Today on Bloomberg, I discussed why we need nuclear not just for AI but for the future of industry broadly. Public policy (under Trump and Biden) now clearly supports the deployment of advanced reactors. But making this nuclear future a reality requires solving three key issues: 1/ Safety 2/ Waste 3/ Proliferation This is why we have backed TRANSMUTEX — the advanced reactor company solving these challenges that held back nuclear in the past.

This is the new way to energy independence.

Build Fusion energy generators Your talk as Nuclear (meaning only Fission) and fails to talk about fusion. https://lnkd.in/ge_aeX7M You are, as the nuclear fission industry is, ignorant of what's happening around you. Pull your uranium heads out, start adjusting your industry to fusion energy and start preparing to enter the commercially growing fusion energy industry. As it dawns on Earth like the sun. Great Headline Guardian on Nuclear fission. https://lnkd.in/g8sMZtpR Fission is moving towards obsolescence at an accelerated pace, as it is "out of step, out of time, out of place," and merely a temporary industry globally. https://lnkd.in/gbd_mZqk Commercial fusion electrical generation is a promising and innovative method of producing sustainable and clean energy. By 2028, Helion is expected to start producing electricity from its first fusion commercial power plant, which will provide electricity to Microsoft. The plant will produce at least 50 MWe after an initial ramp-up period. https://lnkd.in/gY9J3MQY Now see what news is happening in the Fusion industry in the world. https://lnkd.in/g9hMBD7a As fission trebles, fission fuel shortage is increasingly real, as linked below. https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr https://lnkd.in/gbd_mZqk

The antipodeans Sir Ernest Rutherford "father of nuclear physics" and Sir Mark Oliphant, "Opposer of the fission bomb" were the first experimental demonstrators of nuclear fusion. Why then are the Australian Government and the Federal Opposition not working to get it developed in Australia and bring it back home? New Zealand has, so why not Australia? Interesting articles about Nuclear and I know you haven't looked at Fusion. So let's look at the nuclear or Fission option versus Fusion 1. Fission (Nuclear) Not able to be licenced. https://lnkd.in/gbm2t5uU 2. Authorities have the power to grant licenses for fusion, which is not explicitly covered by the Nuclear Act or the ARPANSA definition. https://lnkd.in/gjKFABpy The above ARPANSA link defines nuclear as fission—no mention of Fusion. 3. A fission (Nuclear)reactor without fissile fuel is a building. 4. A fusion reactor without fissile fuel is a fusion reactor building 5, Fissile (Nuclear) fuel availability and the future cost is a concern, especially for economists and users Dittmar, M. (2011). The End of Cheap Uranium. ArXiv. /abs/1106.3617 Even the UN has identified this, so why does the Fission(Nuclear) industry persist in denying its death like fossil fuels https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr 6. Should the focus in Australia be on nuclear fission advancement or the promotion of fusion technology? 7, Fission (Nuclear) is only at present in 39 countries out of 189. 8. Is Dutton doing a Menzies and wanting a loophole to get fission (Nuclear) weapons to start with for the subs? 9. Australia still has no high-level radiation waste storage facility 10. Helion Fusion has committed to having its fusion version working in 2028 11. The FIA (Fusion Industry Association) has postulated that commercial power fusion will be available in the 2030s. 12. In its fusion conference report in 2023, the IAEA postulated that all International nuclear (Fission) Laws like the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty do not consider fusion, so it seems it can be built in Australia now. 13. Fusion is also being developed "Small Modular Fusion Reactors" like Zap Energy and Avalanche Energy. 14. HB11 and the UNSW Tokamak project have positioned Australia prominently in the trillion-dollar international fusion industry. Instead of relying on fission with a limited lifetime, wouldn't it be preferable to support Australian renewables, batteries, and hydrogen energy generators and back them up with a fusion power plant? This would eliminate the traditional waste problem while still providing medical isotopes and advancements in medical technology like MRIs. Let's focus on creating a sustainable future for Australia instead of perpetuating pollution and leading to an energy crisis. https://lnkd.in/ekakyifA

Energy is national security. With renewables we become a forever importer of gadgets from places that do not have our interests at heart.

Beginning May 7, 2025, U.S residents will need a REAL ID, or other federally accepted form of ID in order to board domestic flights, enter nuclear power plants, and access federal facilities. #MissouriDepartmentofRevenue Learn the facts about #REALID at https://lnkd.in/gKxBWpck

In its #manifesto for the next EU Commission, the nuclear industry details its #contributions to multiple sectors of the European #economy. Read our manifesto 👉 https://swll.to/wg1GOR

Today's article in The Australian from MCA CEO Tania Constable highlights that if Australia is to remain competitive in the global marketplace, Australia must end the ban on nuclear energy, and let the marketplace sort it out. Read below: https://lnkd.in/gQrDQZUE

Fossil fuels are not sustainable and it's time for a change sooner rather than later so the big debate is renewables and/or nuclear. The thing that is obvious from our poll is that not enough of the country is informed enough to make a decision. It will be interesting to see how we vote in the next election based on this topic. #nuclearpower #nuclearenergy #cleanenergy #reneableenergy #climatechange

On Tuesday, July 9, 2024, #President Biden signed into law the most comprehensive energy-related bill since the Inflation Reduction Act—and it’s all about nuclear energy. Read this article to learn how this new law will support the deployment of nuclear reactors at home and abroad through a wide range of tools. #EnergyTransition #Energy
