The physical argument that SMRs are safer due to their localised, modular footprint represents a profound misunderstanding of thermodynamics and small island geography. The laws of physics do not change with scale. A single severe contamination event would permanently poison 1/2

The devastating twin earthquakes in Venezuela and the recent heat-related constraints on European nuclear plants remind us that nature—not political enthusiasm—sets the limits within which engineering must operate.

As Jamaica contemplates another Small Modular Reactor (SMR) Memorandum of Understanding, we should distinguish political enthusiasm from engineering reality. Read On this Insight at: https://t.co/Hkg81kgZZi

3 countries. 3 warnings. 1 decision for JM.

An earthquake in Venezuela. Nuclear power reductions during France's heatwave. Cooling-water constraints at Switzerland's Beznau Nuclear Power Plant. Together they illustrate a simple engineering truth: nature negotiates with no one.

They were built by millions of makers—scientists, physicists, engineers, mathematicians, farmers, technicians, inventors and entrepreneurs who solved real problems and created lasting value.

'Jamaica Needs Makers' Millions, Not "Make-Belie" Billions'

"All is mine."
or
"Much has been entrusted to me."

One corrodes institutions. The other strengthens them.
My latest column explores why JM's future depends less on the technologies we adopt than on the philosophy that governs those entrusted with power.

The Prime Minister's vision for Jamaica's energy future is welcome — but ambition must be grounded in engineering reality. Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) present risks the grid and economy may not be ready to absorb. https://t.co/CVBcetznRN #JM #SustainableEnergy #DennisAMinott

The June 5 blackout showed that generation is only part of the equation. When lines fail, even sophisticated plants can’t deliver. The blackout was more than an outage — it was a warning about cascading failure & misplaced assumptions. https://t.co/8HkbukLX37
