@simonwakter @mitpress If you want to focus on the facts, read our book first. It's full of them. The good news is that there should be an open access link available on the MIT website in a few days from now!

It's finally here! Our edited volume is out with @mitpress! And as the current heatwave and water shortages across Europe are severely affecting nuclear power plants, the nuclear-water nexus is more important than ever. ⚛️🌊 Read all about it here: mitpress.mit.edu/9780262552288/…

What exactly do you mean by "severely affecting nuclear power plants"? Total production losses in 2022 was 0.18% of annual production. x.com/energybants/st… For some numbers 2000-2018: "The total impact of heat-wave curtailment since 2000 have meant loosing on the order of ~0.1% of European nuclear output (in France ~0.15%)." x.com/QvistStaffan/s… The production loss of both solar and wind from temperature is far greater.
Mark Nelson@energybants

One of the biggest energy stories last year was about French nuclear generation suffering severe output reductions from heat waves and low river levels. Newspapers across the world reported it. Only problem? It was radically exaggerated: Only 0.2% losses from heat & drought.

With 20 chapters and 25 authors from a wide variety of countries and backgrounds, with academics from all kinds of disciplines as well as non-academics, it's a uniquely large and diverse edited volume! Of interest to anyone in history of tech, STS, env humanities, and nuclear⚛️

@mboudry Beetje naieve stelling. Steun voor kernenergie in de buurt van kerncentrales (zgn "nuclear oasis") heeft voor groot stuk te maken met werkgelegenheid (in vaak economisch minder ontwikkelde regio's) en in sommige landen (zoals FR) gunstige financiering voor gemeenten.

Wist je dat de publieke steun voor kernenergie het HOOGST ligt bij mensen die vlakbij wonen? Zij merken zelf: het is proper, maakt geen lawijt, stinkt niet, werpt geen slagschaduw. Nooit last van! Bij windmolens is het omgekeerd: hoe dichter je woont, hoe groter de irritatie. /4

Als lid van de stedelijke havermelkelite heb ik makkelijk praten: nog nooit last gehad van enige windmolen in mijn achtertuin! Maar het dédain waarmee "progressieve" politici en experts over de bezwaren van buurtbewoners walsen: dáár gaat deze brief over. demorgen.be/meningen/beste…

And on my way back to the train station, I ran into a building that very much symbolizes that long history in France: the prestigious École des Mines.

This week, I gave a talk at France's new nuclear regulatory agency: @ASNR_FR Many of the safety challenges ASNR experts are tackling (corrosion, welding,...) are part of a longer history of managing steam risks. It was great to tell this history and learn about their work

This picture is so Scandinavian 😎 The president of Finland and the PMs of Norway, Sweden and Denmark dining together - I love it.

Mis zeker vanavond vanaf 20u de PhD Cup-finale niet! Ik ben helaas niet bij de finalisten geraakt, maar het was een enorme eer om mee te doen. De pitches van de 8 finalisten zijn boeiend, goed gebracht, en het resultaat van zoveel werk en toewijding! phdcup.be/nieuws/volg-de…

79 years after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the @NobelPrize is a strategic reminder that nuclear weapons continue to be a real threat more than ever before @UniFAU @ERC_Research @STGS_FAU
The Nobel Prize@NobelPrize

BREAKING NEWS The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPeacePrize to the Japanese organisation Nihon Hidankyo. This grassroots movement of atomic bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, also known as Hibakusha, is receiving the peace prize for its efforts to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons and for demonstrating through witness testimony that nuclear weapons must never be used again. #NobelPrize

@STS_News @robgioielli Depends on what you see as a manual! Household manuals not so much. But detailed guidelines on how to manufacture, inspect, operate nuclear power plants, a lot! 🙂

Do any of you have favorite STS-y works - sociology, history, anthro, whatevs - that use manuals extensively as sources?

📖⚛️ 300+ pagina's over nucleaire veiligheid omzetten naar 1000 woorden. Het was geen evidentie! Maar ben je benieuwd naar mijn onderzoek over de risico's van water en stoom in kerncentrales? En geen tijd om een hele thesis te lezen? Lees dan zeker mijn artikel in Eos!

'Het grootste gevaar in een kerncentrale is water' ☢️ 💧 Hoe dat precies zit, legt #PhDCup-deelnemer #historicus @SiegfriedEvens je uit in zijn blog bij @Eoswetenschap 👇eoswetenschap.eu/natuurwetensch…

So glad and honored to have been selected for the Flemish PhD Cup! In this science communication contest, I will get mediatraining and pitch my research on nuclear safety for a jury and larger audience Looking forward to starting and meeting this fantastic group of scholars!
