Nuclear - Everything Nuclear

Starkenburg Castle, the formerly nuclear power plant Biblis and the wind turbines of Rheinhessen seen from the Tromm observation tower.
This image of the center of a chicory flower reminded me of some of the graphics I've seen of a nuclear fusion reactor, like this one:

The rising sun filtered through a dense layer of forest fire smoke and a few clouds, viewed across ridges of the foothills of the Colorado Front Range.
A very cold sunset scene on the Heysham headland, with the Harbour and Heysham’s two Nuclear Power Stations in the distance.
The dog walker and her two furry friends had me thinking of the old “Ready Brek” adverts!
Man finally nearly wiped out all life on earth. This is only the beginning of what could be the end. Can anything or anyone survive the poisons now permeating everything the planet.
the Sun is a gigantic nuclear reactor. Nuclear fusion reactions transformed hydrogen into helium in its core, releasing energy

Das Atomium ist ein Gebäude in Brüssel, das zur „Expo ’58“ errichtet wurde. Der Ingenieur André Waterkeyn hatte das Atomium als Symbol für das Atomzeitalter und die friedliche Nutzung der Kernenergie entworfen; errichtet wurde es unter Leitung der Architekten André und Jean Polak.
Die Kugeln verbinden 23 Meter lange Röhren mit einem Durchmesser von 3,3 Metern. Durch einige von ihnen führen Rolltreppen, die mit bis zu 35 m Länge bei ihrem Bau einst zu den längsten in Europa zählten. Insgesamt gibt es zwischen den Kugeln 20 Verbindungsgänge. Im mittleren Rohr der etwa 2.400 Tonnen schweren Konstruktion befindet sich ein Aufzug, der die Besucher in 23 Sekunden zur obersten Kugel des Atomiums bringt. Im Jahre 1958 war der originale Aufzug der schnellste der Welt mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 5 m/s. In der obersten Kugel befinden sich ein Restaurant sowie rundherum Fenster mit Panoramablick.
The Atomium is a building in Brussels, which was built for the "Expo '58". The engineer André Waterkeyn had designed the Atomium as a symbol of the nuclear age and the peaceful use of nuclear energy; It was built under the direction of the architects André and Jean Polak.
The spheres connect 23 meter long tubes with a diameter of 3.3 meters. Through some of them escalators that once counted up to 35 m in length in their construction of the longest in Europe lead. In total there are between the balls 20 connecting corridors. In the central pipe of around 2,400 ton structure has an elevator, which brings visitors in 23 seconds top sphere of the Atomium. In 1958 was the original Lift the fastest in the world at a speed of 5 m / s. In the uppermost sphere is a restaurant as well as around windows with panoramic views.
Nuclear X 2 (If you include the Sun behind it).
At 580 Feet tall (176 Meters), these abandoned nuclear cooling towers serve as reminders for the future generations. Nuclear power known for how it's the cleanest form of power to date, still is not widely accepted today.
This is one I pulled over to get: Beth and I had just picked up take-out, we’re returning home to eat, and the sun exploded as we drove onto Veterans Bridge. My smart phone is kind of stupid - so I used Beth’s - and took this photo. The sun was so incredibly bright (I cannot stress this enough), framing presented a challenge. Plus, the wind was howling and blowing dust everywhere. Still, I think the result was worth it. Have a great week, everyone! *Explored: July 31, 2023 - Thank you!
NS Y97 glides up the Royalton Branch across river from the Three Mile Island nuclear plant. This plant fell victim to fearmongering against nuclear power after it experienced a partial reactor failure in 1979. Even with the reactor recovered, and no threat posed, the topic of reactivating is still sensitive.
Dungeness is a headland on the coast of Kent, England, formed largely of a shingle beach in the form of a cuspate foreland. It shelters a large area of low-lying land, Romney Marsh. Dungeness spans Dungeness Nuclear Power Station, the hamlet of Dungeness, and an ecological site at the same location. It lies within the civil parish of Lydd.
There are two nuclear power stations at Dungeness, identified as "A" and "B", the first built in 1965 and the second in 1983. They are within a wildlife sanctuary designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and birds flourish in the warmer water created by the station's outflow.[citation needed]
The older power station closed on 31 December 2006,[9] while the newer station has had its licence extended to 2028. It is now owned and operated by EDF Energy.[10]
There is a public visitors centre, and tours of "B" station are available. Tours were stopped in 2001, and the visitor centre subsequently closed in 2003, in the wake of the September 11 attacks. EDF opened a new visitor centre in 2013 and resumed tours, albeit with new security procedures which have to be cleared some weeks in advance of visits.
The Heritage Railroad picks up loads of radioactive contaminated soil ready to be shipped out of the K-25 site in Oak Ridge, TN. VLIX 9553 is in charge of the days train, a GE U23B still sporting its former CSX MOW orange scheme. The Oak Ridge K-25 Site, which opened in 1944, was once home to multiple gaseous diffusion plants, used to produce enriched uranium initially for the Manhattan Project. The enriched uranium would be used in the Little Boy atomic bomb dropped during the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Following the conclusion of World War II, the site became capable of manufacturing highly enriched uranium, with production lasting till 1964. Six decades after production ceased, decontamination efforts are still underway with the Heritage Railroad playing a vital role in the process.
Mist and low cloud catching the light of the setting sun gave an almost apocalyptic view of the valley. A lone bird flies into the maelstrom.
Back in 2011, I was in the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) in Melbourne and was intrigued by the "Water Wall" installation at the entrance.
I ended up spending an hour shooting all manner of people walking outside the museum. I finally got around to processing, printing and framing a series of these shots this year - more than a decade after I took the shots. This is the first of that series.

It's been a very long time since I posted a sunset... Sorry ! I can't help ! :-)))

Wish you all a very nice weekend :-)
A freezing cold winters night over the Pickering Nuclear Plant. Wind was howling so the long exposure was great to capture the scudding clouds.
This is the end....!
Have a great weekend guys. Thank you for comments and faves.

The frost on the ground and trees makes the scene look like something out of science fiction novel depicting a nuclear winter.
Holaaaaaaaa finalmente ci siamo...da domai fosforescenti zomberos, e senza ombra di dubbio più ricchi...(il pil aumenta no?).
Scàjola ci ha rassicurato, il Cav. ce lo ha promesso, e tutti siamo come al solito piu' felici e contenti!
Ma ve l'immaginate?
Entriamo nell'era Nucleare!
Potremo avere anche noi la bella ed efficiente Centrale sotto il culo, no perchè nessuno si pone il dubbio di dove verranno costruite!
Siamo o non siamo il Pese del "not in my garden?"
Non riusciamo a fare una discarica, figuriamoci una centrale nucleare!
Già li vedo tutti in piazza, tutti in strada, il sindaco, il vescovo, le autorità, i bambini (che nonmancano mai), i pensionati, i sindacati, i (reduci) comunisti, tutti col fischietto e cartelloni in mano!
Paura eh?
Terrore negli occhi?
Incubo Chernobyl?
Io?
Io non sono totalmente contrario, però...c'è sempre un però.
Se come si è letto nei giorni scorsi, la mafia aveva messo le mani e il portafoglio, nella costruzione di impianti eolici, volete che non le metta sul nucleare?
Si fa scappare un affare simile?
Vedete, io mi fido della tecnologia, anche se non la capisco, ma non mi fido degli italiani!
Come la costruiranno?
Chi la costruirà?
Dove?
Con quali capitali?
Diffidente?
Si, ma non è mica colpa mia!
Ci sono diventato, conosco i miei polli, e so bene che dove c'è un piatto (per di piu' molto ricco) le forchette aumentano, e non sempre sono forchette d'argenteria garantita.
Intanto hanno deciso, l'abbiamo votato (e non mi venite a dire che nessuno l'ha votato che non ci credo!) e ora ci aspetta un futuro a fissione.
Ci fisseremo una volta per tutte che si deve mettere la crocetta sul posto giusto?
non lo so e nemmeno ci credo....
hola.....e illuminatevi....d'incenso!
