Chernobyl: Kuleba, potential radioactive leaks within 48 hours; International Atomic Energy Agency denies it
1:43 p.m. "Within 48 hours there could be radioactive leaks" as a result of the damage caused to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, which is at a standstill." This was stated by Kiev's foreign minister Dmitry Kuleba on Twitter.
"The backup diesel generators have a capacity of 48 hours to power Chernobyl. Subsequently, the cooling systems of the nuclear fuel storage plant will stop, making radiation leaks imminent. Putin's barbaric war endangers the whole of Europe. It must stop immediately!" writes Kuleba.
At 2:29 p.m., IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi said that "developments at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant," which was disconnected from the power line after the Russians took control, "violate the fundamental safety pillar of ensuring uninterrupted power supply."
The International Atomic Energy Agency, however, assured that it "does not see any serious impact on safety". "The IAEA affirms that the thermal load of the spent fuel storage pool and the volume of cooling water at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant are sufficient for effective heat removal without the need for power supply," it said in a statement.

Chernobyl power plant captured by Russian forces -Ukrainian official | Reuters
The Chernobyl nuclear power plant has been captured by Russian forces, an adviser to the Ukrainian presidential office, Mykhailo Podolyak, said on Thursday.
A clued-up friend tells me that the prevailing winds during Europe's winter are from that direction. Putin would be insane to blow it up. Let's hope he's only holding it as part of a mutually-assured-destruction threat.

British actor
Heh .. until now, i didn't recognize, that Jared Harris not only portrayed Anderson Dawes in #Expanse exceptionally well... but he is also the actor of the following equally well portrayed roles:
David Robert Jones - in Fringe
Valery Legasov - in Chernobyl - and
Hari Seldon - in Foundation --> Foundation TV Series
I have to say .. he portrayed every role very very good....

First of: no fan of cancer.
In both cases: Fission and Fusion the user is dealing with cancer causing nuclear (gamma and neutron) radiation.
The advantage of Fusion over Fission is: no need for colonial style of war efforts in Africa (Mali) to secure uranium deposits.
The dissadvantage of Fusion: it is a mammoth of a project too grant to be tackled by one nation alone (China got close, but is still +50 Million C (122 Million F) short of it’s +170 Million C (338 Million F) goal.
In the face of climate change, France is betting everything on nuclear (France in 2021 has 50x!!! nuclear reactors! only second to USA) and right now, CO2 wise it comes on top of Germany that just switched off another 3 nuclear power plants.
Problem:
- since Fukushima, inssurance costs for nuclear power plants have risen dramatically making it actually not pay off without gov subsidies
- nuclear power was subsidized in Germany from 1950 until 2010 with 304 Billion € (5 Billion € per year)
That is 4,3Cent per 1kWh
China confident that they can do it “in 10 years”, maybe in 20, maybe in 30.
“For example, Chinese state media report that a temperature of at least 70 million degrees Celsius could be maintained in the experimental reactor for 17 minutes. This represents an important breakthrough. Because, obviously, the physical difficulties have been overcome. The duration of the heat formation thus depends only on the question of how much energy you put into it. If you like, the researchers are still about 50 million degrees away from their goal. When this will be achieved, it is again difficult to say. The Chinese media are quite optimistic and name a period of ten years”

According to Robert Seinhaus (LLNL) a relatively $50.000 cheap combination-energy device of “first stage” 3% fission (with uranium) and 97% fusion (no uranium but maybe also expensive materials) was already successfully tested. (molten salt cooling is his favorite way of cooling, which might make it interesting to be operated in the desert? (far away from cities and in no need for rivers to cool it?)
