If y’all wanna know more about what I do:
I work in nuclear risk analysis & spend a lot of time explaining how we actually evaluate safety in this industry!

Split baby, SPLIT!!
Go @AaloAtomics !!

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!

This is a very informative thread. We would all benefit from reading this entire message! Facts do matter. Thank you for providing this message! @NuclearHazelnut

So, @fox9: clear facts matter & in this case: • industrial oil leak • quickly isolated • no oil reached the Mississippi River • no radioactive release Context is important when reading headlines about nuclear facilities ⚛️☺️

@tonyannett Calling energy sources ‘masculine’ or ‘feminine’ instead of talking about reliability& physics is exactly the kind of discourse that keeps us from solving real problems…
English
I am convinced that the obsession with fossil fuels and nuclear by men in particular is that they are coded “masculine” whereas solar and wind are coded “feminine.” Get culture war bullshit out of technology!

Bro just dissed a bunch of chicks.
@NuclearHazelnut
Rip him to shreds pls & thx.

Your beer contains K-40, which is naturally radioactive.
A pint delivers about 0.01 µSv, roughly comparable to a few months of public dose near a nuclear plant.
Sounds scary… but it’s completely harmless So, enjoy your green beer, don’t fear the radiation & sláinte! 🍻
Drink responsibly, radiation isn’t the risk.

@JosephSomsel @FOX9 Oh man! Let’s normalize correcting headlines and calling them out.
they love clickbating ppl 😒

@NuclearHazelnut @FOX9 We had a similar headline at Diablo Canyon:
"Heavy Metals Detected in Plant Discharge"
Turns out it was the runoff from the employee parking lot and the heavy metals were from the leaking oil from the employees' vehicles.
English
You may see headlines saying “200 gallons of oil leaked at the Monticello nuclear plant.”
Let’s add some context because the headline is missing important details, @Fox9

Somewhere above the clouds holding a replica uranium fuel pellet I use during talks.
It helps people visualize how small nuclear fuel actually is… & how much energy it holds!! ⚛️
A real pellet about this size contains roughly the same energy as ~1 ton of coal
English
@realUrbanHacker That’s amazing!! I bet it was an incredible experience, happy for you!!
what site do you visit?
English
@NuclearHazelnut 3 months ago I had the chance to visit a nuclear power plant it was very informative, they had replica of fuel of various source to showcase the energy density. Nuclear was always beating anything else.
English
So, @fox9: clear facts matter & in this case:
• industrial oil leak
• quickly isolated
• no oil reached the Mississippi River
• no radioactive release
Context is important when reading headlines about nuclear facilities ⚛️☺️

Ironically, this level of reporting is one of the reasons nuclear energy is among the most regulated & monitored industries on Earth.
Even relatively small industrial leaks are publicly documented!!!! Just Google it!!!!
English
@gordonmcdowell That’s a great question!! Short answer: Not really. Actual fuel pellets are regulated nuclear material (enriched uranium), so they must be tracked, monitored, licensed & safeguarded.
It’s not really a radiation issue but a regulatory& nuclear material control issue.
English
@NuclearHazelnut Is it possible to use a real fuel pellet for communication purposes? I mean, I assume it is not possible but exactly why not? (Aside from cost.) Not saying smart idea or anything like that. Just wondering if there is a hard rule/law.

@dez_blanchfield hahaha Yes! no trouble with TSA 😜

@NuclearHazelnut probably a good thing you posted this AFTER boarding the flight eh..
yes, I know it's a "replica", but.. well you know what I mean..
