RTE would rather set a price based on the wholesale price in order to encourage more cogeneration production when electricity is expensive. After either EDF, Engie, Direct Energie or the others who buy, it's up to everyone to see. Indeed, sending a control signal to cogeneration will be ...

The only socially acceptable nuclear is the one that will allow us to get out of it ... No agreement on this point: the problem with current reactors is that they are large pots set to the stability limit and operating under 150 bars. They are inherently unstable and dangerous in the event of ...

It must be admitted, however, that if the share of renewable energies increased, it would be necessary to build gas-fired power stations "borne by consumers in the context of network costs". Why gas power stations? We could think of making cogeneration in large gas boilers (collective, ...

Sodium is not corrosive to my knowledge. You just have to keep it liquid and sheltered from air and water otherwise it spontaneously catches fire (this is also a problem for the dementia of Superphenix - or how to remove sodium without air) I was talking about fluid reactors ...

It is true that the Chinese are the most advanced in this race. There are at least four technical challenges: - resolving corrosion problems due to high temperature fluorine (MSFR). Apparently, the Chinese have just made recent advances on this subject. - treat abrasion problems ...
