“Imagine you live in a world with cars but no seatbelts, no airbags or any other safety features. That’s the world we live in right now when it comes to nuclear war.” Senior Researcher Christian Ruhl joined Luisa Rodriguez on the 80k After Hours podcast. Essential listening to understand the current state of nuclear risk and the new nuclear age, and how we can develop the seatbelts and airbags of the nuclear world. https://lnkd.in/eX_gJbYk

What a great episode from BG2 in this weeks podcast at the PG&E Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant in CA. As Denken Solutions serve more clients in the Utility industry with Nuclear capability and as our customers work on more internal LLM projects, this is something I am trying to educate myself more on. Some of the key highlights in the podcast: - In the past quarter century or so, the US has added 2 nuclear reactors and China over 40 - Westinghouse electric pioneered this technology - It takes ~ 12 - 15 years for the US to start a new nuclear reactor - In China and South Korea ~ 6 years. - AI is a power hog - Nvidia’s 3.76 million GPU shipments in 2023 could consume as much 14,384 GWh and power is the foundation to our AI future

Invest in Build Fusion energy generators Your talk is Nuclear (meaning only Fission) and fails to talk about fusion. https://lnkd.in/ge_aeX7M The nuclear fission industry is, ignorant of what's happening around you. Pull your uranium heads out, start adjusting your industry to fusion energy and start preparing to enter the commercially growing fusion energy industry. As it dawns on Earth like the sun. 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. https://lnkd.in/gbd_mZqk Commercial fusion electrical 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 Now see what news is happening in the Fusion industry in the world. https://lnkd.in/g9hMBD7a As fission trebles, fission fuel shortage is increasingly real, as linked below. https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr

Today, as we commemorate the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (August 6-9, 1945), we reflect on the past and envision a brighter future with Nuclear Now. This insightful documentary by Oliver Stone explores how France, Russia, and the US are harnessing nuclear energy to fight climate change and energy poverty. By dispelling myths and showcasing the positive potential of nuclear power, Nuclear Now reminds us that with knowledge and innovation, we can turn a once-feared technology into a powerful tool for good.
