Yes, I get all that, which are markets we are already involved in. Real volume will come by taking a slice of the CFM/P&W duopoly on narrow bodies, where Ultrafan will provide a superior third option, as well as a more fuel efficient option for wide bodies.

"Ultrafan for single aisle operations" Bingo. There's the pot of gold right there. Forget all this supersonic nonsense and other PR bullish*t. Core market.

We can buy you a blender if you like?

Ed doesn't have any choice. With the acceleration of AI more electrical power will be needed on top of an ever-expanding charging network.

Still holding.

Great news - thanks to both thegrafter and Skinny for passing along.

Looking at the Times report Skinny, and the map showing solar farms, I note there are none in the North West of England.

I suppose the wet helped our cotton spinning development so we shouldn't complain.

In a recent newspaper article I read of the massive electric demand brought about by AI processing. Water is also becoming an issue as the data hubs require considerable cooling - which is of course why the clever people build them in hot climate locations ;-(

But, a mini-nuke requires far less water cooling compared to a large, traditional nuclear facility as pointed out in the Times report.

Rolls-Royce SMR is first ever UK reactor design to be submitted for considerationEvaluation of potential benefits and detriments is required for in-principle justification of any new nuclear practiceThe Nuclear Industry Association has applied for a justification decision for Rolls-Royce SMR's reactor design. Our application makes the case that the benefits of clean, firm, flexible power from the reactor would far outweigh any potential risks, which are in any event rigorously controlled by robust safety features, including passive safety systems, built into the design, in line with the UK's regulatory requirements.The application also demonstrates that the reactor design would support nuclear energy's contribution to a stable and well-balanced electricity grid, which is essential to reduce consumer bills and maintain economic competitiveness.Justification is a regulatory process which requires a Government decision before any new class or type of practice involving ionising radiation can be introduced in the UK. A justification decision is one of the required steps for the operation of a new nuclear technology in the UK, but it is not a permit or licence that allows a specific project to go ahead. Instead, it is a generic decision based on a high-level evaluation of the potential benefits and detriments of the proposed new nuclear practice as a pre-cursor to future regulatory processes.This is the first ever application for justification of a UK reactor design. The UK Government has confirmed that the application has been accepted for consideration, and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs will support the Secretary of State in their role as the justifying authority responsible for the justification decision.Tom Greatrex, Chief Executive of the Nuclear Industry Association, said:"Rolls-Royce SMR's design, like other SMRs, offer huge possibilities for the UK to revive our industrial capabilities and deliver low-carbon energy for net zero and energy security. We are delighted to support this step to get the design approved in its home country."It is essential that our nuclear renaissance is made in Britain, so the new Government should ensure that we deploy enough SMR designs to justify investment in the UK supply chain to deliver them."Helena Perry, Rolls-Royce SMR's Safety and Regulatory Affairs Director, said:"As the UK's most advanced SMR design, today's submission for regulatory justification is another important step to ensure that we can continue to move at pace towards deployment in the UK."Each Rolls-Royce SMR 'factory-built' nuclear power plant will provide enough clean, affordable, electricity to power a million homes for 60+ years - delivering energy security, enabling net zero and making a transformational contribution to the UK economy."Rolls-Royce SMR remains on track to complete Step 2 of the Generic Design Assessment by the nuclear industry's independent regulators and move immediately into the third and final step this summer."

I would hazard a guess that we will be blue on Monday with all this news out !
