Sometimes when a star dies, it leaves some energy behind. Our nuclear fuel is a 5 billion year old gift from the milky way. This brings new meaning to the phrase "Thank your lucky stars!"

@whatisnuclear @isabelleboemeke Until US maritime reactors get the same whole-of-gov level of support like Savannah, the effort will have to be industry-led, and that means developing a US-flagged/owned/operated vessel that the navy isn’t worried could be dual use.

I want to see it happen just like you!

[River @RiverBennett]

@whatisnuclear @isabelleboemeke Also having too much overlap between civilian and Naval designs is a non-starter for NNSA / ITAR. But that’s just the US context. Who knows about china.

[River @RiverBennett]

@whatisnuclear @isabelleboemeke Very true but the supply chain today for PWRs at sea is entirely geared to navy. The maritime sector sees that configuration (and the required staffing and fuel enrichments) as too expensive.

[River @RiverBennett]

@whatisnuclear @isabelleboemeke Maybe similar to the challenge in the US where PWRs at sea are strictly for the navy

I asked stable diffusion what it thinks photovoltaic systems would look like in the style of various artists.

@nuclearkatie I was at a concert last weekend where a guy at the bar just handed me a wristband unsolicited and said "you look old enough"

We're compiling a reading list for the 2022
@NuclearBootcamp cohort - our first in-person group since 2019.

What are some must-reads that have been published during the last few years?

The least cool thing about being a nuclear engineer is getting to go to so many cool places and being UNABLE TO TAKE PICTURES OF ALL THE COOL THINGS

@J_Lovering @jhaverly @StateDept @SenAlexPadilla Call the office and explain your issue. It actually works like magic no joke.

[Good Energy Collective @GoodEnergyColl]

No matter the size, no matter the fuel, local support is critical for power plants. New polling shows 58% of CA and 74% of SLO county residents support continued operation of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant (Polling from @DataProgress @CarbonFreeCA) https://t.co/XVP9spH8z8

If nuclear reactors are kept getting smaller and smaller...

@hausfath @GlobalEcoGuy Pretty much all of the advanced nuclear startups and policy NGO’s are hiring as well!
