On parle beaucoup, en ce moment, de l’avenir du #nucléaire en Belgique. Mais en connaît-on vraiment l’histoire ?
Avec Siegfried Evens et Mathias Roger , nous revenons sur cette histoire dans un article publié dans la Revue générale nucléaire (RGN).

The Nuclear-Water Nexus is published! Here you have a foundational work about the hydrological turn in nuclear energy history - all in open-access. Props go to @Siegfriedevens and @PerHogselius for editing this great piece.

It's finally here! Our edited volume is out with @mitpress!
And as the current heatwave and water shortages across Europe are severely affecting nuclear power plants, the nuclear-water nexus is more important than ever. ⚛️🌊
Read all about it here: mitpress.mit.edu/97802625522…
With 20 chapters and 25 authors from a wide variety of countries and backgrounds, with academics from all kinds of disciplines as well as non-academics, it's a uniquely large and diverse edited volume!
Of interest to anyone in history of tech, STS, env humanities, and nuclear⚛️

This week, I gave a talk at France's new nuclear regulatory agency: @ASNR_FR
Many of the safety challenges ASNR experts are tackling (corrosion, welding,...) are part of a longer history of managing steam risks.
It was great to tell this history and learn about their work

Mis zeker vanavond vanaf 20u de PhD Cup-finale niet!
Ik ben helaas niet bij de finalisten geraakt, maar het was een enorme eer om mee te doen.
De pitches van de 8 finalisten zijn boeiend, goed gebracht, en het resultaat van zoveel werk en toewijding!

79 years after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the @NobelPrize is a strategic reminder that nuclear weapons continue to be a real threat more than ever before
@UniFAU @ERC_Research @STGS_FAU
BREAKING NEWS
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPeacePrize to the Japanese organisation Nihon Hidankyo. This grassroots movement of atomic bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, also known as Hibakusha, is receiving the peace prize for its efforts to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons and for demonstrating through witness testimony that nuclear weapons must never be used again.
#NobelPrize
📖⚛️ 300+ pagina's over nucleaire veiligheid omzetten naar 1000 woorden. Het was geen evidentie!
Maar ben je benieuwd naar mijn onderzoek over de risico's van water en stoom in kerncentrales? En geen tijd om een hele thesis te lezen? Lees dan zeker mijn artikel in Eos!
'Het grootste gevaar in een kerncentrale is water' ☢️ 💧
Hoe dat precies zit, legt #PhDCup-deelnemer #historicus @SiegfriedEvens je uit in zijn blog bij @Eoswetenschap

So glad and honored to have been selected for the Flemish PhD Cup!
In this science communication contest, I will get mediatraining and pitch my research on nuclear safety for a jury and larger audience
Looking forward to starting and meeting this fantastic group of scholars!
Ook dit jaar geeft de Vlaamse #PhDCup een podium aan jonge topwetenschappers! 🏆 Ontdek de 16 geselecteerden op phdcup.be

It is hard to believe, but the situation at the #ZNPP has become a new normal. It does not even make the news anymore.
The occurrence of intense fires near Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant continues to add to the growing challenges facing Europe's largest nuclear power plant, IAEA Director General @RafaelMGrossi said today: bit.ly/4fNomIy
Researching nuclear topics can be tricky. Especially in the US context. But we need to help each other out!
I am very happy I was able to share my experiences with US archives and libraries in the latest issue of @eh_ehess on #nuclearenergy .

Make sure to check out the rest of the special issue. Edited by @fr_garcias and Stéphanie Tillement. And with contributions from @repeatedroots, @MLehtonenFRA, @TevaMeyer, @LouisFagon, and others.

Excited to be a part of this special issue on nuclear energy in Enterprises et Histoire.
📕New issue ! We are pleased to announce the publication of our new issue 114 on "Civil nuclear power", guest-edited by Frédéric Garcias (Univ. de Lille-IAE/LUMEN) and Stéphanie Tillement (IMT Atlantique/DI2S/LEMNA).

Happy to be in pretty Amsterdam for #EASST4S2024! And excited for my presentation on #nuclear maintenance in our panel on stewardship. Join us today at 2 PM!
"Nu kernenergie overal heropleeft." Vreemde uitspraak wanneer de globale productie van kernenergie al jaren stagneert. En in het Westen meer kerncentrales sluiten dan er gebouwd worden.
Slechte verliezers zijn zij die staalhard de problemen met nieuwe reactorprojecten ontkennen.
Jaren aan een stuk voorspelde @Laveyne_J dat kernenergie "onherroepelijk zal uitdoven", dat het "geen kans maakt", "geen toekomst heeft", dat het geen zin had om de wet op de kernuitstap te schrappen. Nu kernenergie overal heropleeft, blijkt hij vooral een slechte verliezer.
