So like just to be clear, if you're worried about nuclear waste, you literally *want* fast reactors asap. That is the one way to consume the waste and reduce the lifetime it needs to be stored. (And btw they make clean electricity, in case you're also worried about environment.).

Did you know the Oklo family of companies has six distinct regulatory licensing processes involving nrc and doe or both?. 1) Aurora inl powerhouse.2) Aurora fuel fab.3) large scale fuel fab.4) recycling.5) isotope reactor.6) isotope facility. Check out the dashboard for details:.

It was surreal to be able to be in the West Wing yesterday, but far more so, it was surreal to see these historic changes for nuclear deployment come to pass. I think the last time i was in the White House was when Obama held a nuclear roundtable. From Obama to Trump 1 to Biden

Let's permit and build clean firm reliable affordable power plants

Nor the first "transportable" reactor

Folks. Please stop. You can't hold a kg+ of significantly irradiated fuel unless you want a sub-second timescale fasttrack to win a Darwin Award. This is why fuel can be self-protecting, an important concept in nuclear security. Nothing anyone is building will be the:.-.

Btw i sold some stock (fwiw Jake didn't, despite some reporting). It felt pretty good! Those who know us know we've never sold stock before, we went some years being the lowest paid at Oklo, and live in a mobile home in California. We have an upcoming tax bill and a new baby, and.

The industry relies on thinking that the public thinks that the NRC is a "gold standard" and ensures safety. Believe it or not, that leads to utility-funded industry institutes defending the regulator. I'm not so sure. On one hand, anti-nuclear advocates (to the extent they are.

Do you think the public would call the NRC a "gold standard" regulator?. (Also, do you know if there's any polling on this?).

Today in an NRC public meeting, someone in the public asked the good question of why we use the phrase "source term" which feels vague. It's a great point. We've been trying to find the best way to say the same thing. It's the amount of radionuclides that could be released in an.

MYTH 1: recycling nuclear waste (used nuclear fuel) is illegal in the US. It isn't. MYTH 2: it can't be cost competitive. Recycling waste is not so cost efficient for conventional reactors, but it *is* for fast reactors, which can fission the higher order actinides. MYTH 3:.

Next up drill baby drill.(Small boreholes for geotechnical characterization) :).

What would be really scary is a world with no nuclear power 😱.

To the nuclear nerds: has the nrc entertained any kind of bdba for pebble bed reactors related to the issue of graphite dust accelerating the reaction of oxygen with the graphite? . (Due to all the additional surface area of all the particles, and the fact that the reaction.
