SONE Nuclear Glossary
A glossary of terms used in nuclear energy and nuclear physics.

Really hope that Trump talking about nuclear energy tonight doesn’t polarize folks against it. He sucks. But clean energy is good. And almost everything he is doing was started by democrats under Biden.

In 2021, environmentalists decried a provision in CEJA that saved nuclear plants in Illinois as a “bailout”.
Turns out, it is *ratepayers* who have been bailed out to the tune of $1.3 Billion.
When the contract for difference expires in 2027, people will revolt.

Ursula von der Leyen is absolutely correct and nuclear energy should be recognized for its production of clean, dispatchable electricity. We should be looking for nuclear energy to achieve higher fuel utilization and industrial-level heat production.

Australia's nuclear ban is now 27 years old, but what's the reason for it?
If the ban was about safety, why make an amendment for AUKUS?
It's about nuclear not stacking up, lift the ban and prove it.
Senators Hume & Canavan both have bills to lift the bans. Let's see where our leaders stand.
