The Japanese industrial group is currently developing an advanced light-water reactor it aims…

“#KeirStarmer ignored warnings from his #nuclear #safety #watchdog that it was wrong to blame #regulations for #delays building new #reactors when he launched a plan to revive the #NuclearPower industry.

The prime minister unveiled the #NuclearRenaissance strategy in February and said #investment had slumped because the industry was “SUFFOCATED BY REGULATIONS”.

However, a document released under freedom of information law reveals that the UK’s #OfficeForNuclearRegulation (#ONR) told the government in the run-up to the launch that claims about #delays to nuclear power in a draft press release were “not true”. Despite this, the claims were repeated in the final release.”

The future #Australia avoided.

“The announcement follows the prime minister’s call for #tech companies to work alongside the government to build small modular reactors (#SMRs) to power energy intensive #AI #DataCentres across #Britain.

Speaking on Wednesday, Starmer vowed to “push past #nimbyism” and warned his new rural and suburban MPs that he would “break through” if there was resistance and use his party’s big majority to ensure there could be no #dissent.

The #PM said that he anticipated smaller #reactors could be built by 2032 and could become commonplace across Britain. He hinted the #government was keen to offer #consumers lower bills if they lived close to new #obtrusive nuclear construction.”

Maybe it is time to call out the SMR bullshit?

On Tuesday, October 29, the organization's experts visited power unit No. 1 after receiving information about a water leak in the reactor coolant pump support system. In order to carry out welding work, it was necessary to reduce the pressure in the primary circuit to atmospheric levels. Radiographic inspection of the welds is currently underway.

#KnowledgeByte: Meltdown-proof #Nuclear #Reactors represents a crucial step towards a safer and more sustainable energy future.

A LARGE-scale nuclear power station in China is the first in the world to be impervious to dangerous meltdowns, even during a full loss of external power. This breakthrough can help in more adoptions of #NuclearEnergy and help in fight against #ClimateChange.
