Celebrating a historic first! 🇫🇮⚛️

With Finland granting the operating license for the world's first deep geological repository, here’s a throwback to Mark Nelson (@energybants) showing how spent fuel is safely stored in a repository and designed for retrieval if needed.

"Wait a minute... nuclear energy is actually low-carbon and a reliable baseload power source?" 🤯⚛️

Great news out of the UK: The Green Party of England and Wales has officially voted to drop its longstanding blanket opposition to nuclear power. Better late than never!

The treated water Massachusetts won't let Holtec discharge: ~800,000 gallons containing less than 12 curies of tritium—about as much as a self illuminating tritium exit sign (~11.5 Ci).

Math: 12 Ci in 790,000 gallons = ~148,000 Bq/L. Using the ICRP 72 adult ingestion-dose coefficient (1.8×10⁻¹¹ Sv/Bq), that's 0.0027 mSv/L. A single-view chest X-ray is ~0.02 mSv, equivalent to drinking about 2 gallons of this water undiluted.

The ban is pure theater. It needlessly makes nuclear more expensive and slows the transition to a cleaner electricity grid. A federal judge struck down New York's similar ban in 2025 as preempted by federal law, though New York appealed. Massachusetts relies on a different law, so we'll see how that plays out. Meanwhile, the lawyers will keep cashing the checks!

[Generation Atomic @Gen_Atomic]

@tlarson95425 Yeah. Undiluted by non-tritiated water.

@ConstellationEG @Google I think the technical term for this is "hell yeah"

[Constellation @ConstellationEG]

More nuclear energy is coming to PJM. Our agreement with @Google will add 890 MW of reliable, emissions-free capacity – equivalent to a new reactor – backed by $4.3B+ in private investment. Deal will also sustain and create thousands of jobs. More info ↙️

Adding nuclear back on the menu just makes sense. 🍝⚛️

As Europe moves toward decarbonization, lifting nuclear bans is the key to maintaining grid stability and meeting climate goals.

Clean energy isn’t a competition. We need all the clean tools in the toolbox!
