17 years - instead of the promised 4.5 years - after start of construction, Flamanville-3 should start generating electricity this year. To be taken offline again in 2026, for replacing its faulty reactor cover.

I’m 24 hours into being laid off and I’m stunned at the warmth and appreciation from my co-workers and colleagues.

That said, if you know anyone needing the weird combination of #NuclearEnergy and software development, hit me up! Hoping to stay working on numerical systems, python / c++, with a bent towards open source projects

Been thinking about the atom, the arc of environmentalism, and my relationship to social media.

The tl;dr is that there's no ethical extraction under capitalism for any energy tech, I don't have all the answers on ethical extraction, but it wouldn't hurt to touch grass for a bit.

Not only has used fuel been stored safely for decades, it can be reprocessed into fuel for the future.

Used fuel safely stored could potentially power us for centuries, via fast breeder reactors. No more mining needed, solving the waste problem at the same time.

@collectifission

🤦🏻‍♀️ When nuclear waste is so safe stored why many storage facilities in are closed because of the great danger of those storage facilities

And when the myth of reusing the nuclear waste would be based on reality why are the storage facilities are not being emptied🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s all nice propaganda of the tax money wasting and nothing else

as it exists now is still extremely dangerous and uncontrolled

@kravietz @collectifission @dynode

🤷🏻‍♀️ Yes… And what?? Those 50.000 when the number is correct is sad of course but it’s a fixed number

It means when for example a hydro dam is collapsed a certain amount of people die but that is it
Costs are limited, life’s are limited and you can start safely to rebuild again

With #NuclearEnergy and #Nuclear waste the danger and costs continues for hundreds of thousands of years 🤷🏻‍♀️ that is a “little” different

@ElTico @collectifission

Thanks that is a very nice offer but I guess I had already enough official scientific sources to get my information from

But feel free to have your own opinion I’m perfectly fine with it, everyone is free to believe whatever they want 🤷🏻‍♀️

@musictraveler@mastodon.online avatar

@kravietz

You are absolutely right that we are living at least for this subject in a different world 🤷🏻‍♀️

For me the most interesting and amazing about this is to see how good and effective the Nuclear Energy industry and Nuclear lobbyists are working with their propaganda

Nothing has changed in the danger of Nuclear Energy and its waste but at once more and more people seems to embrace Nuclear Power without any knowledge about the reality

musictraveler,
@musictraveler@mastodon.online avatar

@dynode @kravietz

I have to admit that is indeed all very interesting as I know very well out of own experiences

And it’s nice for you that your interest and work inside the Nuclear business made you embracing everything what has to do with

But it still did not change my opinion and you have no idea about my knowledge on which I base my opinion🤷🏻‍♀️ But that doesn’t matter because I do not have to convince you

Right now, #FossilFuels are accounting for just 5.9% of the #UK's #Electricity generation. #WindEnergy is contributing 45.5%, #SolarEnergy 19.0% and #NuclearEnergy 13.9%. The rest comes from interconnects from continental #Europe and small amounts from #Hydropower and #Biomass. Some is also being exported to #Ireland.
