[00:00:00] that we don't see any major obstacles to extending those 43 seconds
[00:00:04] to 100, 200 or even 500
[00:00:06] seconds.
[00:00:12] the successful attempt relied a new approach, instead of
[00:00:16] feeding hydrogen gas through a valve, researchers use tiny
[00:00:19] frozen hydrogen
[00:00:20] pellets,
[00:00:25] they're shot in through kind of blowpipe like the ones we made back in
[00:00:28] school, but these pellets are propelled by pressurized
[00:00:32] gas. They dissolve, melt, and quickly
[00:00:35] vaporize, becoming plasma. So there's a
[00:00:38] constant supply of plasma, like shoveling coal into a
[00:00:41] furnace.
[00:00:46] The heat in this furnace is contained by magnetic fields
[00:00:49] generated by a complex array of magnets.
[00:00:53] They keep the plasma from touching the chamber walls, because
[00:00:57] contact would cool it down instantly.
[00:01:00] Designing the W7X magnet configuration required
[00:01:04] supercomputers and years of
[00:01:05] planning.
[00:01:08] So when can we expect the first Fusion Reactor to go
[00:01:11] online?
[00:01:16] A conservative estimate says sometime in the second half of the
[00:01:19] century (2060 or 2070, something like
[00:01:23] that). But it's pointless to speculate, because
[00:01:26] we could also take a much bolder unconventional approach. In
[00:01:30] fact, many startups are doing that.
[00:01:34] There are now about 50 fusion startups worldwide, taking a
[00:01:37] variety of approaches. They're aiming for success in the
[00:01:41] 2030s, which is practically tomorrow, but whether it will
[00:01:44] be the 2030s or the 2070s is something that no
[00:01:48] one can say for
[00:01:48] sure.
[00:01:53] For now, the accelerator is undergoing
[00:01:56] I feel proud that we are taking action in maintenance with number of upgrades scheduled over the next few months.
[00:02:01] Then W7X will be back and chasing new
[00:02:04] records.
[00:02:09] Did you know that nuclear fission, the process behind nuclear power
[00:02:13] today, is considered more dangerous than nuclear
[00:02:16] fusion. Fission accidents can release massive
[00:02:19] amounts of radioactive material, as happened in
[00:02:23] Fukushima and Chernobyl. Fusion
[00:02:26] is safer and doesn't produce high-level radioactive
[00:02:29] waste. must be stored safely for millennia,
[00:02:32] yet Finland is betting a future powered by nuclear
[00:02:35] fission.
[00:02:40] The Olkiluoto peninsula on Finland's west coast is
[00:02:44] one of the country's most important energy hubs. It's
[00:02:48] home to three nuclear reactor
[00:02:50] a a units. The newest one went into commercial operation in
[00:02:53] 2023. The turbine hall is where the massive generators
[00:02:57] are located. They're driven by heat. from the reactor, which
[00:03:01] is how the electricity is
[00:03:02] produced.
[00:03:05] Olkiluoto 3 has capacity of 1600
[00:03:09] megawatts, making it one of the largest nuclear reactors in the
[00:03:12] EU. the facility covers about 14% of Finland's
[00:03:16] electricity production.
[00:03:19] the company's press officer says public concerns were
[00:03:22] minimal. we have been measuring for 40 years
[00:03:25] this, what people fear and what, what, how do they like
[00:03:29] nuclear power and... they they like
[00:03:32] nuclear power a lot today, they are not afraid of the
[00:03:35] waste, it's not a major concern anymore, we
[00:03:39] have a solution here in Olkiluoto, so the support
[00:03:42] for nuclear is good in every
[00:03:45] party, but there were some problems here
[00:03:49] too, construction was supposed to last from 2005 to
[00:03:53] 2009, but in the end it took 14 additional
[00:03:56] years, the project was plagued with delays inc. loose
[00:04:00] parts in the turbine and issues with the instrumentation and
[00:04:04] control system. after multiple repairs, the final cost
[00:04:07] had 11 billion euros, about four times the original
[00:04:11] budget. so we were we were pioneers, so there was
[00:04:15] a long break that nobody was building here in western
[00:04:18] Europe nuclear power,
[00:04:21] so the readiness to build was not
[00:04:25] very good, and also the power plant was new
[00:04:28] design and... was uh not
[00:04:32] designed in detail level, so
[00:04:35] plans were changed during the project, but
[00:04:39] there were no protests over the delays and soaring
[00:04:42] costs, and now the new plant is delivering
[00:04:45] electricity to the country. as in
[00:04:48] France, in Finland, nuclear energy is considered green
[00:04:51] energy. the operator has proudly called the new
[00:04:55] reactor Finland's largest climate
[00:04:57] project.
[00:05:01] Finland is one of several European nations investing in nuclear
[00:05:05] energy. New reactors are underway in
[00:05:08] France, Czechia and Slovakia, while
[00:05:10] Poland is preparing to build its electricity
[00:05:54] will be far cheaper with nuclear power than without
[00:05:57] it. the Finnish operators don't understand
[00:06:01] Germany's nuclear phase out, because big
[00:06:03] country like Germany, very big country, so if
[00:06:07] you want to reach reach 100% renewables
[00:06:11] and electricity. systems, we haven't seen
[00:06:14] it yet in a big country, so all the best for the
[00:06:18] for this challenging effort
[00:06:21] that that you can hopefully
[00:06:24] do without nuclear power, but our solution
[00:06:28] is is nuclear and renewables
[00:06:30] together. the Finns have also found a solution
[00:06:34] for the nuclear waste. geologist Johanna
[00:06:38] Savunen is on her way to the construction site near the power
[00:06:41] plants. At more than 450 meters
[00:06:44] below ground, the world's first permanent repository for
[00:06:48] high-level radioactive waste is taking
[00:06:51] shape.
[00:06:54] Underground tunnels will soon store spent fuel rods for thousands of
[00:06:58] years. The nuclear waste bunker has attracted
[00:07:01] worldwide attention.
[00:07:04] I feel proud,
[00:07:08] a difficult matter and not just waiting for some...
[00:07:12] others to show the way. I feel that this
[00:07:15] is an issue that needs to be solved and I'm I feel proud that
[00:07:19] Finland is doing exactly that.
[00:07:23] 300 meters long and carved into granite bedrock,
[00:07:26] the tunnels will one day store highly radioactive nuclear
[00:07:30] waste. An elevator will bring the copper canisters
[00:07:34] filled with spent fuel elements down into the
[00:07:37] repository. Each canister will be placed in a
[00:07:40] hole. The holes and... tunnel will be plugged with
[00:07:43] bentonite and the tunnel finally will be sealed with
[00:07:47] concrete. the Onkalo repository will go
[00:07:50] online in 2026. the
[00:07:53] waste will remain here for over 100 thousand years
[00:07:56] until it is only minimally radioactive.
[00:07:59] radioactive waste is quite
[00:08:03] difficult subject and people don't know a lot about
[00:08:07] it, so people tend to be afraid of something they don't know
[00:08:10] about.
[00:08:13] Many Finns place great trust in the work of their
[00:08:15] scientists. They believe that nuclear power is
[00:08:19] the best choice, and that a mix of wind power and
[00:08:22] nuclear energy will secure an emissions free
[00:08:25] future.
[00:08:32] Finland places great value on energy independence, and over the past
[00:08:36] decades that's worked quite well thanks to their use of nuclear
[00:08:39] power. So you could say their decisions make sense.
[00:09:42] with electricity for decades to
[00:09:44] come.
[00:09:50] By 2030, Germany aims to generate 80%
[00:09:54] of its electricity from renewables like wind and solar
[00:09:58] power. A key part of this green energy
[00:10:01] transition is battery storage. It
[00:10:04] stores excess energy for later use when demand is high.
[00:10:08] That helps stabilize the power grid and prevent overloads.
[00:10:57] By Spring 2026, a new battery system will be running
[00:11:01] here. It can deliver 50 megawatts of
[00:11:04] electricity about the output of a small gas
[00:11:07] plant for 4
[00:11:08] hours.
[00:11:11] Because it's plugged straight into the grid, the battery can
[00:11:15] store surplus renewable power and release it when demand
[00:11:18] rises, turning those swings into
[00:11:21] profit.
[00:11:55] Think of it like squirrels gathering nuts. We trade every
[00:11:59] 15 minutes, often the same energy again and
[00:12:01] again. Sometimes it's just tiny price differences,
[00:12:05] but over time you scoop up the returns. This
[00:12:09] business model has been tested for about 10 years with a 15 megawatt
[00:12:13] hour pilot system. German grid operators have received
[00:12:16] speculative requests for battery projects totaling 500
[00:12:20] gigawatts, far above the country's peak demand.
[00:12:24] If all were built. their combined capacity could for a few
[00:12:27] hours match the output of roughly 500 nuclear power
[00:12:31] plants.
[00:12:33] with growing flexibility, more storage systems and more
[00:12:36] collocations, meaning more pairing of renewable plants with ensite battery
[00:12:40] storage, the price gaps will gradually
[00:12:42] disappear.
[00:12:47] on April 28th, 2025, Spain and
[00:12:50] Portugal were hit by a massive blackout. Volt
[00:12:54] spiked beyond safe limits, shutting down over 20 gigawatts of
[00:12:58] plants, including four nuclear reactors.
[00:13:01] The grid's heartbeat its frequency, became
[00:13:04] unstable. Could battery storage systems have prevented
[00:13:08] it?
[00:13:11] We've observed the same thing that happened in Spain and Portugal here in our control
[00:13:15] room.
[00:13:19] CTO at transmission grid operator Amprion, helps
[00:13:23] keep Germany's grid stable.
[00:13:25] He says a blackout like the one that happened in Spain and Portugal can't happen
[00:13:29] in Germany thanks to backup systems, but if
[00:13:33] batteries are to join that safety net, they must do more than store
[00:13:36] energy. They need to help steady the grid's pulse by
[00:13:40] supplying reactive power on demand.
[00:13:54] In Spain.
[00:14:25] "we won't be able to build large-scale battery storage, even
[00:14:28] though it's essential for our future
[00:14:30] grid. that's a crucial
[00:14:34] point. so far, fossil plants have supplied
[00:14:37] reactive power almost automatically. the grid
[00:14:40] operator asks for it, the generators provide it, and
[00:14:44] electricity flows smoothly, but coal
[00:14:47] and lignite are set to be phased out by 2038 at the
[00:14:50] latest. once they're gone, reactive power won't come
[00:14:54] automatic." so a formal market needs to secure
[00:14:58] supply. the big question is, can batteries deliver
[00:15:01] during the dark doldrums, those long stretches with little sun or
[00:15:05] wind.
[00:15:08] battery storage is being put to the test here. what role
[00:15:12] will they play in tomorrow's energy system? with mega
[00:15:16] batteries on the rise, do we even need
[00:15:18] new backup gas plants at
[00:15:20] all?
[00:15:25] Sauer is a researcher at Aachen Technical University, he studies
[00:15:29] how the power grid will need to change with the energy
[00:15:31] transition.
[00:15:34] These battery storage systems will make us much more independent.
[00:16:37] but we need gas plants, and in the
[00:16:40] medium term, gas plants that run on hydrogen or
[00:16:43] hydrogen-related products.
[00:16:46] operated with products.
[00:16:50] so batteries won't get us through long winter lulls, but
[00:16:53] they're vital for the energy transition. they're able to
[00:16:57] steady electricity prices and in the future, the grid
[00:17:00] itself. and with new battery sights popping up
[00:17:04] across Germany, that's another big advantage.
[00:17:38] By contrast, hydrogen can hold huge amounts of energy
[00:17:42] for months, but producing hydrogen takes
[00:17:46] a lot of energy, ideally from renewable
[00:17:49] sources. That's what makes it green hydrogen,
[00:17:53] and it's being produced in places you might not
[00:17:56] expect.
[00:18:00] The Fuchsenhofen wastewater plant does more than treat
[00:18:04] sewage. It's also hosting an experiment.
[00:19:54] likes the idea, but says that even at scale it won't produce enough hydrogen to
[00:19:57] decarbonize heavy industry like steel production. that's
[00:20:01] why government and industry are looking to hydrogen from Africa, but
[00:20:05] Egli warns against putting too much faith.
[00:20:37] and his team studied them and say only about 2%
[00:20:41] shown here in light yellow could deliver
[00:20:44] affordable green hydrogen to Europe.
[00:20:48] Most are in North Africa.

[00:30:26] guest today is Professor of the Faculty of Political Sciences
[00:30:30] Dušan Spasović, good day, thank you very much for being here, good
[00:30:33] day, how do you view the latest developments
[00:30:37] when we talk about uh, here specifically
[00:30:41] the opposition, one colony of the opposition that has
[00:30:44] decided to withdraw from this election
[00:30:47] race? these are quite difficult decisions,
[00:30:50] uh, we know that with parties that have already made those decisions
[00:30:54] that there are uh disagreements, some people
[00:30:57] want to go to the elections, some don't.
