Argentina and El Salvador sign MoU on nuclear energy
  • @Emil

    I think there is great potential in using the Treaty of Tlatelolco as a mechanism for pooling national resources to advance nuclear energy in Latin America.

  • Westinghouse and EDF appeal against Czech nuclear tender process
  • @Emil

    I'm planning to visit both Dukovany and Temelin in the coming weeks. I should be able to report on their visitor centres.

  • California legislature, governor at odds on Diablo Canyon funding
  • @SubArcticTundra

    It would be if anybody cared. But California government is intensely dysfunctional. If anything, it's worse than Texas (where I'm from), which is really difficult.

  • California legislature, governor at odds on Diablo Canyon funding
  • @Emil

    "California legislature, governor at odds" is a blanket statement which is always true. The Assembly and Senate are controlled by the Governor's party, but he always vetoes whatever bills they pass.

  • Agency sees progress and challenges for EU fuel supply chain
  • @Emil

    Germany continues to insist on the supremacy of EU over national law even in areas not explicitly covered by the Treaties of the European Communities. So why (I ask for the umpteenth time) has the Euratom Supply Agency not demanded that Germany turn over all spent nuclear fuel for reprocessing, regardless of German law prohibiting this?

  • Armenian reactor vessel checked for extended operation
  • @Emil

    Armenia would be a perfect customer for the Rolls-Royce "SMR", which actually has more output than their surviving VVER-440, one of an original two. Given that the one operating unit at Metsamor provides 25% of the country's electricity, their grid simply can't accommodate anything bigger, although Russia keeps trying to sell them a VVER-1200.

  • Comanche Peak adds years to operating licenses
  • @Emil

    My home-town plant!

    Maybe they'll open the Visitor Center again. When I went, several years ago now, with a couple of folks from the Dallas Makerspace, it was by-appointment-only.

    Still a great pity that the proposed 2×1700 MW additional units didn't materialize.

  • Italy / Sogin Completes First Phase Of Key Dismantling Project At Garigliano Nuclear Power Plant
  • @Emil @hsdkfr734r

    Even when it's not required explicitly, it's a common enough practice, because a lot of work which would initially have to be done under health-physics control can, if you wait (for instance) five or ten half-lives of cobalt-60, be done much more cheaply under normal working conditions.

  • EPW Senate staffer and former reactor operator nominated to the NRC
  • @Emil

    Someone who actually knows nuclear energy, on the NRC?

    Golly!

    Just your run-of-the-mill space colonist.
