New New Energy - LENR/Cold Fusion/"Free Energy", Fact vs FictionEd Beardsworth
Next Generation Energy - LENR/Cold Fusion/"Free Energy", Fact vs Fiction
The quest, the goal, the holy grail... a source of energy to power modern society which is cheap, clean and inexhaustible. We know a great deal about the sources we have, and why they aren't good enough. Fossil fuel, the sun, geothermal, nuclear, biomass, wind, oceans, etc. And mankind looks farther:
In the realm of "known" or "generally accepted" science, we look for breakthroughs, either to improve on existing sources, or to make practical concepts we know about but can't yet implement, i.e. fusion.
In the realm of "not accepted" science, a perhaps surprisingly large number of people are hard at work to uncover phenomena that are "known" to be impossible. They are scorned, dismissed, ignored and banished by mainstream science, and with a couple of notable exceptions (e.g. cold fusion), completely ignored by the popular and science press.

A quick survey: small modular reactors (SMR), alternate reactor concepts and fuel cycles.
Fusion
-- the mainstream programs with huge devices (ITER, NEF) unlikely to deliver, ever.
-- alternate approaches - smaller systems may have a chance--some are venture backed
-- aneutronic. uses different "fuels". much less radiation, but much harder to do (higher energy)
"Not Accepted Science"
•"Free Energy" • "Over unity" • "vacuum energy" • "Magnetic motors" Most of it can be dismissed, but perhaps not all. More than a few established and well trained scientists take these things quite seriously, in spite of career risks. Including, by the way, "cold fusion", aka LENR (low energy nuclear reactions).. What will we know in 50 years that we don't know now? Imagine someone describing a nuclear power plant in 1930)
Advanced nuclear reactors like small modular reactors and fast reactors are being developed that offer improvements over current light water reactors. Small modular reactors would be smaller in size (up to 300 MW) and could be deployed more quickly. Fast reactors operate at high neutron energies without a moderator and can potentially consume nuclear waste as fuel in a closed fuel cycle. However, small modular reactors may generate more radioactive waste volumes than large light water reactors. Advanced reactors will require solutions for managing their different types of nuclear waste that current disposal methods may not be compatible with.
Reprocessing and recycling nuclear waste has several benefits: it reduces the volume of waste, extends the safe storage time of waste from millions of years to hundreds of years, and extracts usable material from the waste to generate additional energy. While reprocessing can produce weapons-grade plutonium, newer proliferation-resistant methods like pyroprocessing are being developed. The document recommends funding research into cost-effective reprocessing methods and beginning construction of a reprocessing facility within the next 10 years along with a mixed-oxide fuel fabrication plant and pebble bed fast neutron reactor to fully realize the benefits of reprocessing nuclear waste.
The Current Status And Future Of Nuclear Power CJoe Miller
As of 2004, nuclear power provided 6.5% of the world's energy and 15.7% of the world's electricity, with the U.S., France, and Japan accounting for 57% of nuclear generated electricity. There are currently 439 nuclear power reactors operating in 31 countries. The U.S. reactor fleet is dominated by two reactor types: pressurized water reactors and boiling water reactors. Several advanced nuclear reactor designs are currently under review by the NRC, including the AP1000, ESBWR, US-APWR, and EPR. Factors both positively and negatively influence prospects for constructing new nuclear plants in the U.S.

Paper presented at the conference Detail Design in Architecture 8 at University of Wales Institute Cardiff, on the 4th September 2009.
Authors: Gavin D. J. Harper & Ross Gazey
Transatomic Power (TAP) is developing an advanced molten salt reactor that generates clean, passively safe, proliferation-resistant, and low-cost nuclear power. This reactor can consume the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) generated by commercial light water reactors or use freshly mined uranium at enrichment levels as low as 1.8% U-235. It achieves actinide burnups as high as 96%, and can generate up to 75 times more electricity per ton of mined uranium than a light-water reactor.

Integrating renewable energy technologies to reduce large ship fule consumpti...cahouser
This document analyzes renewable technology options to decrease fuel consumption on large ships. A simulation was conducted to evaluate the potential energy savings from rigid wing sails and solar panels on a 100m passenger ship. The simulation found that wind power from two 500m^2 rigid wing sails could provide an 18% reduction in annual fuel consumption. While solar panels provided minimal benefits due to intermittency, optimizing sail technologies and route selection may further reduce fuel usage and emissions. Energy storage provided only a 2% additional efficiency gain for load leveling applications.
Nuclear batteries are devices that generate electricity from radioactive isotopes without using a chain reaction. They provide a long-lasting, compact power source as an alternative to chemical batteries that require frequent replacement. The document traces the historical development of nuclear batteries from their conception in 1950 and discusses different types including thermal and non-thermal converters. It covers considerations for radioactive fuels, advantages like longevity and efficiency, disadvantages like cost, and applications such as in pacemakers. In summary, the document provides an overview of nuclear batteries, their working principles, development over time, and potential uses as a long-life power source.
The document discusses ARC Nuclear's development of the ARC-100 small modular nuclear reactor. The ARC-100 is a 50-100 MWe sodium-cooled fast reactor based on the design of the EBR-II, which operated successfully for 30 years. It aims to address the cost and schedule challenges of large commercial reactors through its small size, passive safety features, and ability to reuse nuclear waste as fuel.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Uses large emergency water reservoir above the steel containment vessel that’s held back by valves. If cooling is lost these valves are designed to open and pour the reservoirs contents around the outside of the vessel. Convection allows for cooling and will generate steam which will condense on the roof of the containment structure. This proccess is designed to cool the reactor for up to 3 days, at which time diesel generators will need to be brought to supply power to pumps to pump water into the vessel. Currently being built in China and Georgia
Time 0: complete loss of power with a failed emergency diesel startTime 1-6 hours: cooling of containment vessel is done by natural convection of air circulation around the steel containment vesselTime ~6 hrs. automatic pressure sensors of the containment vessel hit trip setpoint and automatically open air operated valves that allow water from the passive containment cooling water tank to slowly flow over the containment vessel to cool it, air convection continues to help cool the containment vessel.>72 hours: if power still not restored, operators can refill the Passive containment cooling water storage tank from a designated ancillary tank using a backup diesel generator to power a pump.The ancillary tank can support this operation for up to 7 days then outside sources of water need to be used.
Thorium is much more common than Uranium and doesn’t generate weapons grade material after being used which can alleviate fears of proliferation.
Great idea for supplemental power for larger nuclear or for natural gas based localized power grids.
