Die Sonne hängt tief am Rand der Wüste Gobi. Der Boden unter Dion Leonards Füßen verändert sich ständig. Sand, der plötzlich weich nachgibt; harte, scharfkantige Steinfelder; salzige Krusten, die unter Druck brechen. Dion ist ein Ultramarathonläufer, 250 Kilometer durch die zentralasiatische Wüste. Dion ist fest entschlossen, das Rennen zu gewinnen. Am Abend des ersten Tages kratzt Dion gerade den letzten Rest seiner Ration zusammen, da erblickt er etwas Ungewöhnliches. Ein kleiner Schatten huscht zwischen den erschöpfen Leuten, die neben Dion am Feuer sitzen, umher. Dion schaut genauer hin. Es ist kein Schatten. Es ist ein Hund! Gerade einmal vielleicht dreißig Zentimetern groß. Mit sandfarbenem Fell, großen dunklen Augen und einem kleinen Schnauzer. Der kleine Hund stellt sich auf die Hinterbeine und bettelt um Essen. Wer bitte, fragt sich Dion, dachte, es sei eine gute Idee, einen Hund mit hierherzubringen? Dion weiß in diesem Moment noch nicht, was er selbst alles für diesen Hund einmal auf sich nehmen wird.

Author and environmental advocate Miriam Horn brings the pioneering impact of wildlife conservationist George Schaller to life in her new book “Homesick for a World Unknown: The Life of George B. Schaller.” Since the 1950's, George, often along with his wife Kay (an anthropologist), pioneered the fieldwork of living peacefully amongst large, wild/free-living animals like snow leopards, gorillas, lions, tigers, jaguars, giant pandas, Tibetan antelope, Marco Polo sheep, and Gobi bears in remote habitats, that helped pave the way for humane conservationists like Jane Goodall and Dianne Fossey, recognizing animal agency and their "theory of mind." Schaller also created parks and preserves all around the world to save vital wilderness habitat. Why have most of us never heard of him?! It's important that the Schallers' legacy is intimately detailed through Miriam's wonderful storytelling to fully appreciate how they went to wild places few scientists had ventured, persevered in tough and often politically fraught conditions, trained a cadre of young local scientists around so many nations to protect their local wildlife, published scientific books and articles proving wild animals' vast capabilities and needs, and campaigned politically to get habitats protected.

Imaginez une dune de sable qui émet un son grave, continu, presque musical, comme un bourdonnement ou le vrombissement d'un moteur lointain. Ce phénomène, appelé « chant des dunes », est observé dans plusieurs régions du monde, notamment dans le Sahara ou dans le désert de Gobi. Et contrairement aux apparences, il ne s'agit ni d'un mystère ni d'un simple effet du vent : c'est un phénomène physique très précis.Tout commence avec la structure du sable. Pour que les dunes chantent, leurs grains doivent être relativement homogènes, souvent compris entre 0,1 et 0,5 millimètre de diamètre. Ils doivent aussi être très secs, propres et légèrement arrondis. Ces conditions sont essentielles, car elles permettent aux grains de glisser les uns sur les autres de manière régulière.Le son apparaît lors d'avalanches de sable. Lorsque la pente d'une dune devient instable — par exemple sous l'effet du vent ou du passage d'un randonneur — une couche superficielle de sable se met à s'écouler. Des milliers, voire des millions de grains entrent alors en mouvement simultanément.Ce qui est fascinant, c'est que ces grains ne bougent pas de manière chaotique. Ils se synchronisent. En glissant, ils entrent en collision et produisent de petites vibrations. Mais au lieu de s'annuler, ces vibrations s'alignent progressivement, un peu comme des musiciens qui se mettent au même rythme. Ce phénomène de synchronisation transforme un bruit désordonné en une onde sonore cohérente et amplifiée.La dune agit alors comme une caisse de résonance naturelle. Le son émis est généralement grave, avec des fréquences comprises entre 70 et 110 hertz. Il peut durer plusieurs secondes, parfois même plusieurs minutes, tant que l'avalanche se poursuit. Dans certains cas, le volume sonore peut atteindre 100 décibels, soit l'équivalent d'un marteau-piqueur.Ce mécanisme repose sur des principes proches de ceux étudiés en acoustique et en physique des milieux granulaires. La clé réside dans la cohérence du mouvement : si les grains ne sont pas suffisamment uniformes ou si le sable est humide, la synchronisation disparaît… et le silence revient.Le chant des dunes montre ainsi qu'un simple amas de sable peut se comporter comme un système organisé, capable de produire un signal sonore structuré. Un phénomène rare, exigeant, mais parfaitement explicable. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

A Cimeira Mundial da Energia Nuclear realizou-se em Paris na semana passada, reunindo chefes de Estado, responsáveis de organizações internacionais, instituições financeiras e líderes da indústria nuclear para discutir o papel da energia nuclear no futuro energético mundial. A reunião teve como principal objectivo reforçar a cooperação internacional e promover o desenvolvimento seguro e sustentável da energia nuclear civil, num momento em que a procura global de electricidade cresce e aumenta a pressão para reduzir as emissões de carbono. Pedro Sampaio Nunes, ex-secretário de Estado da Ciência e Inovação do governo português e antigo director de novas tecnologias de energia na Comissão Europeia, defende que a energia nuclear é a melhor solução e explica porquê. Por que motivo a energia nuclear volta a estar no cento do debate internacional? A energia nuclear está a voltar ao debate nacional porque sempre foi e continua a ser o tipo de energia que resolve os problemas com os quais a humanidade está confrontada. Por ser a energia mais densa, tem maior densidade energética, não sofre de intermitência e permite, de uma forma limpa, produzir energia fiável, disponível 24 horas por dia. Estes são os grandes trunfos da energia nuclear. Para lhe dar uma ideia, para produzir a mesma unidade de energia é necessário 20 vezes mais materiais e recursos físicos. Estamos a falar de betão, aço, cobre, vidro, de todos os tipos de materiais. Alguns deles até críticos e difíceis de obter, como as terras raras, que neste momento estão completamente controlados pela China. Com energia renovável, precisa-se de 20 vezes mais do que com energia nuclear. Por isso, em termos de densidade energética, esta tem um valor extraordinário. Com muito pouco combustível, consegue produzir muita energia, à medida das necessidades, e não à medida da meteorologia. O objectivo é, até 2050, atingir a neutralidade carbónica e responder à procura global de electricidade. Num contexto actual, a energia nuclear é a melhor solução? É a melhor solução. Sempre foi. No passado, a energia nuclear foi confrontada com uma campanha muito negativa. Primeiro, uma campanha intensa feita por razões geopolíticas, na altura da Guerra Fria, porque a União Soviética não queria que o Ocidente ganhasse independência através da energia nuclear, embora eles próprios a estivessem a desenvolver, criando uma campanha política contra a energia nuclear. Depois houve o acidente de Chernobyl, que também afectou gravemente a credibilidade e a percepção de segurança desta forma de energia. Houve ainda Three Mile Island e o acidente de Fukushima, mais recentemente, quando estávamos novamente numa época de renascimento nuclear. No entanto, todos estes acidentes tiveram pouquíssimas vítimas. Apenas Chernobyl registou vítimas mortais, número que é infinitamente inferior ao que ocorre todos os anos, por exemplo, na produção de energia eléctrica a partir do carvão ou de outras fontes fósseis. Mas também se sabe que, no processo de desmantelamento das centrais nucleares, todo aquele material demora anos até desaparecer… Isso acontece com qualquer actividade industrial perigosa. No caso da energia nuclear, de forma muito mais controlada, os resíduos estão monitorizados e o desmantelamento é obrigatório. Há actualmente desenvolvimentos muito interessantes em novas tecnologias, como os pequenos reactores modulares. Na cimeira falou-se do financiamento de novos projectos nucleares, incluindo os reactores tradicionais. Qual é a importância destes reactores? Os pequenos reactores modulares existem na frota dos porta-aviões, nos submarinos nucleares e nos quebra-gelos russos, e existem também adaptados para a produção de energia civil russo e existe um novo reator deste tipo na China, no deserto de Gobi. Estes reatores são extremamente promissores e julgo totalmente possível que, nos próximos anos, apareçam pequenos reactores a produzir energia eléctrica a um valor competitivo no mercado, cerca de 30 euros por MWh. Isso vai pôr em questão o investimento em energia eólica. Não fará já sentido económico substituir parques eólicos cuja substituição será mais cara do que esta solução. Além disso, os parques eólicos e centrais solares têm uma vida útil muito mais curta, cerca de 20 a 25 anos, enquanto uma central nuclear demora no mínimo 60 anos e pode durar até 100 anos. Mas os países estão preparados para este desafio? Uns estão mais preparados, outros menos, e há quem ignore o problema - é o caso de Portugal, que por enquanto não participa na Aliança Europeia dos Pequenos Reatores Modulares. Para mim, seria obrigatório estar presente, até para acompanhar o que está em desenvolvimento. A Europa não está a acompanhar o esforço desejado. Os Estados Unidos, até por razões militares, estão a investir nesta área, tal como a China e a Rússia. Para nos mantermos competitivos e atrair investimento na indústria, precisamos de uma base de energia muito competitiva. Hoje, os nossos custos são o dobro dos Estados Unidos e o triplo da China. Nesta competição, a França pode ser um exemplo? A França tem tentado investir nos pequenos reactores modulares com a New Board, mas sofre, como toda a Europa, de uma hiperregulação, com exigências desnecessárias que tornam a construção muito mais cara. É preciso fazer um esforço para simplificar estes processos, sem nunca pôr em causa a segurança, que deve ser sempre salvaguardada. Os Estados Unidos estão a simplificar o licenciamento de novas centrais para tornar o processo mais ágil. A inteligência artificial tem aumentado o interesse pela energia nuclear. Como se explica este fenómeno? A inteligência artificial requer enorme quantidade de energia para funcionar, com centros de dados que consomem tanto como países inteiros. Por isso, será indispensável utilizar energia nuclear, pois só esta combina densidade energética e fiabilidade, sem intermitência. Sem isso, estamos fora do mercado, como já aconteceu em várias indústrias que foram para a China, devido à nossa obsessão por liderar a transição climática com métodos inadequados, como a dependência excessiva das energias renováveis. Renováveis são um óptimo complemento, mas nunca podem ser o pilar; a base tem de ser nuclear. A China está a liderar todos os sectores críticos para a transição energética. A cimeira foi marcada por críticas, nomeadamente da Greenpeace, que contesta o nuclear e alerta para riscos de segurança e dependência de cadeias de abastecimento ligadas à Rússia. A urgência de atingir a neutralidade carbónica e responder à procura de eletricidade não pode sobrepor-se aos perigos da energia nuclear? Não. Pelo contrário, os maiores perigos estão associados à alternativa que a Greenpeace defende: energias voláteis, variáveis e incontroláveis. Isso é que constitui um grave risco ambiental. Para produzir a mesma unidade de energia, é necessário 20 vezes mais recursos, o que é insustentável ambientalmente. Além disso, é preciso armazenar energia em baterias ou barragens, duplicando o consumo de recursos. Por isso, os ambientalistas que rejeitam a energia nuclear acabam por ser os maiores inimigos do ambiente. Os verdadeiros aliados do ambiente são aqueles que defendem a energia nuclear, que é limpa, segura e competitiva.

Dragón divino en órbitaAvión espacial chino Shenlong inicia cuarta misión secreta en órbita baja terrestrePor Félix Riaño @LocutorCoChina lanzó el avión espacial reutilizable Shenlong a órbita baja en su cuarta misión experimental.China volvió a activar uno de sus proyectos más reservados en el espacio. El 6 de febrero de 2026 despegó desde el Centro de Lanzamiento de Satélites de Jiuquan, en el desierto del Gobi, el avión espacial Shenlong, cuyo nombre significa “Dragón Divino”. Es su cuarta misión orbital. Las anteriores comenzaron en septiembre de 2020, mayo de 2023 y septiembre de 2024. Duraron dos días, 276 días y 266 días respectivamente.Esta vez, las autoridades confirmaron el lanzamiento, pero no explicaron qué experimentos realiza en órbita baja terrestre, es decir, a unos 350 kilómetros de altura. Esa distancia es similar a la de la Estación Espacial Internacional. Sabemos que Shenlong es reutilizable y que puede permanecer meses alrededor de la Tierra. Pero la gran pregunta es sencilla: ¿qué está haciendo realmente allá arriba?Avanza en silencio y genera preguntasShenlong viajó al espacio a bordo de un cohete Larga Marcha 2F. Este mismo tipo de cohete lanzó en 2011 el laboratorio Tiangong-1. El vehículo quedó en órbita baja terrestre y comenzó una misión cuyo tiempo total aún no ha sido revelado.En 2024, el observador austríaco Felix Schöfbänker captó imágenes del vehículo con un telescopio de 35 centímetros de diámetro. Las fotografías mostraban estructuras desplegadas que podrían ser paneles solares o antenas. Las estimaciones indican que Shenlong mide cerca de 10 metros de largo. Es un tamaño parecido al del avión espacial estadounidense X-37B, que mide 8,8 metros.Según explicó Space.com, el gobierno chino define la misión como una prueba de tecnologías reutilizables para facilitar viajes espaciales de ida y vuelta más económicos en el futuro.El punto que genera debate es otro. En sus tres misiones anteriores, Shenlong liberó uno o más objetos en órbita. Esto no se supo por comunicados oficiales, sino por el seguimiento del ejército de Estados Unidos, empresas privadas de vigilancia espacial y astrónomos aficionados.Algunos de esos objetos demostraron capacidad de transmisión. Otros mostraron propulsión independiente. Además, Shenlong realizó maniobras de acercamiento y acoplamiento con esos objetos. Estas acciones se conocen como operaciones de encuentro y proximidad, o RPO.Las RPO permiten acercarse a un satélite para inspeccionarlo, repararlo o retirarlo. También podrían utilizarse para interferir con equipos de otros países. Esa doble posibilidad genera inquietud.De acuerdo con la fundación Secure World Foundation, citada por Economic Times, este tipo de maniobras tiene aplicaciones civiles y estratégicas. El problema es que la falta de información alimenta sospechas.Por ahora, no hay evidencia pública de que Shenlong esté diseñado como arma directa. Su tamaño limita la carga útil. Su bahía interna es reducida, similar al espacio de carga de una camioneta. Además, cuando reingresa a la atmósfera lo hace planeando a unos 321 kilómetros por hora. Esa velocidad es muy inferior a la de un proyectil balístico.Expertos consideran más probable que China esté probando sistemas autónomos, gestión térmica para misiones largas, generación de energía en órbita y técnicas avanzadas de encuentro con satélites.El contexto global también influye. Estados Unidos mantiene activo su propio avión espacial, el X-37B, que ya acumula ocho misiones desde 2010. Ambos programas comparten discreción.Según explicó PrimeTimer, la competencia tecnológica en órbita es cada vez más intensa. Las capacidades de permanecer meses en el espacio y maniobrar con precisión se han convertido en habilidades muy valoradas.Más transparencia podría reducir tensiones. Cuando un país no explica sus objetivos, otros imaginan escenarios extremos.El concepto de avión espacial reutilizable busca reducir costos frente a los antiguos transbordadores espaciales, que requerían enormes equipos y presupuestos. Hoy los vehículos son más pequeños, automáticos y diseñados para múltiples vuelos.Shenlong ya demostró permanencias superiores a ocho meses. Eso implica avances en protección térmica, administración de energía y resistencia de materiales.Las operaciones RPO también están siendo desarrolladas por otras potencias. Con miles de satélites en órbita baja, la capacidad de maniobrar con precisión ayuda a evitar colisiones y gestionar basura espacial.Al mismo tiempo, el espacio se ha convertido en un escenario de competencia estratégica. China avanza en su programa lunar con planes de llevar astronautas antes de 2030. Estados Unidos impulsa el programa Artemis. En ese contexto, cada avance tecnológico es observado con atención.El reto será establecer reglas internacionales que mantengan el uso del espacio como un entorno seguro y estable.China lanzó el avión espacial Shenlong en su cuarta misión. Sabemos que prueba tecnología reutilizable y maniobras avanzadas en órbita. Lo que no sabemos es el detalle de sus experimentos. ¿Te genera tranquilidad o inquietud este nivel de reserva?

This journey will give you a lot," Jisoo said.Ko: 민서는 따뜻한 코트를 꽁꽁 여민 채, 앞을 바라보며 고개를 끄덕였다.En: Minseo nodded as she fastened her warm coat tightly and looked ahead.Ko: 그녀는 자신이 찾고 있는 답을 사막에서 찾을 수 있기를 바랐다.En: She hoped to find the answers she was seeking in the desert.Ko: 고비 사막은 거대하고 고요했다.En: The Gobi Desert was vast and serene.Ko: 사방으로 끝없이 펼쳐진 모래 언덕은 겨울 햇살 아래 길게 그림자를 드리웠다.En: Endless sand dunes stretched out in all directions, casting long shadows under the winter sun.Ko: 차가운 바람이 불어와 사람들의 얼굴을 얼얼하게 만들었다.En: The cold wind made their faces tingle.Ko: 가이드가 앞장서서 낙타를 이끌고 있었고, 두 친구는 그 뒤를 따랐다.En: The guide led the way, steering the camels, and the two friends followed behind.Ko: 그러나 여행은 쉽지 않았다.En: However, the journey was not easy.Ko: 갑자기 몰아닥친 모래폭풍이 그룹을 둘러쌌다.En: Suddenly, a sandstorm enveloped the group.Ko: 바람은 날카롭고 차가웠다.En: The wind was sharp and cold.Ko: 모든 것이 흐릿해졌고, 민서의 마음은 두려움으로 가득 찼다.En: Everything became blurry, and Minseo's heart filled with fear.Ko: 지수는 민서의 손을 꼭 잡았다.En: Jisoo held Minseo's hand tightly.Ko: "괜찮아, 너라면 할 수 있어," 그녀가 말했다.En: "It's okay, you can do this," she said.Ko: 모래폭풍 속, 가이드의 목소리가 들리지 않았다.En: Amid the sandstorm, the guide's voice could not be heard.Ko: 민서는 스스로 결정을 내려야 했다.En: Minseo had to make decisions on her own.Ko: 그녀는 주변을 살피며 바람을 막을 수 있는 지형을 찾았다.En: She looked around for terrain that could shield them from the wind.Ko: 민서는 지수를 이끌고 천천히 걸음을 옮겼다.En: Minseo slowly led Jisoo along.Ko: 손끝이 시리도록 차가웠지만, 그녀는 멈추지 않았다.En: Her fingertips were numb from the cold, but she didn't stop.Ko: 얼마 후, 그들은 조금 더 안전한 장소에 도착했다.En: After a while, they reached a slightly safer place.Ko: 민서는 마음속에서 조용히 뿌듯함과 안도감을 느꼈다.En: Minseo felt a quiet sense of pride and relief inside.Ko: 그녀는 모래폭풍 속에서도 스스로를 이끌어냈다는 사실에 놀라워했다.En: She was amazed that she had managed to guide herself through the sandstorm.Ko: 폭풍이 지나가고, 사막은 다시 평화로워졌다.En: As the storm passed, the desert returned to tranquility.Ko: 하늘은 다시 맑게 개었다.En: The sky cleared again.Ko: 민서는 깊게 숨을 들이마시며 깨달음을 얻었다.En: Breathing deeply, Minseo had an epiphany.Ko: 그녀에게는 앞으로 나아갈 힘이 있다는 것을 깨달았다.En: She realized she had the strength to move forward.Ko: 이 여행을 통해 민서는 자신감을 얻었고 앞으로의 방향에 대한 명확한 목표를 가지게 되었다.En: Through this journey, Minseo gained confidence and a clear goal for her future direction.Ko: 지수는 미소를 지으며 말했다. "새해를 이렇게 시작하다니, 좋은 징조 같아!"En: Jisoo smiled and said, "Starting the new year like this, it feels like a good omen!"Ko: 사원을 향하는 길은 여전히 멀었지만, 민서의 마음은 전에 없이 가벼웠다.En: Though the path to the temple was still long, Minseo felt lighter than ever.Ko: 모래폭풍 속에서 얻은 결심과 용기는 그녀의 마음속에 깊이 새겨졌다.En: The determination and courage she found in the sandstorm were etched deeply in her heart.Ko: 두 사람은 따뜻한 사원으로 향하며, 함께 나눌 새로운 모험을 기대했다.En: The two of them headed towards the warm temple, looking forward to new adventures they would share together.

This week we talk about radioactive waste, neutrons, and burn while breeding cycles.We also discuss dry casks, radioactive decay, and uranium.Recommended Book: Breakneck by Dan WangTranscriptRadioactive waste, often called nuclear waste, typically falls into one of three categories: low-level waste that contains a small amount of radioactivity that will last a very short time—this is stuff like clothes or tools or rags that have been contaminated—intermediate-level waste, which has been contaminated enough that it requires shielding, and high-level waste, which is very radioactive material that creates a bunch of heat because of all the radioactive decay, so it requires both shield and cooling.Some types of radioactive waste, particularly spent fuel of the kind used in nuclear power plants, can be reprocessed, which means separating it into other types of useful products, including another type of mixed nuclear fuel that can be used in lieu of uranium, though generally not economically unless uranium supplies are low. About a third of all spent nuclear fuel has already been reprocessed in some way.About 4% of even the recyclable stuff, though, doesn't have that kind of second-life purpose, and that, combined with the medium- and long-lived waste that is quite dangerous to have just sitting around, has to be stored somehow, shielded and maybe cooled, and in some cases for a very long time: some especially long-lived fission products have half-lives that stretch into the hundreds of thousands or millions of years, which means they will be radioactive deep into the future, many times longer than humans have existed as a species.According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, something like 490,000 metric tons of radioactive spent fuel is currently being stored, on a temporary basis, at hundreds of specialized sites around the world. The majority of this radioactive waste is stored in pools of spent fuel water, cooled in that water somewhere near the nuclear reactors where the waste originated. Other waste has been relocated into what're called dry casks, which are big, barrel-like containers made of several layers of steel, concrete, and other materials, which surround a canister that holds the waste, and the canister is itself surrounded by inert gas. These casks hold and cool waste using natural air convection, so they don't require any kind of external power or water sources, while other solutions, including storage in water, sometimes does—and often the fuel is initially stored in pools, and is then moved to casks for longer-term storage.Most of the radioactive waste produced today comes in the form of spend fuel from nuclear reactors, which are typically small ceramic pellets made of low-enriched uranium oxide. These pellets are stacked on top of each other and encased in metal, and that creates what's called a fuel rod.In the US, alone, about 2,000 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel is created each year, which is just shy of half an olympic sized swimming pool in terms of volume, and in many countries, the non-reuseable stuff is eventually buried, near the surface for the low- to intermediate-level waste, and deeper for high-level waste—deeper, in this context, meaning something like 200-1000 m, which is about 650-3300 feet, beneath the surface.The goal of such burying is to prevent potential leakage that might impact life on the surface, while also taking advantage of the inherent stability and cooler nature of underground spaces which are chosen for their isolation, natural barriers, and water impermeability, and which are also often reinforced with human-made supports and security, blocking everything off and protecting the surrounding area so nothing will access these spaces far into the future, and so that they won't be broken open by future glaciation or other large-scale impacts, either.What I'd like to talk about today is another potential use and way of dealing with this type of waste, and why a recent, related development in China is being heralded as such a big deal.—An experimental nuclear reactor was built in the Gobi Desert by the Chinese Academy of Sciences Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics, and back in 2023 the group achieved its first criticality, got started up, basically, and it has been generating heat through nuclear fission ever since.What that means is that the nuclear reactor did what a nuclear reactor is supposed to do. Most such reactors exist to generate heat, which then creates steam and spins turbines, which generates electricity.What's special about this reactor, though, is that it is a thorium molten salt reactor, which means it uses thorium instead of uranium as a fuel source, and the thorium is processed into uranium as part of the energy-making process, because thorium only contains trace amounts of fissile material, which isn't enough to get a power-generating, nuclear chain reaction going.This reactor was able to successfully perform what's called in-core thorium-to-uranium conversion, which allows the operators to use thorium as fuel, and have that thorium converted into uranium, which is sufficiently fissile to produce nuclear power, inside the core of the reactor. This is an incredibly fiddly process, and requires that the thorium-232 used as fuel absorb a neutron, which turns it into thorium-233. Thorium-233 then decays into protactinium-233, and that, in turn, decays into uranium-233—the fuel that powers the reactor.One innovation here is that this entire process happens inside the reactor, rather than occurring externally, which would require a bunch of supplementary infrastructure to handle fuel fabrication, increasing the amount of space and cost associated with the reactor.Those neutrons required to start the thorium conversion process are provided by small amounts of more fissile material, like enriched uranium-235 or plutonium-239, and the thorium is dissolved in a fluoride salt and becomes a molten mixture that allows it to absorb that necessary neutron, and go through that multi-step decay process, turning into uranium-233. That end-point uranium then releases energy through nuclear fission, and this initiates what's called a burn while breeding cycle, which means it goes on to produce its own neutrons moving forward, which obviates the need for those other, far more fissile materials that were used to start the chain reaction. All of which makes this process a lot more fuel efficient than other options, dramatically reduces the amount of radioactive waste produced, and allows reactors that use it to operate a lot longer without needing to refuel, which also extends a reactor's functional life.On that last point, many typical nuclear power plants built over the past handful of decades use pressurized water reactors which have to be periodically shut down so operators can replace spent fuel rods. This new method instead allows the fissile materials to continuously circulate, enabling on-the-fly refueling—so no shut-down, no interruption of operations necessary.This method also requires zero water, which could allow these reactors to be built in more and different locations, as conventional nuclear power plants have typically been built near large water sources, like oceans, because of their cooling needs.China initiated the program that led to the development of this experimental reactor back in 2011, in part because it has vast thorium reserves it wanted to tap in its pursuit of energy independence, and in part because this approach to nuclear energy should, in theory at least, allow plant operators to use existing, spent fuel rods as part of its process, which could be very economically interesting, as they could use the waste from their existing plants to help fuel these new plants, but also take such waste off other governments' hands, maybe even be paid for it, because those other governments would then no longer need to store the stuff, and China could use it as cheap fuel; win win.Thinking further along, though, maybe the real killer application of this technology is that it allows for the dispersion of nuclear energy without the risk of nuclear weapons proliferation. The plants are smaller, they have a passive safety system that disallows the sorts of disasters that we saw in Chernobyl and Three-Mile Island—that sort of thing just can't happen with this setup—and the fissile materials, aside from those starter materials used to get the initial cycle going, can't be used to make nuclear weapons.Right now, there's a fair amount of uranium on the market, but just like oil, that availability is cyclical and controlled by relatively few governments. In the future, that resource could become more scarce, and this reactor setup may become even more valuable as a result, because thorium is a lot cheaper and more abundant, and it's less tightly controlled because it's useless from a nuclear weapons standpoint.This is only the very first step on the way toward a potentially thorium-reactor dominated nuclear power industry, and the conversion rate on this experimental model was meager.That said, it is a big step in the right direction, and a solid proof-of-concept, showing that this type of reactor has promise and would probably work scaled-up, as well, and that means the 100MW demonstration reactor China is also building in the Gobi, hoping to prove the concept's full value by 2035, stands a pretty decent chance of having a good showing.Show Noteshttps://www.deepisolation.com/about-nuclear-waste/where-is-nuclear-waste-nowhttps://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/5-fast-facts-about-spent-nuclear-fuelhttps://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/3-advanced-reactor-systems-watch-2030https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/nuclear-fuel-cycle/nuclear-waste/radioactive-wastes-myths-and-realitieshttps://www.visualcapitalist.com/visualizing-all-the-nuclear-waste-in-the-world/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-level_radioactive_waste_managementhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_wastehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_reprocessinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_cask_storagehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_geological_repositoryhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/er.3854https://archive.is/DQpXMhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorium-based_nuclear_powerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorium_fuel_cycle This is a public episode.

As permafrost in Siberia continues to melt and the steppe in the Gobi turns to desert, people in Mongolia are faced with overlapping climate crises. Some nomadic herders describe climate change as the end of a world. They are quick to add that the world has ended before for Indigenous people in North Asia, as waves of colonialism have left the steppe with a complicated web of apocalypses. A Song for the Horses by K. G. Hutchins examines cases in which people respond to the pressures of climate change by drawing on cultural heritage to foster social resiliency. In this episode, K. G. joins me to discuss his research on the morin khuur, or “horse fiddle,” in Mongolia, and how Mongolians use the traditional instrument to express and envision human and more-than-human futures against the backdrop of anthropogenic climate change.

This week on the HappyCast, we have a special (very) late night episode and a small reunion of sorts that quickly becomes unhinged as we have Aaron Kubala of Speed Project and Moab 240 Pool Boy fame join to talk about his latest undertaking - The Ultra Gobi. Andrew and Aaron sip on some wine all throughout and try to stay on track to talk about this latest undertaking. This is a 400km race through the Gobi Desert in China that traverses the ancient Silk Road. Aaron was able to not only finish, but he ended up running a majority of the race with another 200 mile juggernaut, Jovica Spajic. We hear all about this experience and the formation of a friendship that will last the test of time.And in a twist development, Mika Thewes joins us to help stir the pot and create even more madness in this episode as we talk about all sorts of topics. For those who enjoy a well structured episode focused solely on trail running, this one may not be it. So join in on the chaotic, free-flowing nature of this episode as we learn more about Aaron's epic undertaking and, well, a lot of other stuff. There's sure to be something in this episode that will tug at the heart strings…or not.

Nature is not fixed, but ever changing. Some of the world's best known deserts were once fertile grasslands and forests, including the Sahara, the Mojave, the Kalahari, and Gobi deserts. Is it accurate to think of deserts as permanent? Ecosystem succession shows us that Nature can evolve from rock to forest as well as reverse itself back to dust or a barren state. According to National Geographic, drylands account for more than 40 percent of the world's terrestrial surface area. Human-caused desertification and soil erosion is changing the landscape of Earth, with Africa and Asia being particularly vulnerable; many in these regions rely on subsistence farming. Humans are accelerating the degradation of land through deforestation, urbanization, mining, monocrop industrial farming, and conventional ranching, however, turning land into desert is not a fixed or foregone conclusion. Our guest in this show recorded in 2023, Alejandro Carrillo, Managing Partner, Grasslands Regeneration Project for Las Damas Ranch, has been working to green the Chihuahuan desert in northern Mexico. Droughts, floods and erosion need not be permanent realities if we change the behaviors that are causing them. We have the power to align with and assist Nature in a process of evolution that benefits and sustains life. Las Damas, Alejandro Carrillo's 30,000-acre ranch, is one of the world's best known examples of what is possible on dry land, these arid and brittle environments that receive low rainfall. Due to rotational grazing and other strategies, like supporting the work of dung beetles and termites, native grasslands have proliferated. Thus, water infiltrates into more productive soil, wildlife and plant diversity thrive, encouraging a microclimate where rainfall increases. Resiliency is possible and Alejandro is here to share his remarkable, regenerative journey.

In the last ten years, he has been able to grow tremendous amounts of grasses, forbes, and legumes in a climate zone that receives only eight inches of rainfall, thanks to holistic, rational grazing management. This has benefited both his ranching endeavor and the life in general of all organisms below and above ground. He has also made rainfall more abundant by creating a microclimate for his ranch. Before joining his father's cattle ranch called Las Damas in 2004, Alejandro worked for several years in the software industry in the financial sector in various countries in the Americas and Europe.

The last song on Violencia's album Viviendo Tiempos Aún Mas Oscuros is called El Exito Es La Droga del Futuro – Success Is The Drug Of The Future. For me, the nerd, this is interesting as I've often thought about how the words we use can take on specific meanings – appropriated oftentimes – I literally heard one just now – “Joy Is Resistance” started and often used by black women is now being appropriated by a bunch of white women. And there are times, where other equally valid meanings are ignored or treated with less importance. Take the words El Exito or Success and today, the majority of society will think of success in terms of material achievements. Are you climbing the career ladder, what awards have you won, have you bought that new shiny kitchen, oooh, is that a new car on the drive, how many followers do you have, did you manage to get your blue Instagram tick? It appears that there is little place for success being equated with just, well, human things, like, I dunno, raising amazing children or pets, helping someone in need to cross the road, or showing some empathy for your fellow human beings. Of course, yes, forced ultra-capitalism does this to the world and, as Joe Strummer once said “It's time to take humanity back into the ring”.

Out in the sun-blasted dunes of the Gobi, where the wind cuts like a straight razor and the sand moves endlessly, there's a story on the hushed tongues of herdsmen and half-mad nomads. They call it the Mongolian Death Worm—a crimson nightmare that spits lightning, vomits acid, and burrows under your feet like Satan's own cattle prod. No one's ever caught one, but plenty claim they've felt it thrumming under the sand, waiting. And if you stick around long enough in that desert, with your brain baking in the sun, you'll start to wonder if the thing's even real… or if it's just the desert itself trying to kill you. Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for The Mongolian Death Worm!

Od pustinje Gobi do japanskih kampova i severnokorejskih puteva. U 324. epizodi podkasta Pojačalo, Ivan još jednom razgovara sa Snežanom Radojičić u trećem delu sage o njenim neverovatnim avanturama širom sveta. Ova epizoda vodi nas na izuzetno lično i uzbudljivo putovanje: od surove pustinje Gobi, gde je doživela svoj prvi (i poslednji) pokušaj pljačke, preko solo pedaliranja kroz Tajland, Vijetnam i Istočni Timor, pa sve do Japana – zemlje koja ju je osvojila gotovo nadrealnom čistoćom i tišinom. Snežana otvoreno priča o životu na točkovima, o kulturnim šokovima, o štednji koja nije beda, i o tome kako je u Kini završila u školi sa 72 đaka u razredu, borila se sa birokratijom i izbegla ozbiljne posledice zbog "pogrešne" boje kose. Tu su i fizički izazovi – poput diskus hernije i planinarenja kroz Kirgistan, ali i vrhunac putovanja: tura biciklom kroz Severnu Koreju, pod strogom kontrolom, u zemlji gde pasoš vidiš samo kad ulaziš i izlaziš. Iskreno, neuvijeno, uz obilje fascinantnih detalja i lucidnih opservacija, ova epizoda nudi uvid u život van granica komfora – ali i u snagu žene koja ne zna za granice.

Witnesses say it's armed with spikes, it spits venom, and if you get too close it can even take you down with an electric shock. It's known as the Mongolian Death Worm. If you've not heard of it, it's because no one to date has yet been able to photograph it. So does that mean it doesn't exist? Or is it just too fast to capture on film? (The Mongolian Death Worm) *** Mount Pentelicus near Athens, Greece, is where the marble was cut to build the Parthenon. But more recently it has a more sinister reputation – for being haunted. Particularly around a certain cave known as “Davelis Cave.” (The Penteli Cave Enigma) *** Do you have people in your lives that you can't stand? A co-worker perhaps, or a family member, or a grumpy neighbor. You may call them “toxic”, but there was a lady who was so noxious that people couldn't literally stand her. Her name was Gloria Ramirez. (The Toxic Woman) *** For six years, Fritz Haarmann used his position as a police informant to hide in plain sight while he carried out at least 24 grisly murders as the "Vampire of Hanover." He was also called by some “The Butcher of Hanover”. But neither nickname given to him by the public comes remotely close to describing how evil the man truly was, or how gruesome his crimes actually were.
