Nuclear has the reputation of being much more expensive than renewables or fossil fuels, but on the ground if you compare nuclear/France to renewables/Germany or fossil/Italy then it is clear nuclear is cheaper. "So far in 2024, France's wholesale power prices have averaged around 25% less than those of Germany and The Netherlands, and 45% less than Italy's, according to LSEG (see graphics below)."

Reinventing Nuclear Energy
Info
Transmutex is a pioneering company focused on reinventing nuclear energy from first principles. Their innovative approach addresses the core concerns of cost, safety, and proliferation associated with nuclear reactors. Transmutex's technology represents a significant advancement in carbon-free energy generation, aiming to create an entirely new sustainable and safe nuclear energy solution. We are capitalizing on research validated at CERN to conceive an entirely new approach using particle accelerators to induce transmutation and production of carbon-free nuclear energy. We have the ambition to accelerate the fight against climate change and reach industrial-scale within 10 years.

The European Union different funding sources are actively looking into #transmutation as a way to significantly reduce the nuclear long live waste stockpile while producing carbon free energy. Germany is also soon poised to look into Transmutation as a new safe source of carbon free energy, using a particle accelerator to keep the system sub-critical and able to stop in 2ms! #Bavaria's no. 2 Florian Herrmann, at the beginning of the weekly cabinet press conference, expressed support for #Transmutationreaktoren: “We see an opportunity in the transition from the third to the fourth generation of reactors, so-called transmutation reactors, which will or could be an alternative to conventional power plants. Of course, we want to be part of many other cutting-edge innovations. This means that we need to focus on the content, which we in Bavaria have been doing for quite some time, especially when it comes to nuclear fusion. But a legal framework is also needed, which is why the Atomic Energy Act needs to be amended at the federal level. YouTube : https://lnkd.in/eanYUyN4 ( exactly at min 3:54).

It is an immense pleasure to welcome in Geneva two great scientists from the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology (KIPT) in Ukraine. Dr. Volodymyr Baidulin and Dr. Oleksandr Zhukov came all the way from eastern Ukraine by train, bus and plane, to share with our team their experience of building the first Accelerator Driven Subcritical Assembly that was successfully commissioned , before being bombed repeatedly by the Russian military and s subsequently shut down. Ukraine regulatory authorities had defined a separate path for the safety review of subcritical systems such at the KIPT installation, which could be applied to larger systems such as Transmutex. Many lessons to be learned from our Ukrainian colleagues. To learn more about the KIPT subcritical system, conceived with Argonne National Laboratory and financed by the DOE (as an incentive to return their weapons grade nuclear bomb material since they had nothing to fear from Russia...),simply search KIPT ADS CERN CERN #science #nuclear #research Visit Ukraine

Amazing two days of high-level discussion organized by the World Economic Forum with CEOs and leaders in #energy technologies. This was a unique opportunity to share constructive propositions to accelerate the energy transition within the framework of market forces. Governments are essential, but innovations require the market. How to best implement public private partnerships ? Is the #China model or the #USA model the best, or a mix of both ? By everyone's conclusion, #Europe is lagging because heavy regulations are not a great accelerator. Thank you Jeremy Jurgens and Maciej Kolaczkowski for a simulating meeting. It was such a pleasure to attend. As a bonus, the new meeting space, #villaMundi, was gorgeously rehabilitated by the WEF. Wonderful job on this renovation.
China cost, US funding and EU stick In other words mandates, incentives and carbon pricing. Plus policy stability and predictability This is what`s needed to enable investment, jobs creation, AI revolution and lower healthcare costs that can be achieved through deployment of clean hydrogen, SAF, energy storage, carbon capture and nuclear Additional bonus? Eliminating emissions These are my key conclusions of the Advanced Energy Solutions CEO meeting that I had a pleasure to host at our HQ over last two days. The meeting involved industry, policy and thought leaders Thanks to everyone for this meaningful engagement Thanks for the support to the John Goddard Rebecca Birtles L.E.K. Consulting, our Knowledge Partner on this journey. Congrats to Francisco Betti, Debmalya Sen and Doug Arent for expert moderation. We look forward to working together!

Thank you Prof Marcel Salathé for taking the time to visit. It was truly a pleasure for the team to present our ambition and plan, including how we are implemting AI in our processes. Paraphrasing a top US nuclear scientist : "The real waste is to waste nuclear waste."
What if you could recycle nuclear waste and gain energy? What if you could do this with technology where a meltdown is impossible? Today, I had the enormous pleasure of visiting TRANSMUTEX in Geneva. Their technology cannot only do these two things, but even produces highly valuable radioisotopes that are used in medicine. And the kicker: the resulting waste lasts only for 100s of years, instead of 100s of thousands of years. Too good to be true? I wanted to go see the team and learn more. I am planning a longer writeup, but for now, let me say that I am very enthusiastic about this technology, and just amazed by the forward-looking, positive energy (no pun intended) of the team. These people are developing key parts of a carbon-free world, right here in Switzerland. Apart from their website: https://www.transmutex.com, I recommend these two articles to get a very rough overview: By NZZ- Startup promises to recycle nuclear waste into new energy: https://lnkd.in/eUA2UHNp By Nagra: https://lnkd.in/ePrCvbRc

Interview of our CEO in the Swiss leading paper Le Temps.
⚛️ Vive le nucléaire! Ce n'est pas moi qui le dis, mais Microsoft, Google et Amazon. En trois semaines, les trois géants de la tech ont brutalement décidé de miser des milliards sur le nucléaire pour alimenter leurs centres de données où tournent leurs solutions d'intelligence artificielle.. «Il est naturel que ces entreprises s’intéressent aux sources d’énergie en général, et au nucléaire en particulier, compte tenu des besoins énergétiques considérables de leurs centres de données, en particulier ceux liés aux algorithmes d’IA, très gourmands en électricité», analyse Anne-Marie Kermarrec, professeure en systèmes distribués à large échelle à l’EPFL. Pour Franklin Servan-Schreiber, directeur et fondateur de TRANSMUTEX, société genevoise visant à réduire massivement la durée d’entreposage des déchets nucléaires de longue durée, le choix de cette source d’énergie n’est pas une surprise: «Il n’y a pas, en vue, de solution de stockage qui puisse compenser à ce niveau l’instabilité des énergies renouvelables. Si vous souhaitez sortir des énergies fossiles tout en gardant une fourniture d’énergie stable et constante alors il n’y a que le nucléaire».
