New hydroacoustic rubber coating for fifth-generation submarines

Small Modular Reactors as Saskatchewan‘s source of green energy are moving closer to deployment. Placing Saskatchewan’s first SMR at Estevan is logical as it will phase out the current coal-based electrical generation infrastructure. This is great news for the city! To have closed the mines would have crippled the community. What must be now considered is the middle part of the nuclear supply chain - converting the uranium feedstock obtained from Saskatchewan’s mines into the fuel used by the province’s SMRs. Imagine - a “Net Carbon Zero” province!

The US is finally getting serious about uranium supply security Over the last few months, a bunch of legislation has come out that could set the stage for more investment in uranium processing capacity in the US and in OECD markets. Supply security, especially for HALEU, is an important part of attracting capital for next-generation nuclear. Clients can have a read below. https://lnkd.in/g3EAd8ZC

Thanks for sharing this article, Ryan! The article discusses some recent large verdicts and what is making jurors react with "nuclear' verdicts. "Juries are going “nuclear” with greater frequency, imposing outsize verdicts on U.S. companies as they seek to stand up for the little guy, according to some studies, a trend that is making some insurance policies more costly and harder to come by. The number of cases with a corporate defendant that had a jury award of more than $10 million—what businesses and insurers call a nuclear verdict—grew more than 27% in 2023, continuing a general upward trend, according to research by Marathon Strategies, a communications and research firm."
