Canuks preparing to double down on nuclear energy, looking to build up to 10 new reactors over the next 15 years, sell Canadian-made CANDU reactors to more countries and double uranium exports.

Plans: start construction two new large-scale reactors by 2035, 5 more to be planned or under development by 2040, and a microreactor to be finalized by 2035 and deployed to a remote community by the late 2030s. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/federal-nuclear-strategy-9.7244509 #Canada #NuclearEnergy #Candu #Nuclear #NuclearReactor #Energy #CNL #Uranium #AECL #CanGov #NuclearStrategy 🇨🇦

Russia's Burevestnik Missile Exposes Radioactive Risks

Researchers Jake Hecla and R. Scott Kemp warn that Russia's Burevestnik missile likely poses significant radioactive risks, with its nuclear reactor probably venting large quantities of radioactive material into the atmosphere. This alarming finding was made possible by clever analysis of open-source imagery and performance data.

#Google and #Amazon are building #nuclear #fission #reactors to power data centers and calling it #sustainable

I know it's old news, but when I saw mention of this just now, a lot of #despair arose for me. The crash is ramping up and it's going to hurt when it comes. It already hurts now.

I'm using this as my wallpaper now, and it's cool enough I want to share it: it's a picture of the Advanced Test Reactor (the blue glow is from Cherenkov radiation in the reactor pool). I lightly edited it to give a more sci-fi-concept-art ambiance.

#SouthernCalifornia #wildfires force evacuations, and one is threatening a #nuclear facility

Evacuations remain in place for fires burning in #Ventura and #Riverside counties. The Sandy Fire in #SimiValley is burning near the #SantaSusanaFieldLaboratory, a former #NuclearReactor site, raising #AirQuality concerns.

Excerpt: "Due to the Sandy Fire’s proximity to the Santa Susana Field Laboratory, a former nuclear reactor and rocket testing facility, officials are conducting air quality monitoring around the fire perimeter.

" 'Monitoring equipment has been proactively deployed to establish background air quality readings and to help assess conditions should the fire advance further into the area,' according to CAL Fire. 'At this time, the fire has not crossed into the Field Laboratory property.'

"Nuclear cleanup continues more than 50 years after a nuclear reactor mishap at the #Rocketdyne site. Fire crews are prioritizing the protection of the facility and the surrounding communities. "
