Representing @NA_YGN at the @ENYGF conference to share best practices with other young generations in nuclear leaders from across Europe! #ENYGF25

[Matthew Mairinger @Mattwithchips]

Highly recommend this book for anyone trying to gain a greater understanding of nuclear energy! I found the discussion on our misplaced fear of radiation due to the Linear Non Threshold models clearly explained and appreciated the practical discussions on reducing global CO2.

Excited to be working with some global innovators over these next few days at the @iaeaorg Global Forum for Nuclear Innovation conference #gfni #gfni2024

@Gen_Atomic @Nuclear4Climate @NA_YGN @ens_ygn Also typical nuclear myths like:

-"no solution for the waste"
-"by the time nuclear is built it will be too late"
-"the immense damage nuclear mining is doing to Australia" [while neglecting to mention the damage coal is doing in Australia]

[Matthew Mairinger @Mattwithchips]

Crazy the amount of misinformation I heard at #sb60

"Average nuclear build time of 15 to 20 years" - false, its 6 to 8 years https://t.co/oAuY10QF61

"Countries that have nuclear enable coal production" - nuclear is directly phasing out coal (Ontario, France)

Extremely important, and overdue, work on battery lifecycle emissions now happening at the @IEA

[Matthew Mairinger @Mattwithchips]

The type of front page news I could get used to seeing! #netzeroneedsnuclear @financialpost - as an NGO attendee at COP28 I can vouch for these shifting perspectives regarding nuclear

[Matthew Mairinger @Mattwithchips]

@ryan_pickering_ @Fissionary_ @iaeaorg We have quite a few university chapters in Canada & the US (and always welcome new chapters). To get some specific things going contact Lindsy ([email protected]) and we can plan some amazing things together!

NAYGN is proud to announce our newest partner - @WiRE_Canada ! Women in Renewable Energy (WiRE) is a not-for-profit organization that started from a single chapter in Toronto, Ontario. WiRE has expanded its reach globally, establishing chapters in nearly every continent!

[Matthew Mairinger @Mattwithchips]

@NA_YGN is a proud member of @IsotopesCanada - attending the all members meeting at the @CanadaNuclear conference. Great to work together over the years to advocate and educate for medical isotopes!

[Matthew Mairinger @Mattwithchips]

Finally got around to reading "the dark horse" by @Kaikenhuippu and Janne Korhonen. Highly recommend! Especially enjoyed the insight into the discount rate used in the LCOE calculations and the impact this has.

🇫🇮 | Finnish Minister of Climate and the Environment, @KaiMykkanen:

“I would dare to say that in Europe and also globally there is no path to 1.5°C warming without an increasing role of nuclear energy”

[Matthew Mairinger @Mattwithchips]

Great opportunity here!
