By all means, keep the policy that people hate. Even the people who like the idea of nuclear reactors hate the idea of them being built in their neighbourhood or their spent fuel being stored nearby.

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.
"The goal of [#StartupNation] cities would be to have places where anti-aging #ClinicalTrials, #NuclearReactor startups, and building construction can proceed without having to get prior #approval from agencies like the Food and Drug Administration #FDA, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the Environmental Protection Agency #EPA."
Billionaire dictatorvilles with no civil rights, because venture capitalists are always ethical.

Holy Fuck! Now we're talking colliding aircraft carriers??? 🤬 That's a step-up from airplanes! #NuclearReactor anyone????
#FunFactFriday: The UK is planning legal changes to help speed up the rollout of cheaper and safer mini-nuclear reactors, hoping to improve energy security. Do you hope the US follows suit? News Source: https://techxplore.com/news/2025-02-uk-quicken-rollout-mini-nuclear.html
New paper, just published in Physical Review X Energy, on the muography of the G3 nuclear reactor
by Baptiste Lefevre and co-authors
https://doi.org/10.1103/PRXEnergy.4.013002
The visualization software I developed for #Cosmology contributed in the mapping of the inner, inaccessible structure of the reactor.

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."

"TVO: Olkiluoto 3 reactor repairs "will take longer than expected"
I headed in the direction of home… south. I stopped at a little marina type place right across the water from the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant. At this point in time I am not glowing in the dark.

And this is the point where I realized that my ISO was set to 1600. I changed it to 100 but I was almost done for the day so there aren’t many low ISO pics. Oh well.

And there we have it. All of the pics (well, most of them at least) from my morning photo fun experience at the ocean. I shot a whole roll of film to go along with all of this. Maybe I’ll get it developed at some future date in 2025 or something.

Enrico Fermi and his team built the first nuclear reactor, known as Chicago Pile-1, under the west stands of University of Chicago’s Stagg Field. On December 2, 1942, Fermi and his team achieved the first controlled, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction.
