Matt Loszak@MattLoszak·
Today, we unveiled our completed Critical Test Reactor facility. We will be turning this reactor on (a “zero power criticality”) well before July 4th! This is a commercial-scale system with enough fuel to produce 10 MW of electricity, and will someday soon power a co-located data center from one of our partners. Here’s what people saw today at our ribbon cutting: ✅ Reactor vessel ✅ Graphite as moderator ✅ Instrumentation and control ✅ Concrete shielding ✅ Building with crane ✅ Control room All designed and built by Aalo. And the nuclear fuel will be arriving any day now. One last step remains: the final DOE approval to turn the reactor on, which we expect to receive soon. DOE has been an incredible partner in this 2.5 year journey, working hard to support a number of companies pushing to advance US nuclear energy. Follow us to be the first to know when we turn this reactor on!

Lise Meitner was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Physics 29 times. She never won. Between 1901–1966, just 1.8% of nominees were women. Their names deserve to be known. 🔗 bit.ly/4sbJH3U #WomensHistoryMonth Photo by Lotte Meitner-Graf, AIP ESVA

This is what mass production of gigawatt-scale reactor components looks like. In 1981, 26 reactors were under construction in France. Each vessel can power 1 million households. Absolutely epic.

Photo du jour (deja postée!) Les ateliers de construction Framatome des cuves du Creusot au cœur de la période « faste » du programme #nucléaire français. Pour avoir une idée de son ampleur : En 1981, 26 réacteurs sont en cours de construction à différents stades d’avancement.

#Energiewende:

Dr. Dale Wen@dale_wen

Germany Energiewende in numbers. After more than 500 billion subsidies and 20 plus years, how does the German Energiewende work? Let’s look at some numbers. First let’s compare Germany in 2025 to itself in year 2000. Year 2000 Total electricity generation: 576-577 TWh Residential (household) electricity price: 0.14–0.16 €/kWh Industry price: 0.08 €/kWh Year 2025 Total generation: around 501 TWh, including self generation. Residential (household) price: 0.3835 €/kWh Industry price: 0.15-0.25 €/kWh So after 25 years of energy transition, there is 13% less electricity generation, while the price has more than doubled for both residential and industrial users. No wonder the German industry base is shrinking. Now let’s look at carbon emission per KWh electricity generation, after all, to reduce carbon emission is the stated goal of Energiewende. The numbers of France, Germany and EU average tells you the reality the German media normally does not report on. France: ~30 gCO₂eq/kWh Germany: ~330 gCO₂eq/kWh France's grid is about 10 times cleaner than Germany's on average. Not only that, Germans intensity is higher than the EU average (~200–220 g/kWh in recent years) due to remaining coal use, Energiewende is a total complete failure, on both economics and its stated environmental goal. Numbers don’t lie.
