newatlas.com Molten salt nuclear reactor in Wyoming hits key milestoneSince founding TerraPower in 2008, Bill Gates has had his eye on developing a safe, efficient, and clean next-gen nuclear plant. That project, called Natrium, has already broken ground in Wyoming and has just leaped over a critical hurdle.

earth.org Nuclear & the Rest: Which Is the Safest Energy Source?Nuclear energy has its risks, but is energy denuclearisation sensible policy, or is it simply rooted in unmerited alarmism?
This article is a few years old, but I just found it and I think it offers a well written, helpful perspective. For example, it turns out that hydroelectric power has a much worse safety record than nuclear. I never thought about that, but it makes sense. Yet, one is more acceptable than the other somehow.

Solar project to destroy thousands of Joshua trees in the Mojave Desert
https://ca.news.yahoo.com/solar-project-destroy-thousands-joshua-100000768.htmlIt's crazy to me that a destructive photovoltaic solar project like this one is considered reasonable, but a new nuclear power plant within or adjacent to a city is beyond the pale.

Just build a replacement nuclear power plant and reuse the water. Right?

Nuclear @sh.itjust.works itchy_lizard @feddit.it Iran opens space for possible nuclear deal
responsiblestatecraft.org Iran's Supreme Leader opens space for possible nuclear dealSince Ayatollah Khamenei holds the final authority in all foreign policy matters, his diplomatic language here provides crucial insights.
On June 11, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei delivered a significant speech to a group of scientists, experts, and officials in Iran’s nuclear industry. He praised their achievements and cautiously approved the possibility of a deal with the West regarding Tehran’s nuclear program but also emphasized the importance of preserving Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.
Given that the Supreme Leader holds the final authority in all foreign policy matters, his diplomatic language provides crucial insights into Iran’s negotiating stance and carries serious implications for the future of nuclear negotiations and U.S.-Iran relations.
The speech comes at a critical juncture for Iran’s nuclear program and its relations with Washington and its Western allies. The indirect talks between the U.S. and Iran have been stalled since September, with both sides accusing the other of making unreasonable demands.
