Climate Action kenya [Podcast By Collins K Wafula]
We had a great time with Mr. Douglas Sandridge, an Oil & Gas Executive in the USA. His message came out strongly that everyone needs reliable energy therefore let us diversify the energy mix and not try to over-regulate it. Listen in the podcast to hear his thought on energy; nuclear energy; hydrogen, as well as climate change issues. He recommends two books for anyone wishing to bring in a great energy renaissance: The Price by David Yergin and Shorting the Grid by Meredith Angwin. Mr. Douglas Sandridge has supported this podcast by getting me some equipment over christmas! A good chrismas gift for all of us. It is good to support us in all ways because we have the social license to reach out through public engagement, educating our communities and through podcast interviews.

The episode walks you through the things that nuclear energy powers From the RTGs to Bitcoin Mining. BTC mining uses Mining Rigs which (one) consumes about 1 - 10 MW. But some miners have about 50,000 rigs. BTC consumes about 127 TWh per year of electricity and emits 25 - 50 M tons CO2 annually. But there is Advanced Nuclear Power which is promising for the future of mining and cryptocurrency.
Are there any present opportunities in the nuclear power industry? In this episode, we dive deep into the topic of "Opportunities In Nuclear". Nuclear power has been at the forefront of solving global issues for decades, and it continues to be an essential part of our energy mix. From powering our homes and businesses to moving us forward in space exploration, nuclear powers not only the past and present, but also the future. One exciting aspect of nuclear power is the opportunity it provides in the advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning. With the help of advanced technology, we are able to further improve the safety measures of nuclear power plants and Spent Fuel Management (SFM). To learn more about the endless opportunities that nuclear presents, tune in to this podcast now!
Hello!
The Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) will be buying 7.13 KES ($0.05704) per KWh [or less] from NuPEA for the SMR-160 with an estimated capacity factor of 80% for 40 years if the capital cost is 260 Billion KES ($2 Billion) and discounted to 320 Billion KES. If Kenya is truly using cheap electricity today, then it means nuclear power is way cheaper by 88% as compared to an IPP in Kenya; Triumph Power Generation Company Ltd selling 69 GWh to KPLC. The cost (6.26 KES/KWh) will also be at a 12.2% difference of the solar project in Garissa giving 82 GWh to the national grid. Nuclear Energy is good for business.
[ AD: I invested in Bitcoin Trading, I hope you'd join me too. ] Uranium Oxide Concentration (UOC) is processed into UF6 then enriched to the specifications that a nuclear power reactor needs. This is referred to as Enriched Uranium Product (EUP) - something that has been dominating the market since the 60's. The biggest consumer of U is the USA; from about 20,000 - 25,000 tU per year in the 1980s to 7,000 tU per year in recent years. Today's supply is about 56,000 tU and an astonishing 3.116 Million tons of Uranium since exploration began. The lowest price in the spot market was in 2003 at $9 and highest in 2018 at $137. Today, it is about $50 (ranges from $35 - $70). Listen to more of these in the podcast!
The Podcast is brought to you by "nuclear Waste". This is the best episode I guess. Listen and learn and help me learn too. Note: Am-241 is used in Fire alarms to detect fire.
Hey! Check out this new episode on nuclear accidents. Note: Henry Becquerel - Uranium as a natural radiation emitor. Wilhelm Rontgen - Discovered ionizing radiation. Also note: Neutrons bombard fissile materials to cause chain rxn.
In summary, I introduced the show with some little history of SDGs and MDGs. The body is resolutely speaking of the Stockholm & Rio Declaration, UN conferences and lastly the actual SDGs while focusing on Nuclear Energy. Here is a list of my mapped SDGs: [1] Poverty - 8/10 developed states have nuclear. [7] Energy - 11% of the global electricity is nuclear. [9] Industry, inno, infrastructure - Manufacturing, transport (electric trains etc) is supported by nuclear power. [8] Decent work - Green jobs, clean! [5] Gender Equality - Oh my! The girls have it. Women in Nuclear etc [10] Reduced inequality - SMR pie is economically friendly for G/south + marginalized G/North. [4] Education - Trainings on reactor Engineering plus more. Literacy on Science by programs like DoE nuclear program. [13] [14] [18] L. on Land & Water, Climate Action - This is clean energy; for the environment and the climate. [12] Responsible Pdn& Consumption - Before a nuclear power plant is installed, safety is first. The public is shielded from radiation. Also, radiation Agri. Crops. [2] [11] No hunger, Sust. Cities - Nuclear tech in agriculture helps fight food insecurity. Geiger counters measure radiation levels in building against naturally radioactive radon gas. [6] Clean water & Sanitation - Isotope hydrology [16] [17] Peace ✌️, justice & strong institutions + Partnerships - IAEA, milestone approaches + funding research programs, trainings in different countries. ITER. So, have a listen!
Series 1: Sociopolitics In Nuclear Episode 2: Nuclear Power In The Picture Of Global Issues. When the pleasure of life has been arbitrated, the dispute to progress rationed and much of the sayings reveried, then all we can say is, "let's act now". Global change can be solved with a simple technology and that is nuclear power and technology. Hey! Come, have a listen to this podcast. Collins In the last part, here is what I mean: 1 MWh serves 1,300 persons in Europe 1 GWh serves 1.3 million of them. But since an average consumption of 12KWh per day is recorded per person. Kenya being a low consumer of Electricity, consumes about 5 KWh/person per day or 0.2KWh per person per hour (0.208). Therefore, 5million or approximately 4.8 million people will consume 1GWh in 1 hour. Note: There is a place I have said, 100 instead of 1,000. In the previous episode, EMC^2, not an A (that's in Swahili). Will sure correct those errors next time!
Nuclear Series: Sociopolitics in Nuclear Episode: 1 Nuclear Energy is introduced in this episode together with its vistas in nuclear applications. But the best part is on the vantage points nuclear poses for the camera: the society. The magnificant technology with it's diverse designs make nations to prefer which one is used and by whose fingerprint. Well, this is just but an into to let you and your poingantly beatiful ears, your grace, to have a listen.
