Better to go Fusion Nuclear and replace those fission plants with a cleaner safer energy.and industry.

Best invest in Building and talking about Fusion power, space, and maritime propulsion systems and industry as data centres are. 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, adjust your industry to fusion energy, and prepare 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 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,

I think I can add to this one interesting adage that I learned not so long ago called - the Brandolinis' Law (fake info asymmetry principle). It states that "the amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it". - Wikipedia. https://lnkd.in/eBkh3X6b Same with nuclear energy. A long ago produced fakes like nuclear stations spread cancer and ultimately led to events like Chornobyl were easily created and fastly planted into the minds of the society. Therefore, today, we need to spend an effort of a 10х magnitude to at least dispel the stupidest and most untrue ideas that it required in their creation and spread. Furthermore, another example can be renewable technologies. An order of magnitude larger effort (or energy crisis and economic privation - a huge effort in themselves) is required to dispel fairytales of their energy efficiency and sustainability than was initially spent to propagate those ideas. Thank you Marco C. Vloothuis for offering people resources and the opportunity to dispel fake predispositions and ideas.

Radiation is always linked first to nuclear power, without thinking all the other places it also occurs. You can divide radiation field into four different fields; industry and research, medical, naturally occuring radioactive materials (NORM) and of course nuclear. Our Managing Director Hanna Tuovinen visited Nordic Nuclear Forum to learn the newest trends in nuclear field! Did you see her there?? #NNF24 #NordicNuclearForum #Networking

Nuclear fission — when the nucleus of an atom splits in two, releasing energy — may seem like a process that is fully understood. First discovered in 1939 and thoroughly studied ever since, fission is a constant factor in modern life, used in everything from nuclear medicine to power-generating nuclear reactors. However, it is a […] #Engineering #Robotics #Recruiters

Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google are all in on the rise of the nuclear energy demands for their AI ambitions and data centers support. Mirion is projecting a strong 2025 for its nuclear and cancer care business. 🔝🔝🔝

On September 12, 1933, Hungarian born physicist Leo Szilárd was walking on Southampton Row in Bloomsbury, waiting for a red traffic light. He had recently read an article in The Times that described Ernest Rutherford’s dismissal of the practical potential of nuclear energy. Rutherford, a prominent physicist, had described those who believed in harnessing nuclear energy as "talking moonshine." While waiting for the light to change, Szilárd reflected on Rutherford’s skepticism. Suddenly, the idea of a nuclear chain reaction came to him: the possibility that neutrons released from an atom undergoing nuclear fission could trigger the fission of other nearby atoms, creating a self-sustaining chain reaction. This process, if controlled, could release vast amounts of energy. Szilárd immediately recognized the importance of this idea, but it would take several years for the full understanding of nuclear fission to be developed, particularly after the discovery of uranium fission in 1938 by German scientists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann, and its theoretical explanation by Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch. He patented the idea in 1936. Szilárd went on to play a critical role in the development of the first nuclear reactors and, later, the Manhattan Project, which produced the first atomic bombs during World War II.

Have you ever checked out our newsletter on everything nuclear research? The second edition is just out!   In this edition, we recap the latest events related to nuclear activities that showcase the JRC’s work on nuclear research. Read more about: ✔ the Generation IV International Forum biannual meetings organised by the JRC in Brussels; ✔ the Research Ministers reception event hosted by Commissioner Iliana Ivanova; ✔ the Nuclear Security International Conference held by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)) in Vienna, with contributions from the JRC; ✔ the workshop on Open Access to JRC nuclear infrastructures that enables research and development of essential skills in the EU.   Nuclear research remains at the core of our activities at the JRC, aiming to support the European Commission with independent, technical and scientific evidence in the areas of nuclear safety, security and nuclear science applications.   We’re also key actors in nuclear international networks, as we collaborate with international organisations and research institutes in the field.   Next week, I’ll be in Poland discussing our research in this field and visiting important Polish organisations working on nuclear research and technology – stay tuned for more on this topic!   In the meantime, check out the newsletter ⬇️

Extreme Light Infrastructure Nuclear Physics -ELI-NP Cutting edge in power: 10 Petawatt (=10 billion Watt) Whether nuclear fusion, cancer treatment or drone defense - laser applications have the potential to change the world. The world's largest facility is located in Romania. Founded in Munich in 2019, start-up ‚Marvel Fusion’ became the first private-sector "user" of the Romanian laser - and a shining example of how basic nuclear physics research could lead to a commercially successful high-tech product "made in Europe". There is great hope that nuclear fusion will work: in contrast to conventional nuclear fission, there would be no nuclear waste, no risk of a reactor catastrophe and therefore a safe, clean and controllable source of energy would be available on a large scale. The laser that (my) dreams are made of…
