🇨🇦🍁 Nuclear? We CANDU it!

[Ben☢️🔋♟️ @Fissionary_]

I wrote something for those who are unsure about nuclear technology.

For people who have genuine concern regarding waste and safety - I hope to alleviate these worries by providing some well needed context in this opinion piece in the Star.

[Westinghouse Nuclear @WECNuclear]

George Westinghouse would marvel at the incredible advances in nuclear technology that our namesake company has made over the last 75 years. About half of all the world’s nuclear power plants are based on Westinghouse nuclear technology. ​

Last week, “Bricks George” unveiled our advanced modular AP1000® PWR bricks set. You can see his bricks engineering buddy working below on a new AP1000 unit, just like the ones we are deploying across the world. ​

Now, we're giving away five Westinghouse bricks sets to people who reshare this post. We'll draw names on Monday from everyone who reposted!​

You can build a mini-Westinghouse nuclear reactor at home!

I would pay upwards of 300$ a month for an AI chess coach, an IM coach costs about 50$ and hour, but an on demand coach at that same level, is easily worth so much more.

Why is AI so bad at Chess?

@whatisnuclear CANDU, because I work with them, and they are real!

[Ben☢️🔋♟️ @Fissionary_]

@JessePeltan #1 Storage, #2 gas…

[Ben☢️🔋♟️ @Fissionary_]

@Waksman84 People in the industry actively working on projects or cheerleaders/nuke bros?

[Ben☢️🔋♟️ @Fissionary_]

@clawrence Fine, but they consume more power than they generate, whereas conventional power plants don’t - so there are differentiations which make them unique, and likely why many people are uncomfortable grouping them together

[Ben☢️🔋♟️ @Fissionary_]

@bert_gilfoyle As someone who works in the industry, hell yeah! Maybe ask for equity in lieu of matching pay

[Ben☢️🔋♟️ @Fissionary_]

@CollinRugg Dude, everyone knew that when it happened, this isint news

[Ben☢️🔋♟️ @Fissionary_]

@stepien_przemek @dwrightman Bruce has 8 reactors lol…about 6GW

[Ben☢️🔋♟️ @Fissionary_]

@TimMLatimer I always assumed it was a Canada / US thing.. everyone I work with in Ontario pronounces it “tur-BINE”

[Ben☢️🔋♟️ @Fissionary_]

@miketor63 Should be doing solar too, not sure why Ontario only seems to build wind when it comes to renewables

Someday some reporter will figure out how to explain to the American public how post-Covid inflation was a worldwide phenomenon caused by pent-up demand and that the Biden/Harris administration handled it better than every other country.

[Ben☢️🔋♟️ @Fissionary_]

@RealRickRule @starmediaguy Yes, but people deserve dental care and I don’t mind my taxes helping provide that for everyone

[Ben☢️🔋♟️ @Fissionary_]

@nuclearzak typical anti-RE stuff not surprised to be hearing this from Robert...shame theres so much ofthis within pro-nuke folk

[Ben☢️🔋♟️ @Fissionary_]

@antio @PoweredByEos Steel toe covers for folks who didn’t bring safety shoes

[Ben☢️🔋♟️ @Fissionary_]

@CollinRugg So why are you sharing it and giving it more visibility?

[Ben☢️🔋♟️ @Fissionary_]

@stepien_przemek @miketor63 https://t.co/9rFhNUawm2

Being upset at unplanned or prolonged outages is a good thing. But don’t exaggerate the issue

[Ben☢️🔋♟️ @Fissionary_]

@LangmanVince because it turns into a comedy show when it should be about the future of the country? yeah good call imo

[Ben☢️🔋♟️ @Fissionary_]

@cadlam Ahhhhhh makes sense

[Ben☢️🔋♟️ @Fissionary_]

@cadlam Right so what I’m trying to get at is, does the argument in this thread for PTs also include CT, which it would need to. But it sounds like it does!

So, there is a chance that FC replacement may not be part of the MCR scope (if CNSC approves)?
