por la puesta en marcha de Flamanville 3 (más de 10 años más tarde y 13.000 millones más caro de lo previsto), la industria #nucelar⚛️ de #Francia🇫🇷 se lleva una pedrada: el hormigón comprado para el nuevo reactor de la central #nuclear de Penly está por debajo de los estándares previstos y obliga a un nuevo retraso

Le béton du futur EPR de Penly n’est pas conforme aux normes de sécurité
