We've talked about Thorcon's MSR in Indonesia being what will most likely be the first commercial molten salt reactor to come to market and how China is pushing full steam ahead into building MSRs. But what is going on in the world of molten salt reactors/nuclear energy in the West?    Enter Terrestrial Energy. A Canadian nuclear startup looking to build an integral molten salt reactor, or IMSR, and have it hit the market by 2028. It uses uranium tetrafluoride as fuel and would be a single fluid burner reactor.    In addition, Canada is funding GE Hitachi's BWRX-300 SMR, which has agreements with utility companies in the U.S., Poland, Estonia, and the Czech Republic to explore commercial deployment.    #terrestrialenergy #nuclearenergy #moltensaltreactor #cleanenergy  Rock Logic now has merch!!

This week on Rock Logic, Sean theorizes what would happen in a doomsday scenario if humanity needed to abandon planet Earth. Would we colonize Mars? Have free-floating space colonies? Are those our only options?   But what about Venus? Is colonizing Venus possible? Sean says yes, and explains why it's the best option.   #venus #mars #spacecolony #spacecolonization #podcast --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rock-logic/support

This week on Rock Logic, Sun Cable is planning on building the largest solar farm in the world in Australia and shipping said Solar Energy over 4,000km away to Singapore. Is this the best use of Singapore's resources, or is there a better way? Meanwhile, nearby Indonesia and Thorcon power have chosen a location for their molten salt reactor on the island of Paulu Gelesa near Bangka.

Today on Rock Logic with Sean Kenny, Sean discusses Helion Energy's nuclear fusion reactor, Helium 3 as a nuclear fuel, and using both the moon and other planets as a source of nuclear energy as is discussed in Robert Zubrin's The Case for Space.

Cryptocurrency is all the rage right now and seemingly appears in every headline. But what is the environmental impact of crypto such as bitcoin, ethereum, and dogecoin? And can nuclear, or more specifically the molten salt reactor, mitigate this impact? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rock-logic/support

In 2020 nuclear energy created more zero-carbon energy across the world than any other source, beating out wind, solar, and hydroelectric. While the United States is retiring more nuclear plants than it's building, China is building nuclear power plants at a breakneck speed.    In most situations, Sean Kenny is not a fan of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). But the speed with which they are building nuclear power plants is something to be commended. It's a very much-needed development, seeing as China is currently the number one polluter worldwide.   Not only are they building a number of PWRs (pressurized water reactors), they're also developing 4th gen nuclear reactors that will generate less waste.    The reason they're doing this is due to numerous environmental disasters over the past years. An estimated 30 million Chinese citizens have died due to breathing the polluted air and in some cities, the smog is so thick you can't tell what time of day it is. It's disappointing that it took hitting this point for action to be taken, but at least it is being taken.    Of course, China can only mobilize in this fashion because it is an authoritarian state that cares little for individual freedoms. We don't expect the United States to be able to mobilize on this scale and we certainly don't want it to do so at the cost of individual rights. But other countries have been able to transition to mostly nuclear (France namely), so we know it is possible to get there eventually.    For now, we commend China on rolling out these nuclear plants and cleaning up their skies.     #china #nuclearenergy #greenenergy #zerocarbon  Check out our community tab for channel updates:  https://www.youtube.com/c/RockLogicWithSeanKenny/community  ========================  Want an audio-only experience on the go?

Worldwide supply shortages are causing the global economy to fracture, thanks to Covid induced shipping delays. Computer chips and semiconductors used in electronics are the hardest hit. Tesla has had to halt production of their electric vehicles and Toyota said in January they only have enough chips for four months. Medical equipment, mobile phones, and military hardware have also been affected.    Intel, Qualcomm, AMD, and NVIDIA have contacted the Biden Administration for a solution, but is there one?
