As the generation that benefitted from nuclear power, it is our responsibility to provide a solution for the spent nuclear fuel. We owe it to future generations to address this issue and should not pass on the burden and costs to them. Learn why federal action is needed below ⬇️   https://bit.ly/4cibw3i

#China has launched the world's first #thorium nuclear reactor, a significant step towards cleaner and safer nuclear energy. Benefits --------- - Thorium is safer, more abundant, and produces less waste than uranium, offering a potential solution to fuel shortages and climate crisis. - Thorium reactors use molten salt as the fuel carrier and coolant, making them more efficient and suitable for regions with limited water resources. Despite its advantages, thorium was sidelined in the past due to its inability to produce weapons-grade material. Today, with the focus on clean energy and sustainability, thorium's potential is being recognized worldwide. Companies and countries, including TerraPower in the US and European countries, are investing in thorium research and advanced reactor designs. https://lnkd.in/eSfQNDAj

At $3.30 per Watt, at the lowest, vs $1.00 or less for other carbon free sources, who will buy this new nuclear technology? Will rate payers accept a tripling of rates? https://loom.ly/JhxzGZI

There won´t be #NetZero without #NuclearPower!!! A loud and clear reason pushing to historical non nuclear countries such as #Norway to change its decades of #EnergyStrategy to evolve to get #NuclearPower included into its #EnergyMix. With this in mind, domestic companies such as Norsk Kjernekraft are exploring options to collaborate with #InternationalNuclearOEMs, specially with those offering #SMRs, such as X-energy, to sign agreements to explore #SMRDeployment...

The nuclear sector is witnessing a significant transformation with the rise of small modular reactors (SMRs). These innovations promise to redefine energy strategies, offering scalable solutions that are suited to diverse environments and demands. Read our latest blog post - https://lnkd.in/eHNGjkek

NUCLEAR ENERGY IS CIMING BACK https://lnkd.in/datZ7hrJ

If you squint, you can see a thin blue line on the Onagawa 2 chart showing the nuclear reactor has resumed operations as of 19:00 Japan time, but with zero output. First #power generation, since Fukushima disaster, expected in early November. At full 825MW capacity, the Tohoku plant should displace 75k-85k tonnes of #LNG per month. #TTF #natgas

Any country looking to become a world leader in #NuclearEnergy must not only extend life of operational fleet, but also embrace new technologies such as #SMRs, #SFRs, and more in the long term #Fusion... The energy transition will only be possible if it is based on a balanced, diverse and inclusive system, and that also affects the different options that the nuclear industry offers not only in the short term, but also in the long and very long term...
