A Minnesota facility disclosed tritium water spill after applying for license extension

https://www.rt.com/news/573108…llo-nuclear-tritium-leak/


"Authorities in the northern US state of Minnesota revealed on Thursday that a nuclear power plant near Minneapolis had suffered a radioactive water spill amounting to over 1.5 million liters. Xcel Energy, which owns the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, is working to clean up the spill and insists there is no danger to the general public.

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) said that about 400,000 gallons of tritiated waterleaked from a broken pipe at the facility. The leak was first discovered on November 22, and its source was found on December 19 and patched “soon after.”

"Authorities decided to keep the public in the dark about the incident, while Xcel Energy and the state were “actively managing” the situation to prevent the underground plume of irradiated water from spreading to the nearby Mississippi River, ""The city of Monticello issued a statement saying its drinking water supply was not affected by the leak, which happened outside the area from which they draw groundwater for municipal wells.The contaminated water has not been detected beyond the plant’s perimeter, Xcel told KMSP-TV. An estimated 25% of the water has been recovered and pumped into a treatment system on site. The company is considering building storage tanks or a retention pond for the project, which could take a year or more."

"The Monticello facility had a leak of about 2,000 gallons (7,500 liters) in 1981, with some of the water reaching the river, but state health officials said it posed no danger to wildlife or public health."

Thanks for the thread.. I'm

toying with the idea of DIY GCN or ureaH2.

not wrt LENR, but wrt the halflife of U238..

nothing urgent,, the rocks can wait..

the urea ..(urine?)to H2 electrolysis.looks a bit slow

but a few cc is enough..

The price of Urea has almost quadrupled since the Russians invaded Ukraine, since a lot of global production was from that part of the world.

Ukraine's pain is gain for mice urine?

Here I can get 1 kilo urea fo 8$

a bit less than the cost of a Geiger counter or a 1000W induction coil

This hits hard agriculture, as Urea is by far the main fertilizer used in all the world.

In our previous reports including SAEpaper 2020, we proposed a new engine with high thermal efficiency based on relatively-silent high compression and nearly-complete air-insulation effect, which employs collision of pulsed multijets of gas around chamber center. Maximum compression level due to the gas jets colliding will be 100MPa and 3000K around chamber center before reactions. Relatively-silent high compression is possible, because region around chamber wall is at pressure level of traditional piston engines. This is suitable for various fuels including hydrogen, because high compression around chamber center leads to stable auto-ignition, which also brings potential of low NOx at very lean burning operation. We also confirmed very less occurrence of knocking of gasoline in this new engine by combustion experiments, which leads to braking thermal efficiency over 50% for small engines. However, lots of people may want zero emissions. Thus, in the present paper, we show a possibility of weak quantum reaction engine, based on “stable” low energy nuclear reaction (LENR), which was found by Yoshiaki Arata, 2008. Oxidant is not necessary for LENR, which implies no NOx. The LENR without radiation is based on mixing of hydrogen gas and nano-scale particles of metal materials such as Cu, Pd, and Ni. Many previous studies in closed chambers show that, “at atmospheric pressure condition”, higher temperature leads to more heat release without fuel supplementation for months. Thus, we tried experiments at higher pressure over 1MPa. The results obtained indicate that pressure increase also has more heat release. Thus, simultaneous set of high pressure over 100MPa and high temperature over 3000K, generated by the multi jets colliding around chamber center shown above, may result in very high power surpassing over that obtained by chemical reaction, leading to new CO2-free engine without fuel addition for months, although with small chambers.

Merci Alain

Very interesting. Perhaps a new way to semi-direct conversion of LENR.

It seems that protons possesses a kind of smaller nucleus inside it, in fact the same organization as nucleons both with electrons but at lower scale.. Like Russian dolls inside each other.

Revisiting cold fusion possibilities for clean energy

Revisiting cold fusion possibilities for clean energy

Quote from U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center

HANOVER, N.H. – With global attention becoming increasingly focused on climate change, more and more scientific research is turning to advancements in clean energy. One researcher at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s (ERDC) Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) has set his sights on cold fusion.

Cold fusion — or low-energy nuclear reaction (LENR) as it is referred to today — is a hypothesized type of nuclear reaction that occurs at, or near, room temperature. In 1989, two electrochemists, Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons, claimed they could produce nuclear fusion using their apparatus on a small tabletop. Their claims were tested, found to be unreliable and have mostly been dismissed for the last 30 years.

“Engineers talk about three main problems that we strive to solve: communication, transportation and energy,” said Dr. Benjamin Barrowes, a research electrical engineer at ERDC-CRREL in Hanover, New Hampshire. “Of those three, we continuously make incremental improvements, but energy is a big problem these days. Generating and using energy with the current inefficiencies has led to greenhouse gases, climate change and even wars. It’s a big issue, so if we had a new energy source, it would be a huge benefit to everybody.”

With the current climate crisis, interest in LENR has grown.

“LENR hopes to show that there are nuclear effects under near ambient circumstances,” said Barrowes. “If we can do that, if we can show that there is any nuclear effect going on, and document it and have it repeatable then scientists around the world would believe that there’s something happening. Then they could get involved to help figure out why it’s happening, how it’s happening and then hopefully exploit it for a new energy source.”

Barrowes is new to the LENR community and has only been exploring the process for the last few years.

“I’m only able to do this because of Department of Defense Funding Laboratory Enhancements Across Four Categories, or FLEX-4 funding,” he said. “ERDC has invested in cold fusion in fiscal years 2022-2024. We’re halfway through at this moment, and that has allowed me to do some preliminary research to get myself in the game.”

For his research, Barrowes often works with the metal palladium and different types of lasers.

“Palladium has a very special property in that it absorbs a lot of hydrogen or deuterium, which is hydrogen with an extra neutron,” he said. “When palladium absorbs this hydrogen, it’s theorized that under the right conditions, those hydrogen or deuterium atoms get close enough to fuse — that’s our cold fusion.”

After a recent experiment, Barrowes discovered two very interesting features when examining the palladium.

“There is a triangular patch of silicon located in the general area of where we positioned the red laser,” he said. “It’s about a 1-millimeter square area of silicon, and it’s thick in terms of these things — like 50 microns thick — and it’s ridged and brittle. I don’t know how it got there, but if I can show that it’s from a nuclear process, that would be big news.”

Barrowes plans to analyze the silicon to see if it is natural or made in a nuclear process.

“There is another area where we used a blue laser and that also has silicon,” he said. It’s not very much — only approximately 1 micron thick — but that is about the size of the blue laser, and it’s located in the spot where it was positioned. It’s fascinating. It could be contamination, or it could be nothing.”

With renewed interest in LENR, more opportunities for research are becoming available. Last year the Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy, or ARPA-E, announced a $10 million award to revisit cold fusion. ARPA-E is a U.S. government agency tasked with promoting and funding research and development of advanced energy technologies.

“This is big news in our community,” said Barrowes. “An agency’s finally funding this again, and the potential payoff could be huge. I’m collaborating on two of the research awards. It’s exciting.”
