@Lapizistik Natürlich nicht. #ITER dient der #Grundlagenforschung, und es geht dabei vorallem darum jene Technologie zu verstehen.

Dass #Atomkraft egal ob #Fission oder #Fusion keine Lösung des #Energieproblem|s darstellen kann, ist allen klar.

Vorallem wenn wir nichtmals ansatzweise #Solar & #Wind-Potenziale angezapft haben...

Selbst "primitive" #Solarthermie wäre ein massiver Gewinn weil #Skalierbar, konventinelle #Technologie und wie alle thermischen Kraftwerke erprobte & verlässliche Technologie.

Here we go…. the idiot’s well and truly back. Presumably Trump tried (unsuccessfully) to Google the facts five minutes before his speech?

Happy birthday to #physicist Lise Meitner (1878-1968) who explained #nuclear #fission. She worked with chemists Hahn & Straßmann in 30s Berlin, investigating whether there were any stable elements beyond uranium. They discovered bombarding nucleus of U-235 with neutrons actually triggered it to fission, or break, into 2 nuclei of roughly half the size & some free neutrons! Hahn’s chemistry lead to startling discovery of barium,🧵

"Cook is working on other forms of #decentralization, which could eventually help #thefediverse #scale. He is principal engineer on #Fission at #ProtocolLabs, the creator of #Filecoin and the #IPFS protocol (InterPlanetary File System), 2 popular #crypto projects. Fission says it is building an “edge computing stack” on top of IPFS. I asked Cook what that means, exactly?

“So we are building distributed compute tools…It’s relatively expensive to run a #MastodonServer."

With Microsoft's investment in Three Mile Island I was really hoping that might mean the San Onofre "Nuclear Boobs" might get some love. Sadly, I just learned that they've been decommissioning that plant for over a decade, and are 60% complete. The domes'll be gone in a few years. Bummer.

Cette divergence est la première depuis 25 ans pour le parc électronucléaire français. Ce 3 septembre restera gravé dans l’histoire de la filière nucléaire française.
De nombreux essais vont encore avoir lieu avant le couplage qui marquera l’ajout d’une source d’électricité bas carbone d’une puissance de 1600 MWe au réseau français et européen.

"New research from the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) and ADA Forsyth uncovered an extraordinary mechanism of cell division in Corynebacterium matruchotii, one of the most common #bacteria living in dental #plaque. The filamentous bacterium doesn’t just divide, it splits into multiple cells at once, a rare process called multiple #fission. The research is published this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences."

The lead-time for Renewables is the reason it kills olde worlde traditionale things like Coal and Fission.

You can build wind plants almost tomorrow. Solar is very slightly behind.

Storage is a bit slower because the tech is settling-out - but it's arriving.

The lead time on Coal is a decade because of the infrastructure required, and decades plural for Fission because it's like threading a camel train through the eye of a needle.

"... loss of 2 billion dollars..."

No, because this boondoggle was no doubt leveraged to finance more boondoggles.

This has nothing to do with #greenenergy or #decarbonization and everything to do with the #duckcurve and and insistence from #greenpeace and their ilk to bury their heads in the sand.

Fission is the British Science-Fiction Association’s fiction anthology. No.3 was a great read, particularly ‘Las Artes Hipnóticas (2032)’ by David Thomas Henry Wright, ‘The Burn Out’ by Lyle Hopwood, and ‘The Precious Physical World’ by Eva Garcia Guerrero (trans. Mike Lucas)
