Bingeworthy Clean Energy Content
2.) A well made and
very entertaining documentary called Thorium, The Far Side of Nuclear.
It tells the story of how, over 50 years ago, a group of scientists
tasked with making a nuclear airplane, invented a different type of
nuclear reactor. A reactor that couldn't melt down (not that meltdowns
are anywhere as deadly as coal plants, spewing pollution in normal
operation) and made enough process heat that it could deeply decarbonize
our entire society. It's called the Molten Salt Reactor. Oh, and it
has one of my favorite scientists, Alvin Weinberg, in cartoon form,
drinking Jack Daniels for a good chunk of the movie. Definitely worth a
watch:
Have a great weekend, and thanks for everything you do in the fight for fission,
Eric

U.S military wants to build mobile microreactor in Idaho - The Hour
U.S military wants to build mobile microreactor in Idaho - The Hour: BOISE, Idaho (AP) - The U.S. Department of Defense wants to build a prototype advanced mobile nuclear microreactor at the Idaho National Laboratory in eastern Idaho, saying they are needed to ensure the military's energy supply.
The microreactor would be capable of producing one to 10 megawatts. A megawatt can power from about 400 to 900 homes, depending on energy consumption that is dependent on such things as air conditioning.
The department says it wants to reduce reliance on local electric grids, which are highly vulnerable to prolonged outages from a variety of threats.
The department is considering building the microreactor at the U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory in eastern Tennessee would also take part.
Edwin Lyman, director of Nuclear Power Safety at the Union of Concerned Scientists, a nonprofit, said the project has a goal of creating a portable reactor that can shut down and start up quickly, and doesn't need maintenance or an operator.
"We're talking about paper designs where it would take a long time to develop and demonstrate them to the point where any military commander would actually want to have on

EU Electricity Group Calls For Flexibility To Ensure Plants Are Staffed :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency
EU Electricity Group Calls For Flexibility To Ensure Plants Are Staffed :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: National governments and EU institutions should consider greater flexibility to allow specialised personnel to travel for inspection, operation and maintenance of critical installations and ensure that control centres and plants remain sufficiently staffed, a report on Europe’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic has said.
The report, published by electricity industry group Eurelectric, says energy companies needs support to tackle the financial pressure resulting from government decisions to postpone the payment of invoices.
It says European investment plans and economic recovery programmes should be fully compatible with EU climate objectives and support electrification and decarbonisation of the EU economy by targeting investment in technologies critical for the energy transition.

The company’s original estimate production estimate for 2020 was production of 22,750 to 22,800 tonnes of uranium on a 100% basis.
The company said the fall in production is not expected to affect its obligations for 2020 in terms of sales volumes. It said it has told all its customers that contractual obligations will be fulfilled in full.
