Nuclear energy.

@Babe:"Nations drawing down oil stocks at record pace: IEA".

This is common sense, when supply is block, soon drawing down of oil reserves become imperative.

When the oil reserves dry up - the countries will go dark.

@Babe:1. Hence developing our own domestic energy supply is imperative - like our Newater, desalination plant.

2. because without electricity, we cannot purified our water, cannot cook food, no internet, no TV, no fan, no aircon, cannot work - human soon cannot live.

[02/06, 7:02 pm] ☸️  Danny 心: @Babe:1 . Traditional nuclear reactor using nuclear fission is unsafe and not suitable for us.

However, there are other safer options:-

1. Nuclear fusion - safer

2. SMR

a. uranium pellets

b. thorium based molten salt - safer

c. gas cool nuclear reactor - safest.

This there are few safe options without the need to handle radioactive waste.

[02/06, 7:06 pm] ☸️  Danny 心: @Babe:c. Gas cool nuclear reactors are the safest because they are concealed in kernel with multi layer cladding - where fission occur within the kernel - produce heat to generate electricity.

@Babe:Gas cool nuclear reactor - no chances of meltdown, hence no chances of chain reaction that trigger radioactive radiation of mammoth proportion.

@Babe:1. The size of uranium pellets,

thorium - is only 20 cents size - but can produce tremendous amount of electricity.

2. Gas cool kernel nuclear fission - golf ball size and can generate decades and decades of electricity without the need to replace.

@Babe:SMR nuclear reactors can easily supply 70% to 90% of Singapore electricity energy needs - and even Hormuz straits continue to be blocked - Singapore will not run out of electricity.

[02/06, 7:23 pm] ☸️  Danny 心: @Babe:Chances of radioactive radiation or leakage virtually safeguarded due to multi layer cladding.

If the installation is hardened by natural means - deployment is failsafe to the population.

@Babe:For longer term on our energy sources:-

Need to ramp up self sufficient green sustainable energy:-

1. Solar panels 2.5%

2. Hydrogen gas (if commercially viable) 10%

3. Geothermal (if commercially viable) 5%

4. Biofuel, palm oil - shipping

5. SAF - airlines

6.. EV vehicles - cars, lorries.

7. Waste incineration 5%

-----

Total = meet approximately 22.5% energy needs.

Only

1. SMR nuclear reactors 70 - 90% - can fully supply Singapore electricity energy needs.

@Babe:Mr LKY remind Singaporeans to be self sufficient.

Energy like water - we need to be self sufficient.

Else we will be hang by our neck with existential threat.

Nuclear Reactors (safe SMR) will give us energy sovereignty and liberate us from existential threat.

====

@Babe:1. One SMR can produce 300MW of electricity.

2. Singapore need about 12GW in total.

3. A modular stack of SMR 4 modules can produce 1.2GW of electricity.

4. Hence we only need 10 SMR modular stacks x 4 - to meet our national electricity needs.

@bieberpang:Please give an answer to one question. After the nuclear plant is build. How do the government ensure the nuclear plant will have a 0 safety issue?

@Babe:1. Read through the comments, something come to mind.

2. Knife can kill, but knife can use to cut and prepare food, or use as tool.

Using knife do not guarantee 0 risk, but knife will still be used because we need to eat and survive.

3. Likewise, fire can destroy and kill alot of people and property.

But fire, can be used to cook food, boil water to survive.

Fire do not guarantee 0 risk, but we still need to use fire.

@Babe:1. Then can we mitigate nuclear risk to zero?

If cannot, can we ensure even if radiation leakage risk, it will not harm the population given our small size.

The answer is - yes, definitely!

2. Just like the fire and knife analogies.

“水能载舟，亦能覆舟".

@Babe: Eg. Gas cool nuclear reactor trigger nuclear fission within a kernel, a golf ball size encased with ceramic, carbon to generate heat.

Meltdown and chain reaction are contained which further reinforced by multiple layers of cladding - hence radioactive leak virtually impossible.

2. If gas cool nuclear reactor are further design to operate underground deep inside granite rocks without fissure or treated with substances to seal up fissures, radioactive radiation leakage will not be able to affect population via air or sea or ground.

3. Also if honeycomb design or silo underground design are adopted - leak reactor can be isolated and sealed without affecting the population.

4. This has the same effect of the knife and fire analogies.

“水能载舟，亦能覆舟".

核能发电 可用也!

Nuclear energy can be used!

@Babe:1. Let us look at the world nuclear deployment.

2. There are so many nuclear reactors deployment throughout the world for energy.

3. Only 2 nuclear reactors experience leakage - Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear reactors. 

These are traditional nuclear reactors which have no passive safety shutdown to prevent massive meltdown that trigger chain reaction unlike SMR with inbuilt safety shutdown with no risk of meltdown and chain reaction.

4. Ukraine and UAE nuclear reactors under missiles and drone attack - yet no nuclear radioactive leakage because there are safety mechanism build in.

5. Military assets in superpowers and big powers use nuclear reactor submarine, aircraft carriers, naval destroyers etc - and yet no risk of radiation leakage.

"水能载舟，亦能覆舟".

SMR nuclear reactors deployment are much much much more safer - virtually 0 risk.

Scared what ???

@Babe:Let us extrapolate the hypothesis of 0 risk guarantee further to see whether it can stand water:-

1. LNG, fuel if ignited - can trigger explosion and fire. Not 0 risk - why are we still using it?

2. We drive car, but can get into accident. Not 0 risk - why are we still driving car?

3. We take air flight, but not 0 risk - why are we still flying?

4. Water give us life - but we can drown - not 0 risk, why are we keeping reservoirs?

5. We breathe in air and survive. But if we stop breathing the next minute - we cannot survive, it is not 0 risk.

6. Gun can kill, but soldiers still carry rifles to train and shoot. Police still carry it for patrol - it is not risk free.

So exploring the hypothesis of 0 risk in our mundane world - there is no 0 risk.

Human will cease to exit.

@Babe:1. US stealth bombers even use deep penetration bunker buster missiles to bomb Iran underground enrichment nuclear reactors that are used to enrich uranium for nuclear warheads.

2. The underground bunker collapse but yet no radioactive radiation leakage are detected.

3. Even direct bombing in underground nuclear reactors doesn't trigger radioactive radiation.

So scared what.....

Paranoid knows no bounds....

@Michael:can lah nuclear power plant but then we all have to move to live in penang

@3M55:cannot.. most likely all 'go' together and neighboring countries. good luck.

@Babe:Do you know that Malaysia has been operating a nuclear research reactor in Selangor for many years already?

All so scary cat.

====

@Babe:1. Do everyone know that Malaysia started a nuclear lab in Selangor in 1972?

2. The nuclear lab performs nuclear fission in Selangor.

3. As a result, Radioactive waste has been produced over the years.

4. Why no alarms are triggered for so many years?

@Babe:Singapore has built a nuclear research facility at the National University of Singapore (NUS). The Singapore Nuclear Research and Safety Institute (SNRSI) is located at Prince George's Park on the NUS campus, featuring specialized, radiation-proof underground laboratories for nuclear safety, radiobiology, and radiochemistry.

Singapore’s nuclear research laboratories do not perform live nuclear fission with radioactive fuels, as the country does not currently operate any nuclear reactors. Instead, local facilities focus on theoretical research, computer modeling, and safety assessments.

@Babe:Though Singapore has a nuclear lab, Singapore does not operate nuclear reactors for nuclear fission like Malaysia nuclear lab.

Local nuclear laboratories focus entirely on theoretical research, computer modeling, and safety evaluations of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) rather than actively splitting atoms in physical reactors.
