US nuclear plant Three Mile Island to reopen, sell power to
Microsoft
September 20, 2024
US nuclear plant Three Mile Island, the site of the worst nuclear
accident in American history, is to restart operations in a deal
to sell power to Microsoft, Constellation Energy said Friday.
The firm announced the 20-year deal would involve the restart of
the Unit 1 reactor, "which operated at industry-leading levels of
safety and reliability for decades before being shut down for
economic reasons exactly five years ago today."
The Unit 1 reactor was not involved in the 1979 partial nuclear
meltdown at the site in Pennsylvania.
US media reported that Microsoft will harness the energy to fuel
its AI capabilities, a rapidly growing sector that requires large
amounts of power.
Constellation Energy said the reactor would go back online in
2028.
"This agreement is a major milestone in Microsoft's efforts to
help decarbonize the grid in support of our commitment to become
carbon negative," said Bobby Hollis, vice president of energy at
Microsoft.
Three Mile Island sent the United States into panic when, on
March 28, 1979, its Unit 2 reactor partially melted down.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission called it the "most serious
accident in US commercial nuclear power plant operating history,
although its small radioactive releases had no detectable health
effects on plant workers or the public."

From Phys.org:
What happens to the climate when Earth passes through
interstellar clouds?
by Mark Thompson
Universe Today
September 24, 2024
Noctilucent clouds were once thought to be a fairly modern
phenomenon. A team of researchers recently calculated that Earth
and the entire solar system may well have passed through two
dense interstellar clouds, causing global noctilucent clouds that
may have driven an ice age.
The event is thought to have happened 7 million years ago and
would have compressed the heliosphere, exposing Earth to the
interstellar medium.
Interstellar clouds are vast regions of gas and dust between the
stars within galaxies. They are mostly made up of hydrogen along
with a little helium and trace elements of heavier elements.
They are a key part of the life cycle of stars, providing the
materials for new stars to be formed, and are seeded with
elements after stars die. The clouds vary significantly in size,
density and location and are an important part of the evolution
of the galaxy.
Earth's journey around the galaxy is not for the impatient, for
it takes about 250 million years to complete one full orbit at a
speed of 828,000 kilometers per hour. Currently, the solar system
is located in the Orion Arm, one of the spiral arms of our
galaxy.
During the journey, Earth travels through different regions,
encountering stars and different densities of the interstellar
medium. It experiences gravitational interactions with nearby
stars and nebulae, sometimes exerting subtle interactions.
Regardless of the immense journey, the stars of our galaxy remain
relatively unchanged over a human lifetime.
A team of astronomers led by Jess A. Miller from the Department
of Astronomy of Boston University have traced the path of the sun
back through time. In doing so, they have identified two
occasions when the Earth and solar system passed through two
dense interstellar clouds. The research is published in
Geophysical Research Letters.
One of the crossings occurred 2 million years ago, the other 7
million years ago. Exploring the properties of the clouds, the
team asserts that the clouds are dense enough that they could
compress the solar wind to inside the orbit of Earth.
The solar wind is a constant stream of charged particles, mostly
electrons and protons that are emitted from the upper layer of
the sun's atmosphere, the corona. The particles travel through
the solar system at speeds between 400 and 800 kilometers per
second. The edge of our solar system is defined as the point
where the solar wind merges with the interstellar medium.
Previous teams have analyzed climate change events due to these
interstellar medium interactions with similar findings. Global
cooling has been the result, with an ice age being triggered. The
study by Miller and team readdressed this very topic using modern
technology and processes.
The team finds that the interactions have indeed played a part in
changes to the atmosphere of Earth. They find that levels of
hydrogen in the upper atmosphere would have increased
substantially. The newly acquired hydrogen would be converted to
water molecules in the lower atmosphere and it would also have
led to a reduction in mesospheric levels of ozone.
These processes would have led to the appearance of global
noctilucent clouds in the mesosphere. They would not have been
permanent, but may have blocked 7% of sunlight from reaching
Earth, plunging our planet into an ice age.
