NEW BLOG MAY 30 on @4thGenBlog ! Today, Energy Writer and 4th Gen Blogger @RRapier takes another look at the Coal-to-Nuclear Transition. Coal to Nuclear Transition 4thgeneration.energy/coal-to-nuclea… #C2N #CoalToNuclear #JustTransition #EJ @NewNuclearNRG

@tbdnonymous @atrembath @JesseJenkins #YIMBY

@atrembath @JesseJenkins I said the same. But, I also have some preferences regarding the details of how it would be stored. Go, @4thGenBlog !

He probably doesn't remember this but in one of my earlier interactions with @JesseJenkins, some European diplomat challenged him on where we could possibly store nuclear waste. Jesse's response? "In my backyard." 👑 shit

The 🇦🇪 United Arab Emirates (#UAE) will tender shortly for the construction of a new nuclear power plant that would double the number of the small Gulf state's nuclear reactors. The UAE, a #US security partner, became the first #Arab state to operate a nuclear power plant when in 2021 it opened in the #SouthKorean-built #Barakah facility in #AbuDhabi. 👉nuclearbusiness-platform.com/asia/market-ov… #nuclearenergy #nuclear #nuclearpower #energy

#SouthAfrica contributes approximately 20% of the world's medical #radioisotopes, facilitated by its research reactor, SAFARI 1. Nuclear research reactors play a significant role in advancing knowledge, which is vital for a country's nuclear developments.

Some Southeast Asian nations, including 🇮🇩 #Indonesia and the 🇵🇭 #Philippines, 🇻🇳 #Vietnam, are exploring the possibility of incorporating #nuclearenergy. While nuclear plants can generate reliable, emissions-free energy, investing requires thorough research and expertise. Emerging nuclear energy nations should build robust R&D programs to enable #safe, sustainable sectors. Strong #RnD develops critical knowledge and best practices for operations and regulation. As Indonesia and the Philippines lack decades of focused nuclear R&D like 🇰🇷 #SouthKorea's, tapping into South Korean expertise could allow efficient, safe adoption. Only few countries can match South Korea's 35+ years of focused nuclear energy R&D. Tapping into South Korean expertise would allow #ASEAN to adopt nuclear power more efficiently and safely. 👉👉nuclearbusiness-platform.com/media/insights…

I had the chance at @4thGenBlog to weigh in on why normalising country-specific addition rates is important: 4thgeneration.energy/energy-data-mo…

Major #nuclear victory today at the EU Parliament! A clear majority today voted in favor of recognizing nuclear power as a net-zero technology within the Net-Zero Industry Act. What is this all about? I’ll explain.🧵👇

@4thGenBlog The article: 4thgeneration.energy/lithium-ion-pa…

Last year I neglected to properly highlight Dustin et al's great paper when I referenced it in "The ABC of Battery Storage" at @4thGenBlog. Adding batteries is a financial cost. Its also a materials cost which pushes up LCA emissions. Still not enough literature on this.

@TerrestrialMSR @RRapier @4thGenBlog The world is moving towards nuclear. With the Akkuyu NPP, Turkiye will be inside the nuclear energy group. Aiming 20GW of nuclear power by 2050, Turkiye is determined to hit the target. Know more about the Turkish nuclear sector at #TNBP2023. 📜t.ly/bGbdC
