The Case For Nuclear

We’re sorry to say that our trains are currently severely delayed due to a problem with the overhead power supply. If you are due to travel on a train departure from 3pm and would prefer to travel on a different date, you can exchange your ticket for free:

It is pure nonsense to think that you can run a modern energy intensive society without the ability to control the power source. We are going back to the 1600's when getting becalmed at sea (no wind) was a matter of life and death for sailors.

“The Achilles heel of wind and solar is provision of adequate storage, at reasonable cost, of power not needed in the middle of the day, but needed when the sun is not shining and/or the wind is not blowing.” $EU $ENCUF #uranium #nuclear

Over the last 40 hours, the UK wind power industry has swung from producing 16.4 GW to generating 0.4 GW The drop in electricity production is equal to, give or take, switching off 14 nuclear power stations. That's the reason why UK power markets are tight today.

China and India will be literal future superpowers.

It's time to stop pretending battery storage will solve the intermittency problem of wind & solar power. Europe's LARGEST battery storage project provides 3 minutes of backup for the nearby wind farm.

Construction of the second unit at Egypt’s first nuclear power plant has commenced. A permit to allow construction to proceed was issued by the Egyptian Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Authority at the end of October. #uranium $EU $ENCUF

U.S. grants $1.1 bln to keep Diablo Canyon nuclear plant open

Japan has overcome ideology & fear in favour of reason & science 🎉 They’re turning their reactors back on! Japan has 54 reactors in total. 10 reactors are actively producing electricity, & this number will go up to 17 by summer 2023.

The UK will press ahead with building a new #nuclear power plant at Sizewell. Chancellor Jeremy Hunt told Parliament the project will create 10,000 highly skilled jobs as well as providing reliable, low-carbon energy to six million homes. $EU #uranium

The Japanese government has announced a new nuclear energy policy consisting of 3 key points: maximize use of existing #nuclear power plants via accelerated restart and extension of operations; build advanced next-generation #reactors;.

Brazil's state #nuclear company Eletronuclear has resumed work at Angra dos Reis Nuclear Power Plant, marking a restart to the construction of the Unit 3 #reactor halted in 2015. Eletronuclear aims to start operations by the end of 2026. $EU $ENCUF

A siting assessment has identified a range of existing #nuclear power plant sites in the UK that could potentially host Rolls-Royce small modular #reactors, with four sites owned by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority prioritized.

Problem: 95% of the hydrogen produced in the U.S. comes from natural gas, resulting in emissions. Solution: Split water💧into pure hydrogen and oxygen with nuclear power.

Ontario Power Generation has submitted an application for a License to Construct a small modular #reactor at the Darlington site, where it plans to build Canada's first commercial, grid-scale SMR. #uranium $EU

France is set to reduce administrative burdens for new-generation nuclear reactors amid the continent’s scramble to replace Russian energy and as France seeks to increase the total number of #nuclear plants.

The USA and the United Arab Emirates have signed a major new clean energy framework to catalyze US$100 billion in financing to deploy globally 100 GW of clean energy by 2035. $EU #uranium #nuclear
