READ: "There’s a sea-change afoot when it comes to how society views #nuclear #energy, in large part driven by new supporters who see #climatechange as an existential threat, and are open to using available technologies, such as nuclear, to fight it."

Last week I visited @SCE_SONGS, a #nuclear generating station in the process of decommissioning. They let me check radiation levels right beside where spent fuel is stored & do you know what I found? Basically nothing. As expected.

Radiation doesn't leak, you can't breathe it in, and it does not spread. It's time to get back to the basics on radiation and the difference between radiation and radioactive material.

[isabelle 🪐 @isabelleboemeke]

the idea that nuclear power is bad is costing us our future, and it’s time to let go of it.

my @TEDTalks is now live! please watch and share, i’d love to hear your thoughts 💕 #tedtalk #nuclearpower

INBOX: @ENERGY Tues unveiled its much-vaunted funding opportunity for potential interim storage host sites. $16M in funding to be divided up over eight awardees over a ~2 year period. Story TK.

[Julia DeWahl @juliadewahl]

We need to change the narrative from *nuclear energy is bad* to *nuclear energy is cool*

Badass TED talk from @i_sodope_ who has been championing nuclear energy since before it was remotely cool 👏

Watch Isabelle in action & you hear young ppl of the world make a desperate plea to halt global warming & make their future livable.

Can you blame them?

The anti-nuclear fear mongering of the past needs to be left in the past. There's no livable future w/o nuclear power.

My @TEDTalks is now live! Go check it out and let me know what you think. Spread the message. 💙

[Oscar Archer @OskaArcher]

There are no new anti-nuclear arguments.

You're probably tired of me observing this. But.

Recent events have shown there are also fewer and fewer anti-nuclear arguments.

[SCE_SONGS @SCE_SONGS]

@GovNuclear We need to continue to address the issue with facts, not fear (as some do). Only then can clear-headed decisions be made.

[Office of Nuclear Energy | US Department of Energy @GovNuclear]

WE HEAR YOU: The successful management of our nation’s spent nuclear fuel MUST be based on trust and collaboration.

Here’s what we learned from @ENERGY’s new report analyzing public feedback on our consent-based siting program. 👇

“Incredible tour earlier this week at Plant Vogtle! Large, complex projects like this are challenging but are essential to the future of the nuclear energy sector. By this time next year, this plant will be the largest producer of clean power in the country!” – Katy Huff

@gms111 @KarlJohanson @dorfman_p @truthout Well, we're asking for some facts...

[SCE_SONGS @SCE_SONGS]

@gms111 @KarlJohanson @dorfman_p @truthout Hard to take you seriously when everyone who disagrees with you is a "shill." And given you seem unable to support your statements, you in effect move the goalposts by refusing to provide the relevant data.

[SCE_SONGS @SCE_SONGS]

@gms111 @KarlJohanson @dorfman_p @truthout That's how nuclear safety works. People bring information forward and it's reviewed.
"The panel apparently spent almost a year analyzing Peck’s DPO before rejecting it in May of 2014 and declaring that PG&E had satisfied all regulatory requirements."

[SCE_SONGS @SCE_SONGS]

@gms111 @KarlJohanson @dorfman_p @truthout Interesting take, you've thought this through. Spent nuclear fuel hasn't caused cancer in anyone (please explain how it would); and DC sits on a high bluff. You've analyzed the tsunami potential there, please share your data...
