From Russia without love: inside Putin’s grip on our nuclear power More than 2.5 million UK homes are powered by the Kremlin’s supply of nuclear fuel and western countries have found themselves trapped in long-term contracts

#Rosatom, which supplies uranium for #SizewellB "..is not just a #nuclear corporation. It is a Kremlin tool..sustaining Russia’s war machine" It's also been accused of complicity in the torture of employees at Ukraine's #Zaporizhzhia power plant.

Instead of investing in #BatteryStorageTechnology gormless #RachelInAccounts is squandering £11.5 Billion on #SizewellB where neither #EDF or #China were willing to tread, funding this outdated #WhiteElephant #NuclearPowerStation with the most expensive electricity generation.

7. OVERLAP BETWEEN NUCLEAR ENGINEERS IN THE POWER SECTOR AND THE MILITARY 7.1 There is overlap between nuclear engineers in the power sector and the military. According to an investigation carried out by Cogent in May 2006, there are 2500 Ministry of Defence roles associated with nuclear deterrent and 240 of those roles are specialist in operations and maintenance. It should be recognised the military is experienced in PWR technology which is used in submarine propulsion. This is the same technology used at Sizewell B, and is one of the options for new nuclear build. Quelle: https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200809/cmselect/cmdius/50/50iii.pdf

"Es sollte anerkannt werden, daß das Militär Erfahrung mit der #Druckwasserreaktor -Technologie hat, die für den Antrieb von #U-Booten verwendet wird. Dies ist die gleiche Technologie, die auch in #SizewellB zum Einsatz kommt und eine der Optionen für den Bau neuer #Atomkraftwerke ist."

Sizewell C is in the news. Here's my shot of the Sizewell B reactor dome. Some love the light and form, others not so much!

Sizewell B nuclear power plant back online after £75m project The Suffolk plant is back up and running after being powered down in October, EDF Energy says.

#SizewellB is the only realistic hope of #nuclear power on the grid in 2030 - a grid that #Labour has pledged to decarbonise. Only hope is to accelerate renewables and retrieve/redirect the scarce billions chucked at risky #SizewellC!
