Bill Gates Is Bringing ‘The Most Advanced Nuclear Facility In The World’ To A Small City With Only 2,000 People

LLAW’s NUCLEAR ISSUES & COMMENTS, Sunday, (09/01/2024)

I hope you are enjoying a peaceful and quiet three-day weekend! A couple days off has been comforting for my tired old mind and body. But I will pretend Monday is a work-day and restart the engines again because so much can happen in the “nuclear” world in 3 days, meaning that a tomorrow is nothing at all close to today, yesterday, or the day before in this world’s run-amok age of “All Things Nuclear” . . . ~llaw

TODAY’S NUCLEAR WORLD’S NEWS for Sunday, (09/01/2024) is listed below for your perusal to the best articles of the day . . .

There are a couple articles in Today’s stories that are interesting to me that you might be interested in as well. In my case they are both of a very personal interest: One because of my old Wyoming home where I was born and raised and the other where I live now, (just 12 miles from the California border in Nevada) and 300 miles downwind from Diablo Canyon, California’s last operating nuclear power plant owned by PG&E that was supposed to be shut down forever next year, but has been given a 5 year extension by the federal government’s Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

Here are the links to the two stories:

A potential first-time operating nuclear power plant with an experimental cooling system in Wyoming, partially underwritten by philanthropist Bill Gates:

and, California needs nuclear energy in a time of climate crisis.

The links are also available in the world news nuclear media roundup below . . .
