Hey, 👋 Wolf Creek! Looking good for your 40th decade as a nuclear powerhouse steadily generating electricity, jobs, and economic development.

Orano to supply Energoatom, Ukraine's nuclear energy operator, with enriched uranium to fuel their reactors. #NukeSky #EnergySky

Japan's Federation of Electric Power Companies has announced that a total of 400 tonnes of used nuclear fuel, instead of the originally planned 200 tonnes, will now be transported to Orano in France for research on the reprocessing of used mixed oxide fuel.

"How to Talk About Nuclear" ... in which Dr. Jim Conca hollers for a shift to Q&A advocacy referencing Pink Floyd 🌈, Death itself 💀, and even Lazard's latest 📉.
BTW, great resource links (and stats), too. 👀

NEWS: Orano signs investment agreement with Mongolian government for the development and operation of the Zuuvch-Ovoo #uranium mine.
After 4-year development, production capacity is expected around 2,500 tons of uranium per year.

Key point in this @axios.com Information Gods article: “The burden now falls on **you** to find sources of information you trust for reliable truth. That means better scrutinizing not only the publications you choose, but the individuals you follow on social media.” www.axios.com/2025/01/08/m...
Right, as it says, imagine a fuel recycled and re-used many, many, many times. It’s a feature not a bug. This white paper describes TRU recycling as a near-term fuel source for advanced reactors until production ramps up for high assay low enriched uranium HALEU. www.orano.group/usa/en/our-p...
A step further, the new SABRE method is designed as “a mine without a mine”—no digging needed. A benefit all around for people and the environment. cdn.streamlike.com/play?med_id=...
Those are significant concerns, but modern western uranium mining removal methods use tech instead of people. This recent report about a Canadian mine is insightful. youtu.be/6H78NMLGEZM?...
Definitely agree with an all-hands-on-deck approach to the clean energy mix, but why not new nuclear, too? ☢️
A good #EnergyTransition question …
I like this train of thinking, @wmata.com!
Skid piled with large, full, price-discounted canvas bags labeled “Santa’s Bag of Coal”.
Apparently there were fewer bad people than expected in 2024. We could send this surplus Santa coal to Germany—they’re still burning it since Greenpeace helped convince them to shut down nuclear energy first instead of fossil fuels. 🔌💡 #NukeSky

So, I wonder if the 2024 increased funding for adv nuclear (private, IRA/DOE) is a related shift in clean energy investment away from the clean energy sources examined in your article.
Plus, this recent announcement: Oklo and Switch Form Landmark Strategic Relationship to Deploy 12 Gigawatts of Advanced Nuclear Power, One of the Largest Corporate Clean Power Agreements Ever Signed.

Yes, I was thinking the emerging advanced reactor tech and its significant investments would be an interesting clean energy comparison. As a resource, the Nuclear Energy Institute tracks these investments with quarterly blog posts. Q3: www.nei.org/news/2024/ta...

Thank you, Arlington National Cemetary, for the commitment, respect, and celebration. It means a lot for family members.
That’s like saying in 2008 the same story has been told about electric vehicles for 200 years. Same as EVs, we’re making progress realizing real-world solutions. With the value of nuclear energy in the clean energy mix, it’s worth looking at the possibilities
