Aecon - Charlotte Operations’ Post

Kicking off the afternoon session, we've moved into a Q&A session, entitled 'The Workforce Challenge', to discuss questions of capacity and capability for Great Britain's nuclear industry. Sir Simon Bollom, Chair of the Nuclear Skills Taskforce and Michael Finnerty, our Director of Regulation - Operating Facilities Division, talk about how we start to influence a joined‑up and industry-wide approach to building and sustaining a resilient, capable workforce for the future. #ONRconf23

As the industry continues to expand on new technologies Orano is there with the answers.

UNPARALLELED Support for NEW Nuclear.! With great continued DOE Support combined with U.S. Congress and White House Acts/Initiatives to build more Reactors in the U.S. After more than 30 years, it's about time for U.S. Utilities/TVA/Industries to ORDER/Sign CONTRACT*** for FIRST NEW Nuclear Plant in the U.S.! - One or more of the Leading SMRs developed in THE U.S. - One or more of the Successfully Operating Large Size Advanced Generation III+ Reactor developed in THE U.S.. Btw: Time seems to be just right to take many "Real" Advantages/Benefits from the AP1000- Vogtle 3 & 4 Completed/Operational in THE U.S. *** Suggest follow the North America Leader in NEW Nuclear- Next door good Neighbor CANADA. (Ordered Fleet of BWRX-300 SMR. (& initial Site work already Started) #DATABASE(1970-2024)

Repowering Coal Sites with Nuclear The ADVANCE Act also enables the cleanup and reuse of brownfield sites, including retired or retiring coal plants. Our analysis shows that hundreds of these coal sites could be converted into nuclear power plants to help keep high-paying jobs and economic opportunities in these energy communities. The NRC will examine and streamline licensing processes for nuclear facilities at these sites and will also take into account the associated infrastructure as part of the process. The NRC is currently reviewing TerraPower’s construction permit application to build its Natrium reactor near a retiring coal plant in Kemmerer, Wyoming. If approved, it would be the first one issued by the NRC for a commercial non-light water reactor and will pave the way for other designs looking to do the same at similar brownfield sites.

The passing of the ADVANCE Act should really help us get more reactors online, more quickly, having a huge, positive impact on the grid. INL breaks down some great information on their site about the impact nuclear energy can have on our increasing demands: https://lnkd.in/epfkhwCA

Start to discuss the future use of Nuclear fusion in the maritime industry.

We just took a big step forward in building more reactors in the U.S. President Biden recently signed the ADVANCE Act into law, which is expected to speed up the licensing and deployment of new reactors. U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Mike Goff breaks down this latest legislative win for our domestic nuclear sector: https://bit.ly/3WdTysu

Tales from the field - the Nuclear Industry come back! On Sept 7th, 30 skilled and experienced people gathered in Gerland for the "Supply Chain new comers' day" to discuss the Framatome’s Key Principles for a Secure, Compliant and Effective supply chain. The very productive conversations demonstrate, once again, the new attractivity of the Nuclear Industry!

Great Headline Guardian on Nuclear fission. https://lnkd.in/g8sMZtpR Fission is moving towards obsolescence at an accelerated pace, as it is "out of step, out of time, out of place," and merely a temporary industry globally. Commercial fusion electrical energy generation is a promising and innovative method of producing sustainable and clean energy. By 2028, Helion is expected to start producing electricity from its first fusion commercial power plant, which will provide electricity to Microsoft. The plant will produce at least 50 MWe after an initial ramp-up period. https://lnkd.in/gY9J3MQY If you want nuclear energy, opt for the cleaner and safer option of FUSION. Now see what news is happening in the Fusion industry in the world. https://lnkd.in/g9hMBD7a As fission trebles, fission fuel shortage in 100 or 80 years is increasingly real, as stated in recent UN documents and linked below. https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr
