Thanks for the list! Is there any short-term progress on using nuclear power for commercial shipping? I think as we try to go to net-zero emissions in all sectors, this will be the solution for decarbonizing shipping. Is that right?

Love these retrospective posts! There's so much nuclear news, some good, some bad, that it can feel disorienting as it washes over you. Looking back like this helps put it into perspective!

> The world watched in horror in March as Russian forces proceeded to…what’s the technical language, shell the shit out of Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia NPP

Wikipedia: The plant has been occupied by Russian forces since 3 March 2022. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaporizhzhia_Nuclear_Power_Plant_crisis

Further down the article you can see that shelling started in August.

August is also when Russia lost all initative and Ukrainian counter offensive started https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Ukrainian_southern_counteroffensive

We have seen Russia hiding millitary vehicles/equipment in turbine halls.

It is not logical to start shelling a station which has been firmly under your control for months.

You can be pro-Ukraine and still admit that this is not a clear cut situation.
