#energy #nuclear It seems that now is the time for an open and serious dicussion on the pros and cons of new nuclear power facilities

They are, Out of step, out of time. Soon to be decommissioned. It will be interesting as the fission fuel shortage becomes real as they try to treble the industry and advances in the renewables, hydrogen grid variable generation and batteries as a system solution of energy generation for the whole of the world not just 39 countries out of 189 not just the rich but for all without weaponisation, without pollution of our waterways and without the need to bury waste that is dangerous for 1000 of tears what a waste of time you are here. Fission is an interim unlike fusion and renewables, with the grid-attached variable hydrogen generators and batteries which are deploying faster in 189 countries as opposed to the 39 that fission can Fission fuel. It is going to get tight in 100 or 80 years. Which Nuclear fission or fusion? https://lnkd.in/g36Z4k6P

Texas A&M University System Chancellor John Sharp tells John C. Moritz that the coming explosion in the state's demand for electricity makes #nuclear generation the logical solution - which is why TAMUS is a founding member of the Texas Nuclear Alliance.

#NewInTheHood The US is marching forward with a new $900 million investment in Small Modular (Nuclear) Reactors (SMRs) to take a leap in developing a new generation of nuclear power. However new advancements in the field have faced many setbacks and the cost of developing the new technology still seems to remain a prohibitive factor.

The nuclear power industry is facing a significant skills gap, and some companies are bringing back retired engineers to manage a surge in new projects. This challenge highlights the broader issue of the lack of experienced industrial workers globally. At Tacit, our solutions bridge this gap by ensuring that experienced experts can seamlessly share, and new talent can acquire, essential skills, addressing the very issue this article underscores. #tacit #knowledgegap #workforcedevelopment #nuclear #silvertsunami https://lnkd.in/dvFqmBqk

The demographic time bomb is ticking louder each day. Many mission-critical industries face the same issue highlighted in this article. Tacit is building a suite of products to address this global challenge. #product #tacit

A step closer to advanced reactor licensing!

https://lnkd.in/eaR7Vamw A great example of collaboration and expertise to safely return land once used to advance our understanding of nuclear power to an area safe enough to be used as playing fields. A great project regenerating one of our most valuable resources, space. #decommissioning #nuclear #regeneration Veolia UK KDC Veolia Decommissioning

A new DOE report suggests that the path to a U.S. nuclear renaissance runs not through SMRs or fusion but the repeated construction of familiar large-scale reactors. Here's the story: https://ow.ly/Ru2E50TJAcU #nuclear #nuclearreactors #DOE #vogtle3 #vogtle4

A good read about the lessons learned from the Vogtle project and what they might mean for future nuclear development. #energytransition #nuclear #datacenters https://lnkd.in/g9cCgfXm
