Most of the conversations that I have about nuclear energy, leads to the same question: “- but what about the waste? -What waste? -Well, you know, it remains highly hazardous for a long time and…” Let me tell you 3 facts about nuclear spent fuel: 1️⃣ A nuclear power plant,…
Historic moment for U.S. nuclear 🇺🇸 The @NRCgov just approved @holtecintl exemption & license transfer requests for the Palisades Nuclear Plant, clearing the way to reload fuel, bring licensed operators back on shift & formally begin the restart process! Shut down in 2022,…
Just doing my duty as a big sister 💅⚛️
I have learned a lot from nuclear energy from you. Thank you @NuclearHazelnut
Just in 🚨 @OpenAI Stargate project will demand up to 4.5 GW of power for AI data centers. Located in Abilene, Texas, under ERCOT, a grid that’s famously isolated from the rest of the U.S. To put it in perspective: 4.5 GW = power for ~3 million homes. This isn’t your average…
📣 We’re hosting a Community Workshop in Las Vegas on July 26th! Let’s talk nuclear waste, community consent, clean energy, and the future. 🕘 8:30AM–2:30PM 📍Las Vegas, NV 👥 Meet advocates, tribal leaders & experts RSVP: lu.ma/m2kjuhdn
Am I the only one that wonders what would happen if I fell into those pools where spent nuclear fuel rods are cooled down? How would falling in here affect our health? And could we actually survive this? Let’s evaluate this possibility together.🤔
Fossil fuels kill over 8 million people every year, mostly through air pollution, making them the least safe & dirtiest sources of energy Worried about toxic waste? You’re breathing it.
✅ Affordable ✅ Reliable ✅ Secure Nuclear checks all the boxes.
SO EXCITING!!!!!! 👏⚛️
We've officially secured land at INL to construct and test the Aalo-X nuclear plant next year 🎉 Here's a little preview of what it will look like:
It’s not a phase, mom 🙄 it’s a zero-carbon baseload obsession
When I was 18, a professor told me I would never make it as an engineer… that I wasn’t cut out for it. Today? I work in nuclear safety, advocate globally, supported the risk analysis of the newest nuclear reactor in the U.S. & continue to support nuclear projects around the…
Share a piece of lore about yourself
MUST READ 🧐 German heavy industry emphasises the need for more competitive energy prices in strongly worded letter to Chancellor Merz: "If the energy transition is an open-heart operation on our economy, as is sometimes said, then this operation has so far been a complete…
Nuclear is powering America ⚛️ cleanly, quietly & around the clock. As temps soar past 100°F this 4th of July, nuclear keeps the grid cool, stable & carbon-free. No matter the heat, nuclear delivers: 🔹 Zero emissions 🔹 Reliable baseload 🔹 24/7 performance Happy 4th! 🇺🇸
Germany shut down its zero-emission nuclear fleet & brought coal back online. This isn’t a mystery, it’s what happens when you swap clean energy for fossil fuels. 📸: From @theepicmap
Life goal of mine-->sing opera inside a cooling tower. Last month, IT HAPPENED. And I filmed a music video. Here's a taste, with the full video in the comments! cc: @Gen_Atomic thank you @Elektrarne
My top 5 findings from the @EnergyInstitute's latest data dump. Let me know if there's anything more you'd like to see? 1. Nuclear remains a country's fastest and most proven technology for the rapid build-out of clean electricity. Recently, many countries have rapidly added…
