Constellation Energy's restart of TMI (Three Mile Island) to power Microsoft data centres.
Revising nuclear regulatory framework to help facilitate new builds and advances in technology.
Closing the fuel cycle: France's approach to recycling. USA's past abandoned pursuit of fuel recycling. Technological options for improved recycling options which might be better suited to USA.
Separated Work Units (SWU) and how Megatons To Megawatts inadvertently led to the western world's dependence on Russian (and Russian affiliated) enrichment of uranium.
USA Gov's inability to take ownership of used nuclear fuel ("nuclear waste"), and the court decision that utilities no longer need to pay the gov to deal with nuclear waste, since the gov is incapable of dealing with the nuclear waste.

I have not yet read it.

Great talk, I always love to hear Kirk talk

[@mrvaticanrag3946]

Yes - after following Kirk these last 15 years - we love you Kirk.♡♡

[@mrvaticanrag3946]

At 27:00 Love Kirk Sorensen's justified "eyes-rolling" and his reply emphasising his preference for "Walk-away safe, low cost, "high temperature near ambient pressure" TMSR's; and the disappointing trend of a pursuit of high pressure "light water" SMR no safer than last century's LW Reactors..

Captain KIRK !!

[@The_Fubar]

My morning brain could not understand why Captain Jack Sparrow, Captain Kirk and Dan Brown are talkong about nuclear reactors

[@SteveNeighbor]

The crazy volume on this supercut was so distracting I just watched the original.

[@MichaelGrnne]

What's going on with the sound level?! Quite annoying.

[@gordonmcdowell]

Michael, the original video is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iILGfKahfslnj5Y ...I'm trying to boost and level it and this is the best I can do. DaVinci Resolve Studio. If you want to recommend a stack of filters to semi-automate the levels, I'll try that next project. As it is, there's a fair bit of manual tweaking of levels thru-out this video... it seems like something that should be completely automatable but I can't get non-distracting results.

[@MichaelGrnne]

@@gordonmcdowell I'll try a second time to post (linking in YT now allowed?). Thanks for the original. Not to sound rude, but the sound level there is better. I have not seen the complete video through, but it was better in the parts I saw. I don't know Davinci resolve studio. May I suggest you ask here r/davinciresolve/

@@gordonmcdowell Honestly, I prefer the original recording. Better a uniformly quieter dialogue, than one that goes up and down in volume constantly.

[@gordonmcdowell]

@@adamdanilowicz4252 Ok, thanks Adam. Good to know.

[@SteveNeighbor]

Me Three - The 'pumping' is incredibly annoying to listen to. BTW- The youTube player's built-in Stable Volume filter deals with the original perfectly. It does not work at all on the problems you created.

[@chapter4travels]

The NRC is receptive to the Advance Act??????????? Where did you get that? They already said they would not comply with the most important aspect of the Act. They said they would not consider the positive aspects of nuclear only the negative, only safety and safety at any cost.
