Terrapower to challenge Rolls-Royce in UK’s nuclear energy race byteseu.com/929783/ #BillGates #Natrium #Nuclear #NuclearEnergy #NuclearReactor #RollsRoyce #UK #US

Bytes Europe · Terrapower to challenge Rolls-Royce in UK’s nuclear energy raceBill Gates-backed Terrapower has decided to give a challenge to Rolls-Royce in the United Kingdom market for the deployment of nuclear reactors. Terrapower has submitted a letter to the UK’s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) which establishes its intention of entering the Generic Design Assessment (GDA) process. It should be noted that the company’s Natrium reactor is currently being developed in the United States. This is the first step taken by Terrapower with the intent to deploy its Natrium nuclear reactor in the international market. “I am incredibly excited to begin of the process of licensing the

A hole in protective shell over the Chernobyl reactor poses risks.

For weeks, the Ukrainian authorities have been looking for ways to repair a large hole in the protective shell that covers the fourth reactor of the decommissioned Chernobyl nuclear plant. When it was erected in 2019, the giant shell was one of the biggest structures ever moved by humans.

On 14 February, a Russian drone hit the structure.

New paper, just published in Physical Review X Energy, on the muography of the G3 nuclear reactor

by Baptiste Lefevre and co-authors
doi.org/10.1103/PRXEnergy.4.01

The visualization software I developed for #Cosmology contributed in the mapping of the inner, inaccessible structure of the reactor.

▶️ see the video and interactive visualization here: journals.aps.org/prxenergy/abs

A screenshot captured on the frontpage of the Physical Review X Energy webpage showing an article thumbnail image, title, summary and other details. Title reads "3D Reconstruction of a Nuclear Reactor by Muon Tomography: Structure Validation and Anomaly Detection". Summary reads "Muon tomography, a non-invasive technique that can be used to image large, inaccessible structures, is combined with machine learning to create a 3D reconstruction of a historical nuclear reactor that reveals material density variations, including potential anomalies in the graphite core." Dated 28 January, 2025. Thumbnail image shows a 3D reconstructions and slices of the density field of the reactor.

Captions reads "3D visualization of the postprocessing of SART’s real data reconstruction, showing an isosurface of the density field 𝑑 =1.5 together with a 𝑦 =0 slice and the corresponding technical drawing. This 3D visualization is complemented by a video in Supplemental Material".

The Lies Have It: #XcelEnergy Wins Operating Extension for Nation’s 5th Oldest Nuclear Reactor

by John Laforge, January 10, 2025

"I.F. Stone famously said, 'All governments are run by liars and nothing they say should be believed.' The aphorism applies well to #NuclearReactor operators, including Minneapolis-based Xcel Energy.

"The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (#NRC) has granted Xcel a second license extension for operating its 54-year-old #MonticelloReactor on the #MississippiRiver in #Minnesota. The decision will permit this GE jalopy, a #Fukushima clone, to run until it’s 80 years old — a dangerous feat never been done in the history of nuclear power. The NRC received over 3,000 public comments mostly critical of the extension, but the the commission has rubber stamped 87 of 92 similar requests, so call the NRC Never Really Concerned.

"The NRC nod is based partly on the commission’s Final Environmental Impact Statement (#EIS) for the re-licensing, even though the document confirms that Xcel repeatedly made false statements about its massive 2022-‘23 leak of #radioactive cooling water. According to a March 16, 2023 Associated Press (AP) story, Xcel’s first public response to the major leak was, 'There’s no danger to the public.' Xcel then proceeded to understate by more than half the leak’s actual volume, only estimating it was 400,000 gallons.

"Xcel eventually acknowledged that volume of the leak, from an old corroded underground pipe, was 829,000 gallons, and that the #groundwater plume of reactor cooling water — some of which would later reach the Mississippi River — had a radioactive footprint of some fourteen curies of #tritium — a very large amount. (For a reference, the 1979 partial reactor meltdown at Three Mile Island released an estimated 15 curies of gaseous radioactive iodine-131 to the Pennsylvania atmosphere. Other radioactive materials went into the Susquehanna River.)

"Xcel’s 829,000-gallon leak was always a direct threat to drinking water because — as the company’s own 2023 Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report states on page 13 — 'It is assumed groundwater continuously flows to the river…' The Mississippi is the drinking water source for 20 million people, including #Minneapolis, #StPaul and their surrounding suburbs 37 miles downstream from the leaky reactor."
