Mention “nuclear power” and attention almost immediately turns to safety. Despite huge advances in nuclear technology in recent decades, everyone still thinks about the accidents that occurred at older reactors like Chernobyl , Three Mile Island or Fukushima. Dozens of countries don’t even have – or don’t want – nuclear power.

Forty-five years ago on March 28, 1979, Pennsylvanians woke up to a much different world -- the accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Dauphin County. commercial nuclear power industry. The cooling down process, however, took a month and the radioactive plant would take years to decontaminate.

Even casual followers of energy and climate issues have probably heard about the alleged wonders of small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs). SMRs are distinct from today’s conventional nuclear plants, which are typically around 1,000 megawatts and were largely custom-built.

In France, May was unusually warm, and that could limit operations at some of its nuclear power facilities. Most inland facilities cool their power-generating equipment with river water. In recent years, several heat waves in France have affected nuclear power generation, forcing plants to cut back or shut down.

This means redoubling efforts to cut emissions, and reliably constrain temperature rises, not gambling on speculative technological interventions to cool the planet. Or low-carbon energy from renewable energy systems rather than nuclear power, with its needs for cooling water.
