A how-to guide — Grid Designer is a free sim that helps you design zero-carbon grid for the UK, testing against real-world demand and weather data. This article explains how it model works, and what it might teach us about our energy choices. (Seen previously on HackerNoon) Energy Matters Whether it’s the crisis following Russia’s invasion…

“Let the stars be your guide and the universe your inspiration” — Popular sentiment Nuclear fusion, the process that powers the Sun and the stars, offers immense potential to provide virtually limitless, clean, and safe energy on Earth. Compared to nuclear fission, used in nuclear power plants, fusion has the…

I am very reluctant to put out a story based on only one source, but I have followed this news source, Ukrinform, for some time, and appreciate their information. Ukrinform (https://www.ukrinform.net/block-lastnews) says Russia is preparing a large-scale provocation by simulating an accident at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/3714742-russians-preparing-largescale-provocation-at-znpp-in-coming-hours-ukrainian-intel.html

The solution to the partial differential equation that gave the Allies the first atomic bomb in WWII. — This article is the third of a series on the maths and physics behind the development of nuclear weapons in WWII. For more of an introduction and some historical context, I encourage you to check out the first article of the series: How a Small Miscalculation Stopped Germany From Developing the Atomic Bomb in WWII Heisenberg’s controversial miscalculation of the critical mass of an atomic bomb.www.cantorsparadise.com

Yes, the Federal Minister for Climate Change and Energy tweeted some unparalleled cringe about nuclear power, but let’s do something positive with it. — 1. Cost Methodology To reach an uncharitably high pricetag of $5 billion per power plant, the minister multiplied the gross nameplate output of the small modular reactor design specified in work by Nuclear For Climate, i.e. 300 megawatts (or 300,000 kW), with the overnight capital cost number for nuclear supplied by the CSIRO…

Introduction: In the late 1970s, the Three Mile Island accident shook the United States, revealing the critical impact of design flaws on preventing catastrophic accidents. This incident, which occurred on March 28, 1979, at the Pennsylvania-based nuclear power plant, demonstrated the dire consequences of inadequate control room design. …
