Nog update hierover? Outages gebeuren niet vaak, maar we waren ruim een uur (wat ik gemerkt heb) offline. Een mastodon account met status updates zou fijn zijn 🙂

Public ownership would be a great idea, but it would still incur costs in the immediate sense. Things have to be updated and maintained.

“The blasting had been planned for 5.30pm but was delayed after a 36-year-old pro-nuclear protester scaled an electricity pylon near the towers in protest at their demolition.”

Andreas Fichtner is now facing a legal battle for this protest. If you want to help out, please consider a donation.

Great overview, but I have two notes:

1. A mention is made of the proliferation risks due to purified plutonium. But no mention is made of the difference between weaponsgrade Pu-239 and useless Pu-240. Pu-240 has the annoying characteristic that it can ‘spontaneously’ fission, which of course for is highly undesirable in warheads. These are mixed up and hard to separate. This simple fact makes proliferation risks at best a theoretical scenario.
2. Vitrification of the fission products is explained well, but is still accompanied with the obligatory “hundreds of thousands of years” comment. This is incorrect. After 300 years, these fission products are no longer radiotoxic.

Several countries, and I guess Italy is among them, have decommissioning regulation where the old unit first has to ‘cool off’ for a few decades before the building can be torn down.

So, to answer of whether it is this or that, I answer: yes.

Did not expect this to go to any other company but a Russian one tbh.

Really impressive that their design can be transported as a 200 MWe module. That truly brings the SMR promise closer!

Well, he knows about this community now! 🙂

So, you’re then saying that nuclear is somehow more threatening to our future than fossil energy is? Wow. Thanks for being clear where you stand I guess.

Just for the record: fossil fuels not only change our planet’s climate, it also kills millions of people each year due to air pollution.

Als Limburger is dit echt extreem herkenbaar.

Dit excuus was er natuurlijk ook gekomen zonder dat er een camera aan het draaien was.

Toch?

Yes, erg goede ontwikkeling, zoals ik gister al stelde op het Tweakers forum: Nu blijft de access dus altijd open, is het in eigen beheer en is het alvast (straks) compatibel met Threads. Slim!

Musk heeft inmiddels de beperkingen weer grotendeels ongedaan gemaakt en de zwarte piet wordt nu afgeschoven op bots…
