Un combustible nucléaire, destiné aux futurs vaisseaux spatiaux, testé avec succès
Picture MUST credit: General Atomics A nuclear fuel that may one day power the spacecraft of the future has been successfully tested. The trial was designed to show the fuel can survive the harsh environment of a nuclear rocket reactor for deep space exploration, including human missions to Mars. Tests by the company behind it, General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems, were conducted in collaboration with US space agency NASA. Chemical-powered rocket engines that put the first satellite into space and man on the Moon have reached the theoretical limits of their capabilities. To go to the next level for space missions a Nuclear Thermal Propulsion system or nuclear rocket is needed. This is a system that replaces burning chemical fuel with a nuclear reactor that heats up a propellant. The reactor must operate at temperatures of up to 2,300 °Celsius with highly reactive superheated hydrogen gas t. Conventional nuclear fuel would have trouble standing up to that but the new fuel just tested has achieved that capability. General Atomics carried out several high-impact tests at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Centre in Huntsville, Alabama.

Sellafield nuclear site hacked by groups linked to Russia and China
Malware may still be present and potential effects have been covered up by staff, investigation reveals.
Some of Sellafield's most sensitive activities such as moving radioactive waste, monitoring for leaks and checking for fires may have been compromised.
The UK's most hazardous nuclear site, Sellafield, has been hacked into by cyber groups closely linked to Russia and China.
The astonishing disclosure and its potential effects have been consistently covered up by senior staff at the vast nuclear waste and decommissioning site, the investigation has found.
Sellafield, formerly known as Windscale, a multi-function nuclear site (primarily nuclear waste processing, storage and nuclear decommissioning). Nuclear power generation took place at Sellafield between 1956 and 2003. Seascale, Cumbria.

Germany at a crossroads: what a nuclear power station tells us about its energy dilemma
Neckarwestheim’s nuclear power station was granted a stay of execution amid Russian gas shortage. Some want it to stay while others can’t wait for it to go.
So far, so typical for a rural community in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. However, this settlement of 4,200 residents has one defining characteristic: it is located right next to one of Germany’s three remaining nuclear power stations.
The challenges facing this picturesque village illustrate how the energy crisis is affecting Europe’s largest economy, as Russia’s weaponisation of the gas supply has complicated Germany’s planned transition away from nuclear.
In more recent times, the village has flourished; its population has doubled over the four decades the power station has been there.
But this is coming to an end, and Neckarwestheim II is living on borrowed time, limiting the local authority’s largesse. Along with Germany’s two other remaining nuclear power stations, it was supposed to be turned off by the end of the year, undergoing the final stage of an 11-year phase-out process initiated by Angela Merkel’s government after the 2011 Fukushima disaster in Japan.
However, the urgent need to ensure winter energy supply as Russia throttled flows of gas into Europe led the federal government in Berlin to grant a stay of execution.

Neckarwestheim’s nuclear power station was granted a stay of execution amid Russian gas shortage. Some want it to stay while others can’t wait for it to go.
So far, so typical for a rural community in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. However, this settlement of 4,200 residents has one defining characteristic: it is located right next to one of Germany’s three remaining nuclear power stations.
The challenges facing this picturesque village illustrate how the energy crisis is affecting Europe’s largest economy, as Russia’s weaponisation of the gas supply has complicated Germany’s planned transition away from nuclear.
In more recent times, the village has flourished; its population has doubled over the four decades the power station has been there.
But this is coming to an end, and Neckarwestheim II is living on borrowed time, limiting the local authority’s largesse. Along with Germany’s two other remaining nuclear power stations, it was supposed to be turned off by the end of the year, undergoing the final stage of an 11-year phase-out process initiated by Angela Merkel’s government after the 2011 Fukushima disaster in Japan.
However, the urgent need to ensure winter energy supply as Russia throttled flows of gas into Europe led the federal government in Berlin to grant a stay of execution.
