To all of my new and existing followers. I do most of posting about nuclear power on LinkedIn.
You are welcome to connect with me on there.

Im pretty certain this time 8 years ago @foxnews had already called the house for democrats. Looks like the results are closer than expected.
Deploy Fast Reactors Fast.

Anyone else want to go to Alameda and look for the nuclear wessels?

I’m going to take credit for being a catalyst that shifted the opinion on nuclear energy in Australia.
That makes two nations I have convinced.

Hegseth didn’t specifically mention nuclear in his plan to island power on bases, but it would almost certainly require it. Let me know what you think of the other benefits that I enumerated in this article that would be catalyzed from this including cleaner air & cheaper power.
Hegseth empowers America. Nuclear reactors at bases would mean less pollution and reduced electricity rates for civilians, writes @timechols

Second this. I put a small amount in each month. My 22 year old decided to take college courses. I was able to pay for them out of something I had forgotten about.
Living in Western Australia, I have learned to enjoy the lack of daylight savings time.
I will say that I would gladly support daylight savings in exchange for South Australia removing its ridiculous half hour time zone.
Since moving to Australia I have had many struggles with mental health and my physical health.
I have done a lot of work to improve that. Here is some photographic evidence to demonstrate what I have accomplished.
The photos are 1 month apart.
I love the discussion of “nuclear waste” piling up.
The entire quantity of the planet would fit inside one large landfill.
Also it becomes less dangerous over time.
You know what doesn’t become less dangerous?
Chemical waste.

Here is something interesting here in Australia regarding AUKUS.
Organizations here keep saying “entering the VIRGINIA-class supply chain” like that has meaning.
I have put parts for new construction submarines onto aircraft carriers.
I have even seen someone try to order an M1 Abrams tank to “fix” a motor generator on a submarine.
The U.S. Navy has a supply chain. It is not specific to any one class and integrates with the broader defense network plus Coast Guard.

It’s about to go supercritical!

BLUF: Dude slept next to a nuclear reactor and got less radiation than you!
Americans are more scared of data centers than nuclear plants, so stick a reactor on the lot and make the tech bros pay for it.
Don't fall for the "data center bad" psyop nonsense.
Imagine if we held wind and solar to the same standards as nuclear?
My response to wind and solar advocates that cite Fukushima and Chernobyl is to say that we will from now on only use 1960s designed wind and solar data.
In 23 years of working nuclear energy my lifetime dose of radiation is 9.9 mSv spread across those years of work.
My highest single dose of radiation was from a CT scan earlier this year at 1.4 mSv in 20 minutes.
The difference in what makes the first number scary is that we track and report. I had to ask for the dose specifically for medical radiation.
FYI. The mSv is the measurement of cellular damage and does not care where the radiation comes from.
As humans our environment bombards U.S. with 1.7-2.5 mSv of radiation annually.
Nuclear energy, even as an industry worker, isn’t event in my top three sources of radiation exposure.

I welcome it with arms wide open.

It started with SS Savannah in 1959 and we will get to see this continue. Would love to support the government directly with this as it moves forward.

🚨COMING SOON: NUCLEAR-POWERED CARGO SHIPS 🚨
@USDOT is working to fast-track construction of a new fleet of vessels to change the game and DOMINATE China
THAT MEANS:
📦 MORE CARGO (no internal fuel tanks)
🚢 FASTER SHIPS (up to 75% faster crossings)
🌐 ZERO EMISSIONS (20 years of continuous power without refueling)
The first NUCLEAR-POWERED vessel is set to be built in 2028 🇺🇸
Germany’s emissions rose when they shuttered their nuclear plants. The cost of electricity doubled.
Meanwhile France is making bank off electricity exports.
70% of France electricity generation is Nuclear. Their second biggest generation method is Hydro.

Germany built one of the largest wind and solar fleets on Earth. It dismantled its nuclear power stations and retired its coal, with the promise that green energy would power its future.
The country spent billions transitioning.
Then winter arrived, and "Dunkelflaut" hit -- the dark windless dead zone. Wind and solar fell to barely 5% of demand. The grid staggered, and Germany was forced to fire up old coal plants it said had closed forever, and import expensive nuclear from France.
This is the physics politicians fail to mention, and a point many people still fail to grasp: When the wind dies and the sun sets, renewables disappear. The only way the grid survives, the only reason countless millions don't freeze to death, is thanks to oil, coal, nuclear and gas.
I think that I get to take credit for the furthest to travel to celebrate America’s 250th Birthday.
My journey began in Perth, Australia and will end in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
