they retrofitted them all with extra security systems and made it so operators can't disable them while the reactor is working

Nesjavellir geothermal power plant.

I also get the hot water that keeps my home warm from there.

this one is the closest power plant

absolutely kino. there's geothermal systems around here but only for households and i'm not sure what exactly they're capable of doing.

Nuclear power causes more harm to the environment than we can tolerate. Green energy is the safest solution and on long sight the only feasible one.

Nice. Now witness Bruce, the largest NPP in the world, with 8 CANDU reactors.

>CANDU is proven technology!! P-please give us more funding.

Green energy is more harmful in construction

Texas
Wind Energy

In this state we get over 20 percent of our power from Wind. Ironically we get more power from Wind Energy than California and we are working on stealing there Solar energy crown. Another irony here is that since building a power plant is so deregulated here it’s a lot easier to build solar and wind energy plants here

Not happening big boy
We're really not slowing down with solar and we have 40 million Californians to provide power for.

We don't really need nuclear power when one of the biggest dams in the world gives almost 70% of the country's energy.
The rest is wind in the Northeast and nuclear power only really powers Rio.

The idea of corrupt and incompetent South Americans being trusted with nuclear energy is terrifying.

I assure you the majority of the engineers are white

Never underestimate a Texans ability to deregulate everything, partner. We WILL get your solar crown

Relax there's also a nuclear submarine on the way so we can pollute the seas ;)

Itaipú is "only" 15% of Brazil's energy and 90% of Paraguay's, Brazil has many dams.
Did we know that we have D A M S?

Atucha is still standing still ever since the 70s

ps we sold Yellow Cake to your masters, Israel, so you should be proud

Yes, it also worries me because I live near that plant. If it ever blows up I'm fucked.

Fun fact:
Itaupú drowned the largest waterfall in the world by volume.

>Atucha I was started in 1968 and began operation in 1974; it was the first nuclear power plant in Latin America. On 25 March 1973, before its completion, the plant was temporarily captured by the People's Revolutionary Army who stole a FMK-3 submachine gun and three .45 caliber handguns. When they retired they had a confrontation with the police, injuring two police officers.
wait what

Solar is the future. They keep finding ways of making the panels more efficient while at the same time cutting down on the resources that go into panels

60s and 70s Argentina was littered with small commie militias
iirc no fissile material was in that plant at the moment, but still

that's why people saying our '76 dictatorship was the US meddling are retarded and know jack shit about our history

Yes, but Itaipu could power the entire country, almost.
Only Northeast that needs wind since there are no rivers there.

based. I hate the fact that delusional retards kill our local plant

Well anyways it says siemens built it, so it should be safe

same here bro. where you at

Heavy water reactors aren't prone to exploding like LWRs, don't worry about it.

Yeah, our reactors are either Siemens or CANDU
there's a local company that produces smaller scale ones, mainly for research and medical applications, not certified for high power production

socal, rip san onofre plant

meant for

>Did we know that we have D A M S?
yes, it's great to find them in google earth

looks like a badly drawn hand in the thumbnail

but next year china will built the next one, so maybe we should be scare.

In my home case, it's nuclear reactor

i'm by the other ca plant closing down. RIP to the cleanest shit we got senpai

Wut?
I thought Argentina build their themselves?

being an antinuclear protester the ultimate delusion?
I cannot think or comprehend of anything more delusional than protesting nuclear energy . Honestly, think about it rationally. You are organizing, making signs and marching for at least a few hours solely so the clean futuristic energy can be replaced with a more primitive inferior form. All the hard work you put into your gay little protest. playing and writing protest songs, making faggy preachy "art" displays, making sure you get your coal lobbyist money playing on the lack of information about nuclear energy the public has. All of it has one simple result: all the energy that was generated by the nuclear power instead generated by burning co2 emitting fuels.

make the perfect protest? Great. Who benefits? If you're lucky, a random petrochemical or coal company who opens a coal, gas or oil burning plant in your community. He gets to burn his dirty fuel every night. He gets to spew lungs cancer causing smog
and benefits from the lack of nuclear power stations that came from the way you protested.
As a man who protested nuclear power you are LITERALLY dedicating at least a large amount of your time of simply to make profit for oil companies It is the ULTIMATE AND FINAL delusion Think about it logically

we built the last one ourselves. but our current goverment want to build a new bigger one. in a few days they will sign the contract with china.

Macri destroyed all our national industry, we only produce soy beans now.

not the reactors themselves, they're either commissioned or licensed
we just have all the ancilliary industries already, like heavy water production and fuel enrichment facilities, along with a pretty mature atomic commission providing professionals and oversight

that sucks, why latin countries keep making that mistake (lets do nothing but export one thing)
it screwed Central America in screwed Chile (copper) it screwed Venezuela (oil)

The ones here are Siemens too, maybe they're the same model even.
The Navy here is making one for themselves.

we never made the reactors, imbeciles
they were commissioned every time

Mexico's economy is pretty diverse. Electronics, cars, oil, agricultural products come to mind.

Our cunts should try making a Nuclear Itaipu.
I mean, someone must have thought of that in any of Mercosur meetings.

hydro rapes nuclear both in costs and flexibility
nuclear plants sound cool, but I'd rather the government not sped several billions on things just because "they sound cool and all the developed countries have them, there must be a reason"

Attached: Fig3.jpg (700x451, 44K)

there's no lack of costs analysis and feasibility reports out there, countries that rely on nuclear are usually cucked by nature so they don't have access to other forms of power generation, or because they have a lot of inertia and lobbies on their atomics industries back from the cold war

we held a referendum right after Chernobyl and completely dismissed our nuclear plants (they're still still maintained since you can't just dismantle them but they're no longer in use)
ANYWAY
we imported and import energy from France and Switzerland (France built nuclear plants near the border just to sell it to us, how cute) so it's not really correct to depict as "non-nuclear power dependant"
we're dependant on it AND we're dependant on our European neighbours

Well, it's power generated by nuclear, not consumed. Any chance of the plants being reactivated? The current """"""""""""""""""""""docudrama"""""""""" about chernobyl has some of my friends having mini meltdowns about living in the same planet as a nuclear plant and spewing bullshit but we're moving forward with funding a couple new plants under the table.

>mfw there is endless geothermal potential at Yellowstone but it's protected

AND ORDER

No, we aren't going to reactivate any nuclear plants; we lost that opportunity and now nuclear is not "cool" any more.
Today we are "technically" independent since we could produce at least 105 GW while the maximum internal demand is no more than 60. We produce it with thermoelectric, hydroelectric, solar, wind, geothermal. Wind power is a cancer in the most depressed regions of the south and it was a mistake possibly led by mafia, other plants are shut down at night since it's more convenient to import energy from France, Switzerland and Sl*venia 'cause you know, nuclear plants can't be shut off and it's more economically viable to satisfy our energy requirements at night importing from our neighbours rather than keeping our thermoelectric and geothermal plants working 24/7.
The referendum was a mistake. It's OBVIOUS that if you ask the people what do they think about nuclear power right after the radioactive clouds, the people say it's shit. "Not in my lawn": populism in its essence. Referendum are quite overrated in a modern representative democracy

True dat.
I remember that Argentina had a submarine nuclear program.

Shit can explode and kill everyone.
It's Chernobyl but it won't be only europe to get fucked with.
