@Emil ‘epochal change’, I like that.

@Emil When it rains, it pours.

@Emil Is my prediction *already* coming true? 😯

@Emil Another pair extended to 80 years! 👏

@pineapplelover [Waving hello from mastodon]

@Emil Russian vandalism 🤬

@Emil 34 reactors! More countries ought to aspire this level of commitment!

@Emil 6 October? That’s pretty soon. Best of luck 👏

@Emil 80 years 👏

@Emil eh, interesting preview 😅

Edit:
In mastodon it previews with something about a German article about Diablo 1.

@elena@fedia.io @_elena @elena@lemmy.world I have most experience with Lemmy which does what I need it to and what I expect from it, which is: being able to post long format texts with the occasional pictures. I maintain the community over at https://feddit.nl/c/nuclear

@Emil Interesting that Niger is letting the French back in. I wonder what is happening here.

@Emil Good step. In line with Engie’s news they’re also moving away from Russian supply chains. By the end of the decade the EU isn’t relying on Russia at all anymore.

Except Hungary. Fuck Orban.

@Krusty @Emil Is it not a problem with war areas in general?

@Emil Currently 57% of all uranium globally is retrieved using ISL. This will further raise the number, further decreasing the footprint of uranium mining.

@Emil Of course, the work only just begins. Decades of dependence on Russian nuclear fuel has decimated Western industry on this. The ban makes room for Western nuclear fuel companies to exist, especially American ones. It’ll take around a decade to build up this industrial infrastructure.

@icanbob
I think this has to do with the fact that:

1. Thailand is new to nuclear energy.
2. Seaborg is an unproven startup.
3. This barge concept hasn’t been proven in the West yet.

@Draedron
Really? Tell us more. I never ever heard these arguments before. I also never ever refuted them a thousand times already. Please, tell us, as we never heard these very original takes!
@Emil

@Emil “A common European market for nuclear power plants would enable the benefits of serial production, and this requires a technology-neutral climate and energy policy from the EU, as well as cooperation between nuclear safety authorities in harmonising requirements.”

This is what I’m talking about! A European cooperation like this would be great idea!

@Emil This is a pretty big change from the EU. If anything, it’s still way too timid (we need hundreds of new big units in Europe, not merely 30), but this is already a watershed moment compared to just a few years ago when nuclear was the black sheep in Brussels.

They’re finally starting to get it!
