🦺 We’re preparing for the safe and efficient deployment of new large light-water reactors. Read more about how we’ll support these projects at: nrc.gov/docs/ML2605/ML…

@mchammo That spherical containment still stands today, and the site is still active for naval reactor research.
Wasn’t able to find how much energy it was sending to the grid. 750MW sounds high..
English
About sending 750,000 kw over the Niagara Mohawk wires from a naval prototype reactor in West Milton in 1955! And then I found this delightful video of the event: share.google/9j8l37YqbJBpYT…

So, I am sure that @whatisnuclear already knew this, but I always thought the first commercial nuclear power in the U.S. was in 1957 from an Army reactor, and then Shippingport a few months later. But I was reading old transcripts and Admiral Rickover talked…

@NEI @PwC @WECNuclear Hard to imagine a more valuable industrial undertaking for the people of the United States.
English
Last week, @PwC released an independent report detailing the economic impact of deploying 10 @WECNuclear AP1000 reactors in the United States.
Raise your hand if you're ready for more large advanced reactors 🙋👇

Europe needs homegrown, low-carbon energy sources.
Nuclear & renewables together have a key role to play
Nuclear energy is available around the clock, providing electricity all year.
Europe has been a pioneer in nuclear technology.
And can lead again ↓ twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@Dr_A_Stein @TreyLLauderdale Good writing. Discussed the article today at the Native Nuclear team meeting.

Nuclear waste is usually framed as an unsolved engineering problem. It isn’t. It is a Wicked problem.
That needs to be understood to make real progress.

@NiCEClubRwanda @iaeaorg @RAEB_Rwanda @IgnaceGatare @Uni_Rwanda @Rwandan_YGN @RwandaInfra Fantastic to see
English
Earlier today, we had the honour of meeting Aline Des Cloizeaux, Director of Nuclear Power at the @iaeaorg , during the INIR Mission in Rwanda.
The engagement emphasised the vital role of women’s leadership, youth involvement and continuous capacity building in #NuclearScience.

Heading into a meeting with New York Power Authority to discuss the state’s plan to build new nuclear energy plants and learn how our team can help.
Thank you @GovKathyHochul for leading this effort!

Speaking about the 2024 ADVANCE Act, which I supported, I told the Washington Examiner, "It was one of the most bipartisan bills in recent U.S. history. I think that signaled something really important, that our energy systems are beyond politics." Thanks @dcexaminer!
English
"Democrats are looking at these numbers and recognizing that nuclear energy is in the interest of their constituents."
English
Today I was quoted in the Washington Examiner for an article titled “Nuclear Energy Revival Fueled by Growing Embrace by the Left.”
As a longtime anti-nuclear Californian who grew up in a state defined by environmental politics, this is quite a moment.

🇵🇱 Medtem poljska jedrska zgodba lepo napreduje. 🧵
Zaključili so z geološkimi raziskavami na lokaciji Lubiatowo-Kopalino.
Ta raziskave so pomembne za trdne temelje ter natančne načrte izkopov in količin betona.
Sledi končna investicijska odločitev in nato - še letos - gradnja.

Poland's AP1000 program has cleared a major technical milestone. Phase 1 geological surveys at Lubiatowo-Kopalino are complete: 30 drilling rigs, 22 km of boreholes, 200m depth, 10,000 samples, 7,000 lab tests.

@SenatorRezin Phenomenal leadership. Working every day with banks and construction companies to drive down the timelines and costs of new nuclear builds. Let’s do this!
English
@JohnKir08660882 Literature shows that large LWRs like the AP1000, when built in succession with a global supply chain and labor force, can achieve economics low enough to outcompete fossils.
SMRs are cool for islands, though their costs don’t appear to scale down linearly w/ their reduced MW
English
@ryan_pickering_ I like nuclear power; but ten years before the first unit comes on line?
Is there a risk that by 2030 that the Small Modular Reactors will be widely available? And cheap?
Existing coal plants could be converted to Nuclear by SMR's without the decade long mega projects.

again right now aligns with humanity’s long arc to survive and thrive.
The game is afoot!

ax base, and long-term investment long cherished by current nuclear neighborhoods.
Illinois is the birthplace of nuclear energy, where Chicago Pile-1 first went critical in 1942. Today it is already America’s leading producer of fission electricity. Seeing the state lean in…
English
Tremendous energy signal out of Illinois today. In his State of the State address, Governor J.B. Pritzker (D) made the case for building a lot more nuclear energy in the Land of Lincoln
