TRANSMUTEX

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)."

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.

Thank you Inpho Venture Summit for the opportunity to showcase Transmutex vision. Congratulations to Lydia Bertholet for an excellent presentation that represented perfectly the team spirit.

Congratulations to our very own Lydia Bertholet for winning the pitch competition at Inpho Venture Summit. Presenting a complex deep tech project in 3 minutes is a great challenge. Lydia did an amazing job using clear terms and engaging delivery. Thank you Géraldine Andrieux Gustin for the invitation to INPHO and your focus on deep tech for climate change. Thank you Dr. Isabelle Tovena-Pecault for the post and the beautiful photos.

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."

🚀 Exploring the Future of Clean Energy with Transmutex 🔋 In our latest episode of The Smart Society Show, co-hosted by Rt Hon Chris Skidmore and Brynne Kennedy, for our Chasing Unicorns segment, we had the pleasure of talking with Franklin Servan-Schreiber, Co-founder & CEO of TRANSMUTEX. This Geneva-based nuclear energy scale-up is doing something truly revolutionary – redefining the future of nuclear energy by tackling one of its most pressing challenges: nuclear waste. Franklin highlights how CERN, PSI Paul Scherrer Institut, and Switzerland’s thriving innovation landscape have played an important role in Transmutex’s groundbreaking advancements in clean energy. 🌍💡 💥 Redefining Nuclear Energy: Franklin and his team are using a unique process to destroy nuclear waste while generating energy, turning a major challenge into an opportunity. 🔄 The Thorium Fuel Cycle: Transmutex is pioneering the shift from traditional uranium to thorium, a safer, more efficient option for the future of nuclear power. ⚡ AI’s Energy Demands: With the rise of AI and the need for 24/7 baseload energy, Franklin explains why nuclear is the indispensable foundation for the future of data centers and beyond.
