Matthew Marzano confirmed as newest NRC commissioner 2x Gator Matthew Marzano is the newest member of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. He earned his MS under my supervision. Go Gator Nukes!
NRC is usually 3-2 partisan in favor of the current president. Biden should have nominated someone early summer. Republicans probably voted no so that Trump could appoint someone else. But Trump'll get his 2-3 appointments. Personally, I don't care which party is in charge. Let's build more nuke plants! And it's good that a Gator -- one of my students! -- is on the panel that gets to decide how many and how fast.
Given today's vastly better technology, there is no reason nuclear reactors shouldn't replace fossil fuels. We know why the aren't. The fossil fuel monopoly should experience the same enmity as the health care industry.
which nexgen plant do you prefer, the package plant from westinghouse SMR or the salt plant that Gates is building
MAJOR gaslight alert. The left HATES anything that has the word "nuclear" attached, for purely ideological reasons. Fossil fuels have nothing to do with it.
microsoft getting behind this fusion reactor design, compact, plug and play. fusion version of the westinghouse SBR plug and play fission reactor AI modeling is advancing theoretical designs much faster and testing results are proving to be more consistent with modeling. US firm developing breakthrough fusion energy generators gets funding boost A Wisconsin-based firm, developing magnetic mirror fusion energy generators, got a funding boost. Realta Fusion has received the funding from TitletownTech, a venture capital firm formed by Microsoft and the Green Bay Packers. The company is developing modular, compact, magnetic mirror fusion energy generators to power AI-driven infrastructure and other industrial applications, according to reports. Although, TitletownTech didn’t specify the amount it invested in Realta Fusion. “At Realta Fusion, we’ve developed an innovative approach to fusion energy with a right-sized fusion system design – compact and scalable to provide efficient and reliable solutions for decarbonizing industrial heat and power,” said the company in a statement. The company claims that its magnetic mirror confines a plasma between two high-field superconducting magnets. The strong magnetic fields cause charged, energetic particles to bounce back and forth, also known as the mirror effect.
