What are the main challenges and risks of nuclear waste management and disposal?
Most people ignore that long radioactive decay means less radioactivity, while short half-life means very high radioactivity. This makes it a lot easier to handle radioactive waste than other toxic substances, as storing it for a while reduces the danger. The high-level waste is vitrified, which means it won't dilute in water, unlike the toxic waste coming from solar or wind landfilled junk which passes to the groundwater, ending in food, our bodies, and our children's. Radiation sources are actually like a fireplace on a freezing cold night. If you get too close, you receive too much heat and you get injured, but if you get too far, you will get injured too by the lack of it. (https://lnkd.in/gfeU9dN2).

What are the main challenges and risks of nuclear waste management and disposal?
The waste should be a chief selling point for nuclear energy, particularly for those who care about the environment: There’s not very much of it, it’s easily contained, it becomes safer with time and it can be recycled. Note the current nuclear waste can be reprocessed in Candu, breeder, or molten salt reactors. It is stored simply because, at this time, it is more economical. And, France has been recycling it for decades. Radiation of fully spent fuel goes down below safe levels found naturally in many places on Earth after 150-300 years. To put this into perspective, the heavy metals used in solar panels and chemicals in turbine blades remain chemically toxic to the environment and our health until the end of time, a lot more.

A global transformation for good reasons is underway catalyzing innovation at tremendous speed and scale! “A new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) recently argued these hordes of batteries will play a critical role in determining whether or not ambitious climate goals established by international experts are ever met. Recent innovations in lithium-ion battery tech have significantly lowered their costs which in turn is helping make switches to renewable energy power sources more viable for communities around the world. Battery prices by 2030, the report notes, could fall by 40%. At the same time, increased demand for battery powered electric vehicles and energy produced from renewable sources means battery tech will need to get even cheaper in only a few short years in order to meet rising demands. All of this, according to IEA estimates, will require a six-fold increase in energy storage capacity by 2030. Cheap batteries will need to get even cheaper. “

What's missing from this Defense Innovation Board recommendations report on Data? This is a comprehensive report and set of recommendations from the DIB on improving data access and quality across the department. Would highly encourage you to read. One other recommendation I would recommend adding is a CONTRACTUAL REQUIREMENT TO PROVIDE SUB-TIER SUPPLIER INFORMATION, STARTING WITH TIER 1, to enable better monitoring of supply chain risks and ultimately improve supply chain resilience. Getting this information after a contract has been set up is quite difficult for many reasons including lack of incentives for a contractor to provide it. At a minimum, Tier 1 information is something that contractors have at their fingertips as they know who their next tier suppliers are. Information beyond that into next Tiers is more difficult and requires them to reach out to their next tier of suppliers. It can be done through solutions like Resilinc as we have seen at DLA and other agencies. But it takes time and effort. Recommendation: Add a requirement, for contracts of certain size and above, to provide Tier 1 supply chain data, based on part #s, products, service offerings being delivered.

Meet Mjölnir, named after Thor’s hammer! For those who missed the Space News article, New Frontier Aerospace (NFA) has begun hot fire testing their Mjölnir rocket engine. It wasn’t the first testing, but prior tests were for critical components: the liquid oxygen and natural gas (methane) turbopumps. Hot firing begins the test campaign to qualify the fully assembled engine for a key design goal: namely, demonstrating the reliability and safety features of jet engines. Designed for versatility, Mjölnir aims to enable routine endo-atmospheric hypersonic flight and efficient high delta-v propulsion in space. When paired with an appropriate airframe, it enables routine cost-effective hypersonic testing and when scaled up offers 70% greater range than projected ram/scram-powered aircraft. For space applications, a larger nozzle will provide extreme efficiency for orbital transfer and maneuvers throughout cislunar space. The tests themselves were ignition tests, less than a second long barely spinning up the turbines. But what they demonstrated was the ability to ignite the gas-gas propellants with the reliability and safety of your gas range (or if you prefer your light switch). Yes, a lot more NFA testing is needed to fully validate their goals, but every journey begins with a first step. More steps are coming including steady state operation of Mjölnir, incorporation in an orbital maneuver vehicle testbed, and flight test in an uncrewed aircraft.
