What's this coal-to-nuclear thing all about? This guidebook is an excellent place to start for communities who are considering replacing a retired or retiring coal plant with nuclear power. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eRJ_inEz

If we die-die cannot extend coal power plants even if they are retrofitted for co-firing, we die-die have to think of alternatives for gas baseload plants wan 😅 Fret not, coal-to-nuclear transition is already a thing globally and has shown positive proven results in terms of GHG reduction, energy reliability, job security, etc. But if rakyat die-die dowan nuclear power, we need to rethink our strategy in managing demand lah. This includes among others work-from-home empowerment, sell your office lol, don’t la go too aggressive on EV, voluntary load shedding mechanism, mandate BEI/ MS1525 for new buildings, etc. Regardless, I personally think that coal-to-nuclear is really our future. Hoping to still be alive to see it materialise but then again, our Prophet Muhammad PBUH has already pesan that if kiamat is near, we die-die have to plant tree wan 😅 Anas Ibn Malik reported that the Prophet said "If the Final Hour comes while you have a shoot of a plant in your hands and it is possible to plant it before the Hour comes, you should plant it."

Nearly 30 percent of U.S. coal-fired power plants are projected to retire by 2035 as states transition to cleaner energy sources. The U.S. Department of Energy is researching the feasibility of converting the nation’s retiring coal plants to nuclear power plants by leveraging the existing workforce and some of the infrastructure in these energy communities. This coal-to-nuclear transition could preserve hundreds of jobs that would otherwise be lost and lead to the creation of new jobs, economic opportunities, and overall improved health of communities most-impacted by fossil fuel pollution.

If we truly commit to prioritizing the elimination of fossil fuels as a nation, then nuclear power emerges as the most viable solution to power our electric grid and high-speed rail systems.

When people say they give 110%, they don’t mean they give 110% of what they’re capable of. That’s impossible. What they mean is that they give 110% of what it’s safe for them to give. And you can’t run a nuclear reactor at 110% of what is safe 100% of the time.

A series of recent federal circuit court decisions have brought to the forefront and called into question what has long been viewed as established precedent on the NRC’s authority under the Atomic Energy Act (“AEA”) to license spent fuel storage facilities away from nuclear reactor sites—what is often called a “consolidated interim storage”—or CIS—facility.
