Reading my comments I wrote earlier this year can recognize all the details of what you need to resume the work of the closed nuclear power plant and what you can actually see in Paris Sade.

In the latest virtual event series, colleagues James Temple, Melissa Hakekill, and David Rotman have defined the impact of AI on the climate. Subscribers have a chance to participate in the live broadcast from 12:30 pm on September 25 (East Now).

AI is considered to consume energy, but it is difficult to talk about the effect of this technology on emissions.

Three more things

For the MIT Technology Review Climate Change Team, this week was a tough week:

1. Countries, including Germany, Sweden, and New Zealand, will stop subsidies to electric vehicles. Some experts wrote about why this movement was afraid of visiting some countries very early.
2. The proposal for integrating the US power network of the cycle has the potential to be decisively freezed to purify the power system. This plan has a ful l-fledged boost in the name of hundreds of billions of dollars, and has the power to freeze the desirable victory for Michael Skerry in charge of electricity, and his colleague James Temple is a New Material. I talked.
3. Finally, a week was one week before the list of 15 companies that should be noted in 2024. Check out the bulletin on this list and watch it in the right week.

How to restart work at a nuclear power plant

Michigan's Palisades Power Plant may be the first closed nuclear plant to reopen.

Nuclear power is returning to the island of three emails.

This nuclear plant is usually associated with a very unique event. One of the reactors, Unit 2, had a partial meltdown in 1979, which remains the most significant nuclear accident in U. S. history. It has been closed since then.

But there is another reactor at the Pennsylvania site. Block No. 1, which has been producing steady, safe electricity for decades, has not yet been shut down in 2019. Last week, the site's owners announced plans to reopen the plant and signed a deal with Microsoft to acquire all of the plant's electricity for the next 20 years.

This news is interesting on many levels. It clearly highlights the importance of this property in the history of U. S. nuclear power. It will likely be one of the first reactors in the country to reopen after being closed. And Microsoft is buying all of the electricity from the reactor. What does this say about the future of the nuclear industry and the need for big tech in electricity?

Three Male's Unit 2 was operational in March 1979, just a few months before the disaster, while Unit 1 was shut down for refueling. Unfortunately, the reactor started up in the mid-1980s and provided enough electricity for hundreds of thousands of homes in the area for over 30 years.

Однако в концов станция столкнулась с экономическими трудностями. носительно высокую эффективность и низкие затраты, она была заменена компанией при низких ценах на газ и появлении в сети относительно дешевых, субсидируемых возобновляемых источников энергии, говорит Патрик Уайт, Nuclear Innovation Alliance.

According to White's writing, Obsting has only undergone certain changes over the past few years. Now, more funds are different to nuclear power, which covers fresh tax incentives regardless of the technology considered in the law to lower inflation. Apart from this, fears are growing at the prelude of increased demand for electricity by the energy system in quantities due to the technology giants trying to guarantee energy centers for data processing necessary for the artificial origin of the mind.

Announcing a deal with Microsoft, Constellation Energy, the owner of the first power unit of the Trill Milling nuclear power plant, also indicated that the station will receive a rebranding - it will be renamed the Middle of Non-Retirement Tap Energy. (There is no doubt that this name will stick).

The location of the special reactor combined with such a precedent means that, in effect, electricity will be used to power data processing centers (and other infrastructure objects), and concerns about this advertisement are rapidly growing. To quote from the headline, "AI Microsoft, for example, needs a lot of electricity, and in fact, it is using the space of the nuclear tragedy in the United States."

For some meteorologists, this conspiracy contains great importance. Nuclear energy remains one of the most expensive forms of electricity. But experts say that its role in the energy system may even be diminishing, since nuclear power plants usually produce a systematic amount of electricity - it is often called "constant power".

Without the promised funds, the reactor may even pass through as planned. Resuming work on a long-closed power plant could provide a chance to get the best of nuclear power without having to make a whole new plan.

In March, the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant in Michigan received more than $1. 5 billion in loan guarantees from the U. S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy to resume work. The Palisades nuclear plant stopped operating in 2022, but the owner says it plans to resume operations by the end of 2025. If the project goes ahead as planned, it will be the first closed nuclear reactor in the United States. (More details can be found in my note from earlier this year).

Three Mile Island has said it could be restarted in 2028. (Interestingly, the reactor only actually includes a permit for 2034, the specific number of years needed to leak the translicentic function in real time. A regular 20-year extension could guarantee its operation until 2054.)

If the 3-mail island restarts, Microsoft will supply about 800, 000 households per year under a lon g-term contract on power purchase. Only in this case, the company's data center infrastructure in the area can be ensured.

Early this year, Amazon purchased a data center site near Sasuke Hana nuclear power plants in Pennsylvania.

Amazon uses only the power of Sasuke Hana nuclear power plants, but Microsoft uses all the energy made on Three Mile Island. In connection with the data, the question is for the actual paid at this company. According to a sentence from Constellation's director Joe Dominges, which responded to an interview with the Washington Post, electricity rates do not cover the restart of power plants. He added to reach a special subsidy dumbbell from the state.

However, Dominges also explains that the protagonist who performs the plan is federal funding through posts. In particular, the law on a decrease in inflation takes into account tax incentives for those who have a nuclear power plant.

The company refused to explain the price of tax incentives and did not answer my comments, but I took out the calculator and calculated it personally. This is the 835 Megawatt station operating with 96, 3 % capacity (this constellation indicator calls the last year of the station), and imagining that the tax incentives are $ 15 in Megawatts. It has the potential to fit within 100 million yen.

It is noted how the willingness to restart will come out. Ayof's Duin Arnold Nuclear Power Station was closed in 2020 after operating for 45 years, but power plants have declared the possibility of restarting.

It has the ability to resume each data from the three power plants, or to freeze with the latest symptoms of the imminent resurrection of nuclear energy. Free technology companies need a large amount of energy, connecting a lon g-running nuclear power plant to the transmission network or maintaining a long power plant in other ways to reduce demand. It looks like a wonderful technique.

However, considering that the opportunity to gain energy from a closed power plant and slot power plants is unique, the biggest problem for this branch is that this is a new reactor. I think it will move to construction.
