இந்தியா அணுக்கதிரியக்க அபாயத்தில் தள்ளும் இம்மசோதாவை ஒன்றிய அரசுத் திரும்பப் பெற வேண்டும் எனக் கோருகிறோம்.

இந்திய அணுசக்தித் துறையில் தனியாரை அனுமதிப்பது உள்ளிட்ட பல்வேறு பிரச்னைக்குரிய பிரிவுகளைக் கொண்ட மசோதா ஒன்று அவசரகதியில் நாடாளுமன்றத்தில் அறிமுகம் செய்யப்பட்டுள்ளது. எதிர்கட்சி உறுப்பினர்கள் இதை அறிமுகம் செய்வதற்கு எதிர்ப்பு தெரிவித்துள்ளனர். #AtomicEnergy #SHANTI_Bill #Poovulaginnanbargal -பூவுலகின் நண்பர்கள் (Poovulagin Nanbargal)

Integrating critical infrastructure systems more and more tightly by making them all digital and dependent on digital infrastructure increases the risk of catastrophic failure cascades. The risk profile has a phase transition with respect to increasing interconnectivity that, once crossed, makes such failure cascades comparatively highly likely.

The effect is not unlike nuclear fission reactions, which require a certain density of fissile material before they'll be self-sustaining. An event that'd just sputter out at one density might become an out-of-control explosion at a slightly higher density. Likewise, what might be a small and isolated component fault at one level of connectivity could be a catastrophic cascading critical infrastructure failure at a slightly higher level of connectivity.

The possibility of cascading failures in the nuclear power system seems like something we should be putting considerable resources into avoiding, rather than actively courting.

Four days ago: #Spain Signals Openness to Keeping #NuclearPowerPlants Open

By Daniel Basteiro and Thomas Gualtieri
April 24, 2025

"Spain is signaling for the first time that it’s open to reconsidering the shutdown of #NuclearPlants over the next decade amid a global revival of #AtomicEnergy.
While that’s not the plan agreed with nuclear plant operators, and it would be up to them to present concrete proposals, extensions are not ruled out, Environmental Transition Minister Sara Aagesen said in an interview.

" 'Nuclear energy will be present in our mix at least until 2035' but could go beyond that if companies propose extensions, which hasn’t happened yet, she said prior to an International Energy Agency summit on the future of energy security. 'We’re not considering anything because there is no specific proposal on the table.' "

Today [April 28th] "Spain's nuclear power plants automatically stopped, but diesel generators were activated to keep them in 'safe condition', officials said."
