Australia Goes Nuclear

It’s an historic time for nuclear capabilities in Australia.

Nuclear power remains banned under two federal laws, but it’s an industry with a lot of industrial potential.

Among 60 recommendations in a NSW Productivity Commission white paper was lifting a ban on nuclear electricity generation for small modular reactors (SMRs.)

Is it too late for Australia to go nuclear when nuclear fusion is coming that doesn't require uranium for fission? https://www.ideaspies.com/posts/an-endless-supply-of-carbon-free-energy

Magnetic Attraction: Microplastics

A Kyushu University study (2021) estimated there were 24.4 trillion pieces of microplastics in the world's upper oceans or roughly 30 billion 500-ml plastic water bottles. Microplastics are tiny, toxic and very hard to remove from the environment. But researchers in the US have discovered that some Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) can attract and bind microplastics, making it easier to remove them from the environment. And the N in NADES is key - natural - in this instance, think extracts from plants. https://www.research.uky.edu/news/researchers-develop-eco-friendly-magnet-battle-microplastics
