Wow! >>> Bloomberg data estimates that 30 gigawatts of #solarenergy—equivalent to 30 nuclear reactors—will be lost today because the #eclipse will partially block sunlight for #solar fields. Read more here… https://lnkd.in/ekEMcTaK #renewableenergy #energy #sustainability #solarpower #eclipse

American and British nuclear projects are among the costliest in the world.

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

The world is talking about small modular reactors (SMRs), which could potentially revolutionize the nuclear power industry, boost energy production, and help countries achieve net-zero emission targets. From small footprint requirements to cost and safety benefits, SMRs provide significant advantages compared to conventional nuclear plants — but they come with unique manufacturing and construction challenges.

France has introduced a new energy strategy that sees the development of up to 14 nuclear power plants to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Read more: https://hubs.ly/Q02g62cP0 The proposed draft law targets the construction of at least six new European Pressurized Reactors, while an additional eight reactors may be optioned to meet the country’s goal of reducing fossil fuel dependency from 60% to 40% by 2035. #ECPNews #renewableenergy #powerplant

With new legislation boosting uranium demand, is nuclear power the unsung hero of green energy? #NuclearEnergy #Uranium #SustainableEnergy Read more about it in our most recent Weekly Beacon: https://lnkd.in/ej4qEbCT

Join us for an engaging session on "Driving nuclear energy forward: advancing technologies, overcoming regulatory challenges, and fostering collaboration" This panel will provide a comprehensive overview of the current progress in nuclear energy, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. We will discuss the enabling conditions necessary for sustainable growth within the nuclear energy sector, focusing on collaborative strategies among governments, industry leaders, and civil society. Join us as we explore how we can collectively drive forward the nuclear energy agenda in alignment with global climate goals.

As the future of clean, sustainable energy unfolds, SMRs are emerging as a viable and exciting solution.

📰 In today's Daily Telegraph, Our CEO calls out the federal Government's decision to put nuclear reactors under the ocean but not on land where they could provide reliable, affordable energy 24/7. ➡️ Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/gTNgUnbT #auspol #energy #nswmining

Best invest in Building and talking about Fusion power, space, maritime propulsion systems and industry as data centres are. Great Headline, Guardian on Nuclear fission. https://lnkd.in/g8sMZtpR People talk about Nuclear (meaning Fission) and fail to discuss fusion. https://lnkd.in/ge_aeX7M The nuclear fission industry is ignorant of what's happening around it. It must pull its collective uranium heads out of the sand and prepare to enter the commercially growing fusion energy industry. Fission is moving towards obsolescence at an ever-increasing pace, as it is "out of step, out of time, out of place, and soon to be out of Fuel" and merely temporary. https://lnkd.in/gbd_mZqk 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 is happening in the world of the fusion industry. https://lnkd.in/g9hMBD7a As fission trebles, fuel shortage is increasingly real, https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr
