#Ukraine #NuclearPowerPlants Forced to Reduce #Energy Due to #Russia Attacks

As Russian #missiles and #drones slam Ukrainian energy facilities, the distribution system is overly taxed, forcing #nuclear plants to reduce output.

Ukrainians could be left completely without electricity and heating: russia is planning strikes on substations of Ukrainian nuclear power plants — HUR 😔
In this way, russia wants to force Ukraine to sign capitulation terms to end the war 😢

Uranium is not used responsibly. It is used in munitions during war. When munitions explode, uranium is dispersed into dust that is carried by the wind or spreads into waterways. We are all polluted by wars, even those far away. It is used in agriculture to sterilize crops. Farmers are the first victims because they are the most exposed. In large silos, uranium is used to prevent wheat from rotting. Accidents always happen, dispersing the dust. It would be better to have small-scale, sustainable agriculture that can be managed without chemicals, even if it means using more labor. It is used to generate electricity in nuclear power plants, which produces waste that is buried under layers of concrete that will crack within fifty years. In addition, nuclear power plants are being used for longer than it has been made for or built in earthquake-prone areas, even at the risk of accidents. For example, Fukushima was built on a seismic fault line. In the 19th and 20th centuries, beauty products and orange paints for wallpaper were made with radioactive substances such as uranium, radium, and cesium. Scientists have proven that these substances are harmful. Medical imaging and space exploration seem to be the only areas where uranium is used reasonably. Nuclear deaths are not counted accurately because there is no way to link exposure to uranium with a disease that occurs fifty years later. There is no way to conduct epidemiological studies. But science is clear: exposure to uranium dust causes cancer and birth defects. Uranium dust lodges in the lungs and irradiates the rest of the body and the surrounding environment. With all the money spent on handling uranium (procedures, paperwork, construction of nuclear power plants, intermediaries, wars to maintain access to uranium, etc.), we could easily finance alternatives: non-radioactive metals for weapons, renewable energies, non-industrial agriculture.

China Approves Construction of 10 New Nuclear Power Plants China paves way for 10 new nuclear power units, boosting 56.9GW capacity with a ¥200 billion investment. Clean energy drive aims leadership by 2030.

China has green-lit the construction of 10 additional nuclear power units. This move will expand capacity at five existing sites and strengthen Beijing clean energy push.

Nuclear power is not a solution for the future. It does not resolve any issues: neither the independence of supply, nor the safety of the installations, nor the management of waste, nor the financial costs. We must therefore move away from it. It is an exciting technical and human horizon. Several studies (NegaWatt, Ademe, etc.) have shown that it is possible by 2050. All that is lacking is the political will. The program of La France insoumise proposes to implement the following measures: Adopt an energy transition plan with a dual focus on energy efficiency and the transition to renewable energy. Develop all renewable energy sources. Phase out carbon-based energy, starting with an end to subsidies for fossil fuels and a…
