The UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband and US Deputy Secretary of Energy David Turk have today (Monday 18 November) signed a new agreement while in Baku for climate talks that will help pool together billions of pounds worth of nuclear research and development…
The UK will take a leading role in the forum, which aims to support information-sharing on advanced nuclear technologies and make them available for use in industry by 2030.

The moves are towards fueling localized industrial plants and server farms. The upkeep per GWH will be much higher. This does not scale up as much as the larger older reactors when it comes to upkeep. The notion that having universal parts will lower the costs is not honest. Lowering costs is not in anyone’s interests except us. Us comes last. We pay what we are told. It is called what the market can bear.
Either way per GWH or whatever it is call the costs won’t come down. The inflation rate for nuclear energy remains.
We need a deflationary energy policy. Like China’s.
I know China mixes that in with nuclear. Their mistake. China is not great at things.
Well, there is that but this move is more focused on decarbonization. Remember this from COP28 last year?
