www.dw.com Taiwan prepares to close the curtains on nuclear power – DW – 05/12/2025
Opposition to nuclear energy increased significantly in Taiwan in recent years due to potential security risks and the thorny problem of waste disposal.
A community discussing nuclear power, including fission and fusion. The goal is to talk about generated nuclear power, so avoid simply talking about stars or something unless it is relevant.

Nuclear Power @lemmy.ml pedroapero @lemmy.ml German Startup Wins Accolade For Its Fusion Reactor Design
techcrunch.com German startup wins accolade for its fusion reactor design | TechCrunchProxima Fusion, a two-year-old German nuclear fusion startup, has published plans for a working fusion power plant in a peer-reviewed journal, in what is
A German nuclear fusion startup called Proxima Fusion has unveiled its "Stellaris" fusion power plant designed to operate reliably and continuously without the instabilities of tokamaks. It's backed by $65 million in funding, with plans to build a fully operational fusion reactor by 2031. TechCrunch reports:
Tokamaks and stellarators are types of fusion reactors that use electromagnets to contain fusion plasma. Tokamaks rely on external magnets and an induced plasma current but are known for instability. Stellarators, by contrast, use only external magnets, which, in theory, enable better stability and continuous operation. However, according to Dr. Francesco Sciortino, co-founder and CEO of Proxima Fusion, Proxima's "Stellaris" design is the first peer-reviewed fusion power plant concept that demonstrates it can operate reliably and continuously, without the instabiliti

The science is in:
The analysis of these two alternatives shows that Germany could have reached its climate gas emission target by achieving a 73% cut in emissions on top of the achievements in 2022 and simultaneously cut the spending in half compared to Energiewende. Thus, Germany should have adopted an energy policy based on keeping and expanding nuclear power.
