In this episode we have Ryan MacLeod, also known as NuclearBitcoinr on Twitter, for a discussion about the intersection between #Bitcoin and nuclear energy! Ryan is an advocate for bitcoin mining with nuclear power. Upon understanding how mining works, he assembled the team that won the North American Young Generation in Nuclear's Innovation 4 Nuclear idea competition. It is his belief that mining has the capability to resolve many economic liabilities associated with nuclear power and unleash its full potential.

FRIENDS AND ENEMIES This week Len sat down with friend of the show Ryan Macleod to discuss all things energy, mining and what's new and exciting in the nuclear space. There is a fit for this cutting edge energy tech for sure, and Bitcoin will find it. Thanks to Ryan for his time, his handle is in the show title - he's a must follow on Twitter! Take care! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/canadian-bitcoiners/message
On today's show we discuss Nuclear power, Bitcoin mining, and the energy crisis. GUEST OVERVIEW: In early 2021 Ryan MacLeod began to take an deep interest in both Small Modular Reactor and Bitcoin mining. He soon understood that these two technologies were a perfect match for each other. Ryan began to promote the idea integrating bitcoin mining into nuclear power assets mostly on Twitter at first. Then in September he assembled a team to submit the idea to the North American Young Generation in Nuclear Innovation 4 Nuclear contest and they won the first 2 phases in North American and will now be presenting at the International Youth Nuclear Congress Conference in November.
In this episode Ced sits down with Ryan Macleod AKA the Nuclear Bitcoiner to discuss the importance and safety of nuclear energy and how Ryan is trying to orange pill the nuclear industry by showing how bitcoin aids the economic case. What if you didn't have to pay healthcare premiums anymore? What if you could invest in bitcoin instead?

Their parent company, Numberall has been doing it since 1930. With bitcoin slowly changing people's time preference, they feel it's a great time to focus on making artistic, metal items. People can again start to appreciate an item for it's beauty, and the craftsmanship it took to make it. Their first go is the Bitcoin Reuleaux Triangle. It's a fusion of engineering, geometry, artisanship, and bitcoin. It's overall shape is the Reuleaux Triangle, named after Franz Reuleaux. He was an engineer in the 1800's who formalized Kinematic Theory, Of course the obvious nod to bitcoin is front and center with the Bitcoin ₿ logo. They strived to achieve a beautiful look with the ₿ face textured for an almost diamond coated look. Along with making the ₿ a raised engraving, which creates a beveled edge to enhance the smaller details.

Ryan MacLeod is a Bitcoiner working in the reactor research and safety programs at Canadian Nuclear Labs. In this interview, we discuss the importance and safety of nuclear energy, and how Ryan is trying to orange pill the nuclear industry by showing how Bitcoin aids the economic case. - - - - The growing consensus is that nuclear energy needs to play a critical part in providing society's energy needs. It is both a low-carbon energy source, energy-dense, and (dependent upon operation) reliable. And yet, nuclear only provides 10% of the world's energy needs, down from 18% in 1996. Whilst the IAEA forecasts only a 12% contribution by 2050 in its high-case projection. The issue to date has been the safety concerns regarding nuclear energy. High-profile accidents have clouded the public's perception of the nuclear industry and influenced anti-nuclear policies in numerous countries. The build-out of new nuclear capacity dropped significantly after Chernobyl, an accident that some feared had come close to making half of Europe uninhabitable. The reality is that Chernobyl was an accident unlike any other, which indicated the malaise of a waning superpower, rather than an industry that was inherently dangerous. Since then, reactor technology and the treatment of waste have continued to improve. We are now on the cusp of countries being able to roll out Small Modular Reactors that are cheaper, safer and more scalable than existing designs. It has the potential to revolutionize nuclear power just when we need it. And yet, the economics of nuclear energy are still challenging. High capital costs mean that nuclear facilities need to have a high capacity to make the investment worthwhile. Cheaper energy from solar and wind are adding to the complexity of the issue. There are other uses for nuclear energy that can be monetised, but these have their own specific infrastructure and operational requirements. This is where Bitcoin mining could provide a bridge. It eliminates the concept of surplus baseload generation, bolstering the economic bottom line of both old and new reactors. And it can do this from day one. So, could Bitcoin mining be the catalyst for a renaissance of the nuclear industry? If so, it will be young professionals such as Ryan MacLeod who are helping to lead the change.
“Bitcoin mining can be plugged into the existing nuclear fleet as it and shore up the economics right now, because a lot of the reactors that are being shut down are because they're not economically competitive on a grid that has a large share of wind and solar.”— Ryan MacLeodRyan MacLeod is a Bitcoiner working in the reactor research and safety programs at Canadian Nuclear Labs.

Small Modular Reactor technology represents the potential for a clean, reliable, abundant, and versatile energy production technology, that could be a major boon to much of the world. However, the technology is still nascent, and as a result, not yet cost-competitive with other generation technologies. As more solutions compete on the market, and economies of scale develop, this is likely to change. Perhaps the quickest way that the economics of SMR technology could be improved, is by de-risking capital allocation, improving efficiency, and thereby accelerating ROI and market competitiveness. The way to achieve this, is by integrating bitcoin mining. Making this case to regulators, investors, entrepreneurs and others, is what Ryan MacLeod is currently engaged in.
