New technology could reduce radioactivity in nuclear waste by up to 80%
  • Here's a more measured take on it, particularly the Update section - though it's written by the company creating the long-term waste repository in Switzerland so there's some obvious bias.

    It appears the modeling/simulation code Transmutex developed is heavily based on the open-source Geant4 toolkit.

  • ‘No quick wins’: China has the world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor
  • The linked PDF (page 14) has a few diagrams that can help infer vessel size, and the Wikipedia page for TSMR-LF1 also includes a decent floor plan and links to satellite images. Looks like a typical research reactor footprint, which means it may scale to be similar to existing LWRs at higher power. https://esfr-smart.eu/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/S53_1_Paul_Gauthe_Overview_MSR_Gauthe.pdf

    For reference, a typical PWR may be ~3000 MWth.

  • Hey it's free, so I'm not complaining
  • Been using racknerd to host my tiny stupid websites for a couple years, it's great value for money and a fantastic way to learn sysadmin stuff. I also appreciate that they give a lot of heads up for auto-renewal and don't escalate pricing on renewal.

  • Major IT outage affecting banks, airlines, media outlets across the world
  • This is going to be a Big Deal for a whole lot of people. I don't know all the companies and industries that use Crowdstrike but I might guess it will result in airline delays, banking outages, and hospital computer systems failing. Hopefully nobody gets hurt because of it.

  • Ebard rewe
  • Not my site, though I've bought from him before. The Corne PCBs are pretty popular and can be bought lots of places. I think the username is because he's active on reddit and answers tech support style questions there.

  • Security
  • IAEA patch is a nice touch! To lean into the nuclear theme I'd recommended a respirator around her neck, those disposable plastic boot covers, and a dosimeter flapping on a lanyard

  • Employed lemmings, how did you get hired?
  • Nuclear engineer. Went to school for dual degrees in Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering, got decent grades and had two relevant internships. Interviewed at a college job fair, had some follow-up interviews, and likely stood out because I was computer literate.
