💡 Nuclear icebreakers are flooded with lights for a reason. ⚛️ Their reactors produce huge amounts of constant power — and when propulsion doesn’t need it all, electricity goes to lighting, heating, and onboard systems.

Today, many professionals in the nuclear energy industry believe that small modular reactors (SMRs) are an important direction for the future development of nuclear reactor technology. Linglong One(ACP100) stands as an innovative pioneer in the small reactor sector, charting new paths for comprehensive nuclear energy utilization. With the diversification of global energy demand and the urgent need for clean energy development, small reactors demonstrate unique advantages in remote area power supply and urban heating due to their flexibility and safety features.

Trawsfynydd Nuclear Power Station. Hands down nuclear power is the safest and most abundant source of energy mankind has ever discovered. It is clean, can be reusable (breeder reactors), and has a body count far far less than all other energy production methods. It is the epitome of green. Which is why they dont want you to have it and deliberately conflate nuclear power with nuclear weapons. Meanwhile all the major tech companies are planning to build small modular nuclear power stations for their data centres whilst pushing the green agenda.

We're undergoing a nuclear power renaissance that will create record energy production and lower electricity costs. In Congress, I'm fighting to codify President Donald J. Trump's nuclear power agenda: ⚛️HR 3667 - "Strengthening American Nuclear Energy Act" ⚛️HR 3626 - "Int'l Nuclear Energy Act"

EXCLUSIVE: NASA Administrator Confirms Nuclear Power and Propulsion Are The Game Changing Capabilities with advances as early as 2028. “We are going to do a nuclear power and propulsion demonstration in 2028, which is, again, it's paramount for someday being able to send astronauts to Mars and bring them home safely. “NASA needs to do what they’re (private industry) not capable of doing, which is moving into the realm of nuclear power and propulsion, more exotic forms of propulsion that enable you to move mass very efficiently to Mars and come back.” LA Times Media Group LA Times Studios

Jensen Huang predicts within a decade, companies will build their own small nuclear reactors to power AI factories. HUANG: "In the next six, seven years, I think you're going to see a whole bunch of small nuclear reactors. We'll all be power generators. ... it takes the burden off the grid, you could build as much as you need, and you can contribute back to the grid."

#OnThisDay in 1951, EBR-I became the first power plant in the world to produce electricity using atomic energy. It powered four 200-watt lightbulbs 💡💡💡💡 then lit the entire facility the next day, setting the stage for the nuclear power industry.

Wind turbines are getting bigger, more efficient, and are delivering higher output. That sounds impressive, but it isn't compared to other sources. A single nuclear plant, for example, produces around 1,750 megawatts. To match that, you need roughly 150 large turbines. Wind uses over 100X more land than nuclear for the same output. And turbines, of course, only produce power when the wind is blowing. Nuclear is constant. Then there's the storage requirements. To make wind reliable, you need batteries. At grid scale, that becomes impossible with current technologies. Wind power remains an expensive pipe dream, lining the pockets of a few at the expense of the many.

NASA is advancing nuclear power and propulsion in space to accomplish President Trump’s national space objectives. With SR-1 Freedom, launching in 2028, we will demonstrate nuclear electric propulsion and deliver SkyFall helicopters to Mars. In collaboration with U.S. Department of Energy, these capabilities are key to future missions to Mars and beyond. A new chapter of deep space exploration begins. 🚀

The government has run out of excuses for keeping nuclear power illegal. During this interview with Anthony Albanese the hosts press him on why nuclear power is banned… Albo: “no one is saying that - hey, we want to invest in this [nuclear]. No one.” Host: “There's a rule that says you can't.” Albo: “No, that's because it doesn’t stack up.” Host: “Why do you need a rule if the business case doesn’t stack up, to ban it?” Albo: “Because it doesn’t stack up” Host: “Well, get rid of the moratorium, then” The lack of clear answers goes to show that the government’s only justification for defending the bans on nuclear power is politics. It is wrong to conflate the economics of nuclear with a principled position to just consider nuclear power. At this time, we need all options on the table, including nuclear power.
