Nuclear power is the REAL deal! Staggering statistics for a true carbon free, long term power generation, particularly in the Southeast: “It analyzed the regional- and state-level economic impact of the nuclear industry in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. The five-state region generates approximately 37 percent of its electricity from nuclear power plants. According to the report, nuclear power plants in the region have an estimated annual economic impact of $42.9 billion. This corresponds to 152,598 jobs and $13.7 billion in labor income. The study also estimated that future investments in nuclear power plants in the region would yield a two-to-one economic output-to-input ratio.” https://lnkd.in/euYCQvCp

Just in case anyone believes the Government’s and some expert commentators lie that “the case for nuclear (energy) in Australia has never been done”, check out the  “Inquiry Into Nuclear Prohibition”, completed for the Victorian Government in 2020 by a former Director Engineering of ANSTO. The “Submission Summary” reads. “ The pressing requirement to replace at least 20 GWe of retiring dispatchable coal fired electricity generation plant in Victoria and other States over the next few decades presents an unprecedented opportunity to financially stabilise the sector and provide significant flow on manufacturing growth to Victoria and the economy as a whole. A nuclear power electricity generation investment program is shown to be the least cost alternative of all current viable power station replacement options by the OECD - NEA and Australian engineering studies. Subject to final feasibility study, all technical and economic assessment to date indicates that the introduction of a progressive nuclear power investment program will provide minimum cost reliable supply while significantly decarbonising the sector in line with international expectations and agreements”. A nuclear industry could re-energise our heavy engineering / manufacturing sector which used to be capable of manufacturing the types of high quality processing equipment needed in such facilities - if our government seriously believes we can manufacture nuclear submarines here, we could manufacture components for nuclear energy facilities.

The UK government has recently announced plans to construct a third new 3.2 GW nuclear plant, a significant development in the country's energy sector.

This presents a promising outlook for skilled professionals seeking new career prospects and for businesses looking to expand in the energy and construction industries. The demand for talent with expertise in nuclear engineering, project management, and various other technical disciplines is expected to rise as the construction of the new plant progresses. 🌐👷♂️💼 Overall, the announcement of plans to build a third new 3.2 GW nuclear plant is a positive step towards securing a sustainable and reliable energy supply for the UK. It not only presents opportunities for job creation and economic growth but also aligns with the global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. I look forward to witnessing the positive impacts of this decision on the energy sector and the broader economy. #BuildThirdNew #NuclearPlant #Rigzone in contrast to my following post

India is advancing its energy sector by planning to build 18 new nuclear reactors by 2032, adding 13.8 GW to its nuclear capacity. This development will increase India's total nuclear power output to 22.48 GW, highlighting a move towards more sustainable energy sources. For the first time, the country is seeking private investments in the nuclear sector, aiming for $26 billion to support this expansion. Discussions are underway with major corporations like Reliance Industries, Tata Power, Adani Power, and Vedanta Ltd, each considering significant investments. This initiative aligns with India's objective to have 50% of its power generation from non-fossil fuels by 2030, contributing to its clean energy goals and showcasing a commitment to technological advancement and sustainability. #NuclearPower #CleanEnergy #IndiaEnergyTransition #SustainableDevelopment

Invest Building Fusion energy, space and maritime propulsion systems, Your talk is Nuclear (meaning Fission) and fails to discuss 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 innovative sustainable and clean energy method. 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

As the world moves away from traditional fossil fuels towards clean energy alternatives, the demand for nuclear power ☢️ has increased, energy suppliers are faced with the challenge of producing facilities that meet national and international quality and safety requirements while staying on time and within budget. UK-based company Sheffield Forgemaster says it is on track to regain #ASME status as a supplier of heavy forgings and castings to the civil nuclear market, to position it for the proposed large-scale expansion of nuclear power capacity in the country. Quality assurance and accreditation are extremely important to reassure customers that their nuclear power plants are safe and resilient in all circumstances. Following ASME recommendations mean that they can supply castings and forgings (materials) for civil nuclear applications and be qualified to perform welding engineering activities on these materials.👏🏾☢️🌍💡.

Nuclear Power for the WIN! The best alternative to fossil fuels and renewable energy in regards to environmental impact and output reliability.

The UAE's consideration of building a second nuclear power plant reflects its commitment to diversifying its energy sources and meeting the growing demand for electricity. The country's embrace of nuclear power as a low-carbon energy option aligns with global efforts to reduce carbon emissions. The potential construction of a second plant could further enhance the UAE's energy security and attract foreign investment. However, careful planning and assessment of the economic, environmental, and safety implications are crucial in the decision-making process. Overall, the UAE's exploration of nuclear energy expansion presents both opportunities and challenges in its pursuit of sustainable development. #sustainability #energy #NuclearPower #uae

🚨 BREAKING NEWS The UK government has announced that the procurement for STEP will launch on 22 May. Engineering and construction companies will be invited to bid for up to £600 million to build the first commercially viable fusion prototype power plant at a former coal plant in Nottinghamshire. The announcement is part of a press release relating to the UK's investment in next generation nuclear technologies and fuel. Also announced, a consultation that proposes designating all fusion plants nationally significant infrastructure projects that will be assessed by the Planning Inspectorate and ultimately decided on by the Secretary of State for energy. Paul Methven, CEO, UK Industrial Fusion Solutions, responsible for the delivery of STEP, said:  “We are looking towards a very significant milestone for STEP in the next two weeks as we are set to launch our search for industrial partners in engineering and construction who will join us in designing and delivering the STEP prototype plant at West Burton. This will demonstrate that fusion energy can work, and through that endeavour, we will develop an industry that can deliver commercial fusion for decades beyond. “The launch of formal consultation on a National Policy Statement for fusion energy is very welcome and an important milestone in the journey towards a new energy source, deployed in the right way. It reflects the UK’s proactive leadership in fusion energy by putting in place the critical enablers that all fusion developments will need, and in a way that will bring communities and the public along.” See the full release https://lnkd.in/ePjqd2A6
