The gamble is not taking it for overweight ppl that hope the consequences of being overweight/obese are less bad than theoretical consequences of glp1

ONE station has SEVERAL units

I meant it's irrelevant in the context of reactors not in general It's easier to keep them stealthy vs getting it from a reactor that operates under special conditions where Russia…

Proliferation is irrelevant. It was not a Candu reactor what India have used and without Russia's help it's unlikely it would have happened. But there are easier and cheaper pathwa…

Looking at past few days, I wouldnt say it's on it's way to be solved https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/zone/AU-SA/live/hourly SA has highest household prices in Australia (or cl…

Most dangerous phase of the waste is first ±300y. Afterwards most radiation is low energy and most of the danger would come from ingestion like with any toxic chemical

The design was bad in the sense they backported generator placement from US BWR projects in basement. It makes sense in US but risks in Japan are different Yes, radiation killed ze…

Ren= renewables. Hualong is the domestic Chinese reactor design

I mean these https://www.opg.com/news-resources/newsroom/our-stories/stor... https://news.ontario.ca/en/release/1007558/ontario-delivers-...

Yes, canada aproved repository site. Similar to Onkalo

it doesnt suck as much as fossils https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/zone/DE/live/fifteen_min...

depends if you like gas/coal or not https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/zone/DE/live/fifteen_min...

Enrichment is already more or less done by Orano and Urenco. They could expand faster if assured that EU bans russian imports

Also relevant - all recent Canadian refurbs were on time and budget

UK's regulations are so bad that even Hitachi pulled out from building ABWR

It's less about money and more about timeline risks. Canada's BWRX will cost per MW by plan more than French flamanville with all delays. But unlike Flamanville it has chances to b…

because opex is cheaper. Modularity can be achieved in large units too

you can create even more jobs with ren. But not all jobs are the same. With ren you compete with China. With nuclear - you are somewhat protected since many don't like the idea of …

Barakah took about 8y/unit. But local projects are expected to take less. Part of the reason is precedent govts were willing to ditch the industry entirely like Germany

it's one thing to have regulation that makes sense and it's another thing to have regulation that doesnt do much. UK is prime example with HPC

The problem is more about Chernobyl affecting global nuclear deployments imo

Proliferation is not much related to plants. It's cheaper to build a weapon with distributed enrichment capacity for uranium in some caves.

Chernobyl was triggered by humans but the ultimate problem was it's design. And it shows - Fukushima was triggered by tsunami, but ultimate problem was again the design. But since …

No, it's ok if you schedule maintenance during summer. And with more AC adoption you'll partially reduce this heavy swing. Nuclear at 60%cf is still economical. The problem arises …

You can see how you dont need nuclear with your strategy today in Germany https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/zone/DE/live/fifteen_min... TMI cleanup costed 1bn, so far lower than …
