Fusion-energy quest makes big advance with EU-Japan reactor [ Nuclear reactor ]

Celebrating my first month with Thinkproject! with a weekend away in Italy! 🍝 Reflecting on my awe-inspiring few weeks, I've learned much about our mission, values, and undoubtedly the most significant energy project ever - ITER Organization. ITER is developing a €22bn project in southern France, replicating a star to generate endless electricity via nuclear fusion. ⚛️ This technology will produce up to 4x cleaner energy than oil and gas! accelerating to a carbon-free future Check out our case study to learn more about how Thinkproject is making a difference in the world of nuclear fission. 👀 #casestudy #thinkproject #ITER #nuclearfussion #contractmanagement

Is nuclear fusion finally getting real?

Small Compact Nuclear Fusion Energy is a key argument/point for worldwide peace.

In the pursuit of a sustainable energy future capable of underpinning the burgeoning digital infrastructure demands of the coming era, nuclear power is a pivotal component of a diversified energy portfolio. Education is paramount to dispelling prevalent myths, nuclear energy ranks as one of the safest modes of electricity generation available today. Nuclear power not only meets stringent safety standards but sets new benchmarks for the future, making it a cornerstone in the transition to a more secure, reliable, and clean energy landscape. Nuclear energy offers high energy density, meaning it provides a significant amount of energy from a small amount of fuel, leading to reduced greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels. This characteristic, coupled with its ability to supply consistent, base-load power, makes nuclear a vital component in the clean energy mix, essential for achieving carbon neutrality. The sustainability of nuclear power is further underscored by advancedments in recycling spent fuel. These innovations promise to extend fuel supplies, reduce waste, and even transform long-lived radioactive waste into less harmful forms. As global energy demand continues to grow, nuclear energy's role becomes increasingly critical. With its unmatched reliability, low emissions, and technological advancements, nuclear power not only addresses the immediate challenges of climate change but also paves the way for a sustainable, clean energy future. Governments are getting behind it globally and it’s now important for policymakers to leave the politics aside in Australia and recognize nuclear energy's potential. The government should start the education and planning process to objectively do the work to integrate nuclear into our long-term energy mix strategies as we look towards 2050. #ai #digitalinfrastructure #sustainability #energymix

The future is coming sooner than you think. The demand for more power driving the energy transition intersects with the digital transformation. I had elements of this exact discussion with leaders in electrical distribution, mining equipment manufacturing, data center engineering, and wireless integration this past week. #Nuclear energy and small module reactors are absolutely one part of the solution. AI is without question accelerating these trends and demand for energy. #prysmian is at the center of it all. #connecttolead

The antipodeans Sir Ernest Rutherford "father of nuclear physics" and Sir Mark Oliphant, "Opposer of the fission bomb" were the first experimental demonstrators of nuclear fusion. Why then are the Australian Government and the Federal Opposition not working to get it developed in Australia and bring it back home? New Zealand has, so why not Australia? Interesting articles about Nuclear and I know you haven't looked at Fusion. So let's look at the nuclear or Fission option versus Fusion 1. Fission (Nuclear) Not able to be licenced. https://lnkd.in/gbm2t5uU 2. Authorities have the power to grant licenses for fusion, which is not explicitly covered by the Nuclear Act or the ARPANSA definition. https://lnkd.in/gjKFABpy The above ARPANSA link defines nuclear as fission—no mention of Fusion. 3. A fission (Nuclear)reactor without fissile fuel is a building. 4. A fusion reactor without fissile fuel is a fusion reactor building 5, Fissile (Nuclear) fuel availability and the future cost is a concern, especially for economists and users Dittmar, M. (2011). The End of Cheap Uranium. ArXiv. /abs/1106.3617 Even the UN has identified this, so why does the Fission(Nuclear) industry persist in denying its death like fossil fuels https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr 6. Should the focus in Australia be on nuclear fission advancement or the promotion of fusion technology? 7, Fission (Nuclear) is only at present in 39 countries out of 189. 8. Is Dutton doing a Menzies and wanting a loophole to get fission (Nuclear) weapons to start with for the subs? 9. Australia still has no high-level radiation waste storage facility 10. Helion Fusion has committed to having its fusion version working in 2028 11. The FIA (Fusion Industry Association) has postulated that commercial power fusion will be available in the 2030s. 12. In its fusion conference report in 2023, the IAEA postulated that all International nuclear (Fission) Laws like the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty do not consider fusion, so it seems it can be built in Australia now. 13. Fusion is also being developed "Small Modular Fusion Reactors" like Zap Energy and Avalanche Energy. 14. HB11 and the UNSW Tokamak project have positioned Australia prominently in the trillion-dollar international fusion industry. Instead of relying on fission with a limited lifetime, wouldn't it be preferable to support Australian renewables, batteries, and hydrogen energy generators and back them up with a fusion power plant? This would eliminate the traditional waste problem while still providing medical isotopes and advancements in medical technology like MRIs. Let's focus on creating a sustainable future for Australia instead of perpetuating pollution and leading to an energy crisis. https://lnkd.in/ekakyifA

PRAGMATISM DRIVES NUCLEAR Nov 19, 2024 One example, although little publicized, is the recognition of the essential role of nuclear energy in achieving the goals of reducing emissions by 2050. https://lnkd.in/d77dXptE
