Out of step, out of time. Soon to be decommissioned. It will be interesting as the fission fuel shortage becomes real as they try to treble the industry and advances in the renewables, hydrogen grid variable generation and batteries as a system solution of energy generation for the whole of the world not just 39 countries out of 189 not just the rich but for all without weaponisation, without pollution of our waterways and without the need to bury waste that is dangerous for 1000 of tears what a waste of time you are here. Fission is an interim unlike fusion and renewables, with the grid-attached variable hydrogen generators and batteries which are deploying faster in 189 countries as opposed to the 39 that fission can Fission fuel. It is going to get tight in 100 or 80 years. Which Nuclear fission or fusion? https://lnkd.in/g36Z4k6P

Catalyzing Advanced Nuclear Development: The Road Ahead 🚀🔬 TL;DR: The Nuclear Innovation Alliance (NIA) has released a roadmap emphasizing the need for private-sector capital commitment and public-sector risk-sharing to advance nuclear technologies. The roadmap addresses challenges like uncertain costs and extended project timelines for first-of-a-kind nuclear projects. Highlights: • Reluctance due to unclear business cases and uncertain costs. • Financial backing to cover completion costs and encourage investment. • Legislative actions for risk-sharing and project management incentives. • Gathered from 2023-2024 workshops on small modular reactors (SMRs). • Despite NRC certification, commercial-scale project construction hasn't started. • Serial, multi-project commitments for economies of scale and shared costs among multiple offtakers. • Partnerships with private entities for financial support and project planning to mitigate risks. #NuclearInnovation #CleanEnergy #AdvancedNuclear #PublicPrivatePartnerships #SustainableFuture #EnergyInnovation Article Source: https://lnkd.in/gn6AjCnE

Today should have been the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) group supply chain event in Telford, a great opportunity to see the latest innovations being developed to clean-up the UK’s earliest nuclear sites safely, securely and cost effectively. Unfortunately, it has been postponed due to the event coinciding with the run up to the General Election. However, we still wanted to mark the occasion by showcasing a potentially game-changing innovation being developed at pace by a cross-industry project team. Sellafield’s Higher Activity Waste Thermal Treatment (HAWTT) – Tranche 1 Team (comprising diverse organisations ranging from Sellafield, Prime Contractors to SME’s like RED) has developed a full scale working prototype to understand the feasibility of using Plasma technology to size reduce Plutonium Contaminated Waste. The animation below is designed to both illustrate how the prototype works and the potential benefit the technology could have for UK PLC by significantly reducing the volume of Plutonium Contaminated Waste in long term storage. We're proud to have been part of this team, supporting the development of this technology from a blank sheet of paper to a working prototype in just 24 months. We’re already looking forward to telling you more (including learnings from the trials programme) at the rescheduled event in 2025!

With #SMRs expected to resolve some of the more common problems associated to the construction of #NuclearPowerPlants such as complexity, delays, overcost.... European Commission has launched the #SmallModularReactor (#SMRs) Alliance to accelerate the development and deployment of this simpler modular reactor design in #Europe by the early 2030s... Main aim is to reinforce the #NuclearSupplyChain in #Europe by identifying and addressing gaps in its manufacturing and innovation capacity, not only thinking on domestic market but also on international growing... The Alliance also is tasked to address future research and innovation needs and establishing a nuclear skills academy as well as promoting public engagement about SMRs... This initiative comes to recognize the relevant role that Nuclear will have to play on the #EuropeanEconomyDecarbonization... https://lnkd.in/dTjZbqh6

In Contradiction to the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernisation Act of 2019, where it was directed to develop and implement strategies for the increased use of risk-informed and performance-based licensing techniques within two years. Any other perspectives or opinions shall be helpful for informed opinion.

Best invest in Building Fusion power, space, and maritime propulsion systems and industry, You talk about Nuclear (meaning Fission) and fail to discuss fusion. https://lnkd.in/ge_aeX7M The nuclear fission industry is, ignorant of what's happening around you. Pull your uranium heads out, start adjusting your industry to fusion energy and start preparing to enter the commercially growing fusion energy industry. As it dawns on Earth like the sun. Great Headline Guardian on Nuclear fission. https://lnkd.in/g8sMZtpR Fission is moving towards obsolescence at an accelerated pace, as it is "out of step, out of time, out of place," and merely a temporary industry globally. https://lnkd.in/gbd_mZqk Commercial fusion electrical generation is a promising innovative sustainable and clean energy method. By 2028, Helion is expected to start producing electricity from its first fusion commercial power plant, which will provide electricity to Microsoft. The plant will produce at least 50 MWe after an initial ramp-up period. https://lnkd.in/gY9J3MQY Now see what is happening in the Fusion industry in the world. https://lnkd.in/g9hMBD7a As fission trebles, fuel shortage is increasingly real, https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr

Another significant step forward for #nuclear Innovation in #UK. Thanks Nuclear Industry Association for the support to newcleo's design and to all of the #AMR (Advanced Modular Reactor) program in UK that need to accelerate!

This week the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued the Staff Requirements Memorandum to SECY-23-0021, “Proposed Rule: Risk-Informed, Technology-Inclusive Regulatory Framework for Advanced Reactors” (ML24064A047). The SRM approves issuing a proposed rule that would establish a new framework in NRC regulations for optional use by commercial advanced nuclear reactor applicants for new reactor license applications. The Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act (NEIMA) directed the agency to undertake this rulemaking because the existing regulatory frameworks for reactor licensing were designed to accommodate LWR technology, but many prospective advanced reactor applicants may use non-LWR technology
