Als de stroom prijzen zo hoog blijven, zijn zelfs dure nucleaire projecten als Hinkley Point C goedkoop te noemen. De Britten zouden wel eens spekkopers kunnen worden.Bij Sizewell C is dit voordeel nog groter. EDF geeft aan Sizewell met 20% lagere kosten te kunnen bouwen dan de nieuwe centrale in Hinkley Point omdat Sizewell C een kopie daarvan wordt. Quote: U.K. power prices have climbed so high that the cost of a new controversial nuclear plant, criticized for being too expensive, is now looking reasonable.

💎 ISODOPE our advocacy is working! across the world, countries are embracing nuclear and coming together to stop climate change. thankful that you're all a part of this community. #isodope #nuclearenergy #climatechange ...

And of course one very timely update to properly round this out. Here are the results of a brand new comprehensive UNECE LCA assessment. Like I said - nuclear GHG emissions are low and getting lower https://unece.org/sites/default/files/2021-10/LCA-2.pdf… ...

Onze kennispositie op het gebied van nucleaire technologie staat al jaren onder druk. Kennis die hard nodig is voor de energietransitie, zorg en afvalverwerking. Daarom hebben @SilvioErkens en ik 5 miljoen euro vrijgemaakt om de nucleaire kennisinfrastructuur te versterken. https://twitter.com/DassenLaurens/status/1468582399785250822?s=20 ...

‘It was becoming clear that nuclear energy would never be the same and that the industry needed a different approach.’ For the last few years, GE Hitachi have been quietly working away at a reactor design that might blow its competitors out the water — including natural gas.  https://medium.com/generation-atomic/something-happened-at-ge-hitachi-832996f4a998

Er scheelt eigenlijk heel wat aan deze narratief van@groen. Ze gebruiken een retorische truuk om zich pragmatischer voor te stellen dan ze zijn. Eigenlijk zeggen ze het volgende: "we zijn niet tegen kernenergie maar" *gevolgd door een reeks onrealistische eisen* Draadje /1

#Nuclear is expected to be included in the Green Taxonomy of the EU, based on scientific facts and for the climate’s sake. Obviously Greenpeace can’t handle that. So Greenpeace launches personal attacks, intimidates, harasses. A thread

A contract signed by the Ukrainian nuclear operator Energoatom and US vendor Westinghouse will trigger the engineering and procurement of components for the first of several AP1000s planned for Ukraine. The country is planning as much as 11 GWe of new build by 2040.

Ontario Power Generation (OPG) has selected the BWRX-300 small modular reactor (SMR) for the Darlington new nuclear site, and will work with GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) to deploy the reactor. Canada's first commercial, grid-scale, SMR could be completed as early as 2028
