MAJOR WIN FOR CLIMATE ACTION!
We've halted the demolition of Tihange's cooling towers!
Why it matters:
โ
Prevents irreversible destruction of billions in clean energy infrastructure
โ
Keeps the door open for restarting Tihange 1 & 2
โ
Protects Belgium's energy security & climate goals
The DOE-NE awarded more than $19 million to five U.S. companiesโAlpha Nur, Curio Solutions, Flibe Energy, Oklo, and Shine Technologiesโto research and develop recycling technologies for spent nuclear fuel.

Flibe Energy has won a DOE grant to refine its concept for recycling used nuclear fuel. Flibe will research electrochemical processes that dissolve fuel rods, separate the uranium for reuse in conventional reactors, and retain fission products and transuranics for use in liquid-fuel reactors. 1/2

It's not that advanced reactors aren't and can never be economical (that's crazy), but they haven't been economical so far (for very specific reasons) and have a steep hill to climb to achieve viability. As always, the only way to climb it is to build build build. www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2JL...

Conrad, are you bouncing these efforts off some LLM tool too? What you're doing is important, but I'm worried you might not have all the tools that might help at your disposal. Can share access to an LLM if you don't have one.

If we have a 2 sided discussion, I think things will go fine. My problem is that so far, the nuclear town hall held by GPC had only anti-nuclear participants. Radiant Energy's polling included GPC (a rare breakout) and my fellow Green are least likely to know that nuclear is low carbon.
