Nuclear Energy

This is a channel where, this Illinois professor talks about nuclear energy. I like watching his channel if something new happens in this sector. Anyways, the self explanatory title of the video made me post it here. Maybe someone will find it interesting.

Things that he is saying are not ground braking and probably known, but wanted to share it non the less.

China on track to become world's largest nuclear power producer

China has approved plans to build 10 nuclear reactors at a cost of 200 billion yuan ($27.7 billion), putting it on track to overtake the United States in nuclear power capacity and become the world's largest by 2030.

Lol. Quadruple nuclear by 2025. Typical Trump hyperbole. Wake me up when the US can build a reactor in less than a decade.

Looks like China has started commercial production of yttrium-90. Don't know much about this except it seems pretty new and very few produce it

Is this just their 1st batch of Yttrium90? Remembered seeing this article before...

Vietnam could have had those nuclear reactors already operational by now but they stopped the project over a decade ago. Now they want to restart it.

It won't be ready by 2031 when they haven't even cleared the site for construction. Heck, did they even pick a site yet?

Consultations with local authorities have to happen. A site needs to be selected, soil samples need to be taken, the site project needs to be designed. The site needs to be cleared then concrete will be poured to build the base. All of this takes years and only afterwards will nuclear power plant construction start proper.

The US government has also already started blocking dollar transactions for Rosatom. They blocked Rosatom's $2 billion USD payments to contractors at Akkuyu NPP in Turkey slowing down project construction. I.e. they stole $2 billion USD from Rosatom.
