> - The RBMK-1500 in the now decommissioned Ignalina Power Plant wasn't built near a big city, unlike the Belarusian power plant. Well, it was around 120 km from Vilnius, the new NPP is 60 km from Vilnius which is still sufficient.

Yeah, don’t bother with reading articles that exclude the largest source of clean energy in US. Such articles have an ideological bias.

Lithuania was operating an RBMK (Chernobyl-type) reactor just 140 km away from that new Generation III+ design and the majority of Lithuanians opposed the closure of the plant in Ignalina. And that reactor vessel was never used, it’s actual

Lithunia was operating a twin RBMK-1500 (Chernobyl-type) plant just 140 km from the site of the new Generation III+ VVER-1200 plant in Belarus which is magnitudes safer. The majority of Lithuanians opposed shutting down their own plant in I

And he somehow forgot the costs for any backup generation that is needed for volatile renewable energy.

by cbmuser 6y ago
It’s actually not expensive at all and fully paid by the energy companies. The costs are always inflated by the anti-nuclear movement, but when you talk to actual nuclear engineers you will learn that these costs have never been a problem.

Wind and solar heavily depend on the weather. They cannot therefore produce any sufficient amounts of electricity during a blizzard. And the blame doesn’t lie on natural gas but on the idea of shutting down baseload-capable sources like nuc

The blame doesn’t lie on the power grid but on the power sources. Texas has only four nuclear reactors, it should have many more as only nuclear is able to deliver power under virtually all weather conditions (yes, I know that South Texas 1

FWIW, an M68k backend for LLVM is on its way upstream (see reviews.llvm.org and search for "M68k").
