Quelques dizaines de manifestants pour réclamer le maintien du #nucléaire
▻https://www.rtbf.be/info/societe/detail_quelques-dizaines-de-manifestants-pour-reclamer-le-maintien-du-nucleaire

Manifester en faveur de l’énergie nucléaire est plutôt rare chez nous. Ce dimanche matin pourtant, une soixantaine de personnes se sont rassemblées devant la gare centrale à Bruxelles. Elles répondaient à l’appel de la #Nuclear_Pride_Coalition, un collectif pro nucléaire international, représentée en #Belgique par le Groupement #100TWh, qui entend défendre cette énergie souvent contestée en raison de ses déchets. Pour les participants, le nucléaire serait moins polluant, moins cher et plus facilement disponible que d’autres combustibles non renouvelables. A l’heure où le réchauffement climatique suscite de grandes inquiétudes, il ne faudrait donc pas l’écarter trop vite.

#bitcoin Is The Most Durable Currency For A Nuclear War

The Doomsday Clock is only two minutes away from Atomic Midnight, indicating the world is critically close to the threshold of nuclear war. At least 15,000 nuclear warheads are distributed across the world, with more than 2,000 deployed and ready for launch. It would take just one nuclear bomb being detonated by a terrorist or rogue general to initiate a worldwide nuclear apocalypse that could wipe out most life on planet Earth.Since the first nuclear weapons obliterated Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, the world has been in a state of peace driven by nuclear deterrence, but it is a tense peace that could end at any time.If the unthinkable happens, Bitcoin would be a highly durable currency during nuclear war, as compared to fiat currency, which would fail for multiple reasons.In a (...)

New Release - #Energy #Transitions in the #Gulf: Key Questions on #Nuclear Power - Book Edited by Ali Ahmad
▻http://aub.bmetrack.com/c/v?e=C42219&c=33CE3&t=0&l=1181D762&email=SPojvuYjb%2FC2RIrz0o8eBqgp9yWU

Despite being among the world’s top oil producers, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the Gulf’s largest economies, have ambitious plans to invest in nuclear power. As the interest in nuclear energy in the region grows, the need to better understand the underlying economic and security issues becomes a necessity.

In our new edited volume, “Energy Transitions in the Gulf: Key Questions on Nuclear Power” we examine the challenges and opportunities of nuclear power deployment in the Gulf and the wider Middle East region. The book is a result of a workshop held as part of the 2016 Gulf Research Meeting at the University of Cambridge, UK, under the auspices of the Gulf Research Center.

Accordingly, U.S. war planners and weapons manufacturers have set out to make that arsenal more “usable” in order to give the president additional nuclear “options” on any future battlefield.

How US nuclear force modernization is undermining strategic stability
▻https://thebulletin.org/how-us-nuclear-force-modernization-undermining-strategic-stability-burs

TL;DR: With no increase in number of warheads, modernization provides USA with credible first strike capability. In response to that, adversaries are pushed to pre-delegate launch authority to lower levels. Add USA’s displays of overconfidence in BMD to that if you are not worried enough yet !

Issu de la banlieue du Mans, le groupe Nuclear Device (1982-1989) a participé à la naissance et l’essor de ce que les médias appelleront le « rock alternatif ». Aux côtés des Bérurier noir et Ludwig von 88, il parcourt une France en ébullition, enchaînant les concerts survoltés de squats en MJC. Pionnier français d’une fusion rock, latino et reggae, Nuclear Device laisse derrière lui plusieurs albums et de singuliers parcours de vie. Au-delà de l’histoire du groupe et de ses membres, 45 révolutions par minute dresse le portrait d’une époque où la fureur de vivre décuplait l’inventivité de la jeunesse, prouvant au passage que tout ne se passait pas forcément à Paris. Accompagné d’un CD compilant 20 titres marquants, ce livre atypique est une incitation à créer ses propres porte-voix !

Westinghouse: Origins and Effects of the Downfall of a Nuclear Giant - World Nuclear Industry Status Report
▻https://www.worldnuclearreport.org/Westinghouse-Origins-and-Effects-of-the-Downfall-of-a-Nuclear-Gi

what led to this bankruptcy were two bets that Westinghouse and Toshiba made. The first bet was that there will be a growing and large market for nuclear power plants. When Toshiba acquired Westinghouse from British Nuclear Fuels Ltd. (BNFL) in February 2006, the press release confidently projected: “By 2020, the global market for nuclear power generation is expected to grow by 50 percent compared with today”. At that time, the President and CEO of Toshiba estimated that there would be 10 large (1 GW) nuclear reactors built each year till 2020 amounting to 130 GW of new reactor capacity. That estimate was off by at least an order of magnitude. Much of the hype around that time was over what many saw as a coming #nuclear_renaissance

(...) In 2013, for example, a former Vice-President of CNNC and Vice-Minister of Atomic Energy complained to South China Morning Post: “Our state leaders have put a high priority on [nuclear safety] but companies executing projects do not seem to have the same level of understanding”.

Putin: claims that Russia could perform a nuclear attack on Baltics are madness
Russian President Vladimir Putin called claims that Russia could engage NATO in an armed conflict and use nuclear arms against neighbouring countries, including Baltic States, delusional.

«I think all sober-minded people who really are involved in politics understand that the idea of a Russian threat to, for example, the Baltics is complete madness,» – Putin said in an interview to Bloomberg.

«Are we really about to fight NATO? How many people live in NATO countries? About 600 million, correct? There are 146 million in Russia. Yes, we’re the biggest nuclear power. But do you really think that we’re about to conquer the Baltics using nuclear weapons? What is this madness?» – said the Russian President.

Tchernobyl : 30 ans (émission du 13 mai 2015)

L’émission « Offensive Sonore » est diffusée un vendredi sur deux sur Radio Libertaire de 21h à 22h30 (89,4 Mhz) en alternance avec « Les amis d’Orwel »

Le 26 avril 1986, un incendie à la central de Tchernobyl. C’était il y a 30 ans le nuage radioactif « inoffensif » était repoussé subtilement par la propagande d’État. Depuis la ville Pripyat est abandonné, les victimes et autres liquidateurs oubliés. Et même après Fukushima (au moins en France) rien n’a changé et on continue de construire d’autres centrales. Voici trois document sonores : 1) L’interview du Collectif Contre l’Atome (Radio Nuit Debout Avril dernier), 2) un reportage d’Arte Radio sur Tchernobyl en France : » En avril-mai 86, le nuage radioactif de Tchernobyl survole la France. Aucune mesure ne protège la population. 20 ans plus tard, des malades de la thyroïde portaient plainte. Echos et témoignages de la première catastrophe nucléaire civile, toujours mystérieuse. » 3) Et enfin une rediffusion d’une partie d’une entrevue de 2014 avec Zesin Topçu, où l’on évoque les études et « retour d’experience » ou comment les nucléocrates préparent déjà l’après-catastrophe.

Areva perd le contrat du retraitement des #déchets_nucléaires britanniques

Le gouvernement britannique a annoncé, mardi 13 janvier, qu’il reprenait le contrôle direct de Sellafield, le plus grand site européen de déchets nucléaires. Nuclear Management Partners (NMP), le consortium qui en avait la responsabilité jusqu’à présent, constitué du français #Areva, du britannique Amec et de l’américain URS, perd son contrat. Ce nouveau rebondissement, dans un dossier qui traine depuis des décennies, vient symboliser l’extrême complexité du démantèlement de ce site nucléaire, prévu officiellement pour durer encore un siècle.
