Well it seems that EDF means serious business, which is terrific news for the climate goals and electricity costs. More clean energy for France and for its neighbours! nasdaq.com/articles/edf-c…

"Germany has built itself a role-model image int'ly with its decision to exit coal and nuc & its intensive investments in renewables and hydrogen. The energy transition is Germany's soft power." Can anyone name a country, which sees Germany as the role model in energy transition?

Imagine a world where the headline "so-and-so bets on nuclear in carbon-neutrality push" would be business as usual. Now this is a worthy global goal! reuters.com/business/energ…

If this is what the people of France are asking for 😏

A very interesting thread giving an insight into the work of one of many amazing professionals of the global nuclear industry

We have begun welding the upper semi-vessel of the VVER-1200 reactor for the Chinese Tianwan NPP Unit 7. It is the key milestone in manufacturing of the reactor. The upper semi-vessel has been put together from two shells and a flange- total mass of the construction is 180 tons

Today, there are EU 13 countries with nuclear electricity production and 14 without. Poland and Estonia seem pretty adamant about joining the nuclear power club. Do you think anyone else will any time soon?

The fact that a media like Bloomberg publishes a story about this non-story a week after everyone discussed it, makes one think that actually conducting an Olympic event near an NPP would have been terrific for public acceptance of nuclear

The Rosatom Week in Dubai concluded some time ago but good content made on its sidelines keeps being released. Here is an interview with Sama Bilbao y Leon talking about the future of nuclear power in the era of energy transition youtube.com/watch?v=qYkXEG…

With oil prices pushing closer to $100 per barrel & natgas prices hitting another record, it is high time to recall that nuclear is not just a clean and sustainable energy source but also a pillar of energy security. More in the New Nuclear Watch Institute (NNWI) report newnuclearwatchinstitute.org/_files/ugd/2bb…

"We profile five upcoming nuclear projects from around the world, as nations increasingly turn to the technology to meet decarbonisation targets." Now this is the type of a headline we would be happy to get bored with power-technology.com/features/nucle…

"Resources Minister Keith Pitt says nuclear energy is 'on Australia’s technology roadmap' but would require agreement from both major parties." Undeniably, things are changing for nuclear and the changes are all round positive all over the world skynews.com.au/opinion/chris-…

Our Project 22220 (RITM-200 PWR-based) lead nuclear icebreaker Arktika began escorting vessels Engineer Trubin and Polar King from the port of Pevek (home of the floating NPP Akademik Lomonosov) in a 1st east-west NSR escort for such an icebreaker. Now photos!

"The Korean gov't poured $20 bln into expanding generation capacity of solar and wind plants. However, the shares of these renewables have not grown much, as they failed to get over the limitation of intermittency." Renewables are intermittent. Shocking! koreatimes.co.kr/www/opinion/20…

Int'l group carrying out the research consists of 37 experts. The research seeks to evaluate the impact of commercial shipping along the NSR using advanced tech. The study will allow creating ways to protect Arctic environment & making NSR development as sustainable as possible

Meme Friday is back! Just so everyone knows, fossil fuels have no place in the low-carbon tomorrow. We need to decarbonise grids worldwide & we have had a proven solution (nuclear power) for years. Now let's build, build, build!

"Main opposition presidential candidate Yoon Suk-yeol vowed to scrap the current Moon Jae-in government's nuc phase-out policy, saying he will make S. Korea a powerhouse in nuclear power generation." Great! The more state-supported nuc vendors, the better for global climate goals

"[The Philippine] Presidential candidate Sen. Manny Pacquiao intends to push for floating nuclear power plants as part of his commitment to ensuring sufficient power supply and cheaper electricity in the country." philstar.com/headlines/2022…
