His survival in China right now hangs from a thread

by

This time the joy has lasted little to Nvidia. Finally, like We explain to you on July 15the company directed by Jensen Huang has made the Department of Commerce review its regulation and allows you to sell The GPU H20 for artificial intelligence (AI) in China. “The US government has assured us that licenses will be granted. We hope to start deliveries soon,” Nvidia said In a statement. The H20 chip is very important for Nvidia because it has opened the doors of the Chinese market again. The reception that Chinese companies initially gave to this GPU was very good despite the fact that the capacities of this chip are clearly lower than those of the other proposals for this company. In fact, the US Department of Commerce allowed its sale in China because this integrated circuit fulfilled the restrictions that had imposed. And despite its limitations its sales in China 50% quarter to quarter grew Since he arrived in this market in mid -2024. The administration of the cyberspace of China is investigating Nvidia Surprisingly this scenario He has put Nvidia in Añuro. And, once again, the reception of the H20 GPU in China is being so good that this American company has run out of units. According to ReutersNvidia has commissioned TSMC for the manufacture of no less than 300,000 units of this chip to be able to respond to the current demand from China. Blessed problem. However, the company’s engineers have been working on A new GPU with Blackwell microarchitecture The latest generation that is intended to occupy in China the place of the H20 chip. Cyberspace administration is the main Internet regulatory body in China Anyway, everything is not going well for Nvidia. And it is that the administration of the cyberspace of China, usually known as CAC for its denomination in English (Cyberspace Administration of China), he has decided Thoroughly investigate the H20 GPU. This institution is the main Internet regulatory body in China. It is mainly responsible for the censorship and control of the contents published in the Network, the supervision of technology companies and compliance with the Data Security Law and the Personal Information Protection Law. However, this is not at all the first time that the CAC makes noise in the West. And is that on March 31, 2023 launched an investigation as its purpose audit Micron Technologythe largest American memory chips. On this occasion, the CAC has decided to investigate Nvidia because it suspects that the H20 Chip could incorporate a back door of difficult location by Chinese experts. If so, the possibility of China to use this GPU could be possible. At the moment the CAC has limited himself to questioning those responsible for Nvidia in China and ask them to demonstrate that the H20 chip It does not represent a threat to interest and security from the country led by Xi Jinping. At the moment we do not have much more information, but presumably Nvidia will do everything in your hands to guarantee your survival in the Chinese market. After all, during the last fiscal year, which expired on January 26, 2025, China represented approximately 13% of total income of the company led by Jensen Huang with a figure of about 17,000 million dollars.

Spain thought its position regarding the closure of nuclear. That has just changed

by

The debate on a possible extension of nuclear plants has returned to the scene and has turned on the media focus. The electricity insists on lengthening their operation beyond the expected, but the executive denies that formal negotiations are being maintained and refers to the conditions that already set as essential. A letter and three conditions. Iberdrola and Endesa sent a joint letter to the government will make more or less a month. In it, they proposed to reopen the debate on the progressive closure of the nuclear park – which contemplates the shutdown of the Seven reactors between 2027 and 2035– With the argument that maintaining operational some centrals would reduce the cost of electricity for consumers. According to the countrythe Government responded by another letter signed by the Ecological Transition Minister, Sara Aagesen, opening to assess the proposal under three immovable conditions: that there is no additional cost for citizens, that the security of the supply is guaranteed and that the plants comply with the standards of the Nuclear Safety Council. So far they “dialogue.” According to eldiario.esthe government considers the letter of electricity as a declaration of intentions, not a formal request. In addition, Naturgy and EDP – also minority owners of some plants – did not sign the document, which leaves Iberdrola and Endesa alone. The debate intensifies. The situation is complex for a primary reason that is not technical, but the economic viability of nuclear. As the confidential explainedelectricity consider that operating with the current fiscal charge is unfeasible if the market price does not exceed € 65-70/MWh. In contrast, projected prices are around € 55/MWh by 2030. In this context, the Endesa CEO, José Bogas, raises the government a fiscal reduction, especially autonomic taxes (such as the one already eliminated in the Valencian Community) and the Enresa rate, which finances the dismantling of the centrals and waste management. However, according to the miteco, this fiscal reduction would involve damage to citizens, and therefore clashes frontally with their red lines. Almaraz, the first thermometer. The immediate focus is at the Almaraz nuclear power plant (Cáceres), whose first reactor must close in November 2027 and the second in October 2028. Iberdrola, Endesa and Naturgy – his three owners – have not yet met to approve the necessary investments that would allow their operation beyond those dates. The meeting scheduled for June has not been held, and sector sources admit that it will not occur before September. Meanwhile, companies prepare a new proposal that, According to El Confidencialcould be presented after summer at a meeting not yet confirmed with Minister Aagesen. The plan would be to offer a tax reduction in exchange for prolonging the activity of some centrals until 2030. However, the Ministry insists: if the conditions do not change, there will be no negotiation. A hot topic in Congress. The debate is more than served from the political field. On the one hand, the Popular Party preparing one Law proposition to extend the life of nuclear. The proposal would have the support of several regional governments of the PP – as Extremadura and Community Valencian – and the parliamentary support of Junts and ERC, which have shown flexibility in Congress in relation to the revision of the nuclear calendar. However, the government has reaffirmed its position. As El Confidencial recalledPresident Pedro Sánchez was bluntly in Congress last May, accusing PP and Vox of acting as “amateur lobists” of the electric. “If companies want to keep the centrals open, they pay them, not the citizens,” he settled. Facing an ambivalent European framework. In addition, the legal position of nuclear energy in the EU adds complexity, since European regulations do not consider nuclear energy as a renewable source. This is established by Directive 2018/2001 (Red II), a vision that has also adopted Spanish legislation. However, in 2022, the European Commission took a partial turn by including this technology, under certain conditions, In the so -called “green taxonomy”next to the natural gas. This classification allows certain nuclear investments to be labeled as sustainable from the climate point of view. As Miguel Huarte expanded has indicatedthis places the nuclear in a normative gray area: it is not renewable, but free of emission in its operation. And while France or Belgium have already chosen to extend their atomic parks, Spain maintains the opposite course. Accelerating another route. At the same time, the miteco has processed this July 31 a new Royal Decree by urgent route to reinforce the electrical system. As you have indicated in a press releaseit is a technical standard that does not directly address the nuclear calendar, but it does signal to a reinforcement of the electrical system by means of supervision, electrification of the demand and promotion of energy storage. Among other measures, the proposal increases the technical control of Electricity and CNMC, promotes renewable hybridization with storage systems and limits speculation on connection points. Although the text does not mention the nuclear, it reinforces the idea that the government bet remains clear: moving towards a 100% renewable mix. A door ajar. The crossing of cards between electric and government has served more to draw red lines than to open doors. What is played, beyond the kilowatt, is the country’s energy model: one where renewables are implacable and nuclear tries to scratch time under the promise of stability. But as well He has pointed the newspaper.Without a formal proposal and without an explicit resignation to tax privileges, electricity will continue to wait at the gates of a ministry that, for now, remains firm: either they meet the conditions, or the closing calendar will continue its course. The future of Almaraz – and perhaps that of the entire nuclear park – will be decided, if, after summer. And with many more letters even to play.

Azure is being for the AWS was for the Internet

Microsoft has made history by joining Nvidia in the exclusive club of the four billion dollars after Spectacular results that demonstrate how their commitment to the cloud and AI has completely transformed the company. Why is it important. Satya’s decision to reposition Microsoft as a company “Cloud First“A decade ago it has turned out to be one of the most successful strategic bets in technological history. Long before The arrival of chatgptMicrosoft decided to focus on building the infrastructure that would feed the AI revolution. In figures. The numbers of the latest quarterly results published are overwhelming: 76.4 billion dollars in quarterly income (+18%). Net profit of 27.2 billion (+24%). Azure exceeding 75,000 million annually with a growth of 34%. These figures fired the company’s action in the After-Hourswhich has catapulted the stock market capitalization above the four billion. The context. During the Ballmer era, Microsoft seemed condemned to be a desk for desktop software. Windows kept dominating, but the future pointed to the mobile and cloud. Nadella’s arrival changed priorities: less Windows, more digital infrastructure. His alliance with Openai in 2019 It ended up being visionary, since he assured access to the most advanced models without astronomical development costs. The alarm signal. Microsoft plans to spend 120,000 million dollars annually in data centers, quadruplying the investment of 2023. The financial director, Amy Hood, has confirmed that “the demand continues to exceed the supply” and that all this expense is “directly linked to contracts already signed.” It is the most expensive arms race in the history of technology. Yes, but. Success generates new problems to solve. The relationship with Openai has been tensioned and Microsoft has diversifying towards models of Grok and calls not to have all the eggs in the same basket. Copilot makes Microsoft continue to dominate in the business market with its 100 million users, but it is still far behind Chatgpt or Gemini, who multiply their adoption. And the winner is … Nadella has shown that deep business transformations are possible. From a Microsoft anchored in software licenses to a digital infrastructure power that competes from you to you with Amazon Web Services. Azure has not only grown: it has become the backbone of the AI era, processing the most demanding workloads of the planet. Script turn. For the first time in its history, Microsoft has publicly revealed the specific income of Azure and not only the accumulated of its division. Thus breaks years of opacity that Even former Steve Ballmer had criticized. Transparency comes just when the division has become its main growth engine and the most valuable asset of the company.

torpedoed the liberalization of merchandise transport

by

We wrote in Xataka Just a few hours ago Ryanair had on his head The most expensive fine (more than 107 million euros) that had imposed a company in our country. The figure almost tripled the second classified, dump, which He was also sanctioned by the government in relation to its hand luggage policy. Now, it is possible that the list made by Facua Have to update. Because the Supreme has confirmed the penalty of 50 million euros that the National Commission of Markets and Competition (CNMC) imposed Renfe for torpedoing the liberalization of merchandise transport. The figure, they say in The confidentialhas been confirmed by the magistrates and leave the possibility of increasing the sanction by 15 million euros in the hands of the National Court. Therefore, the fine could reach up to 65 million euros. A fine and two payments According to the Supreme Court, the CNMC acted correctly when it imposed a sanction of 49.9 million euros to Renfe accusing it of “incurring a collusion infraction by participating in a market distribution strategy that hindered competition in the railway transport of goods.” That punishment came in 2017. Then a sanction of 49.9 million euros was imposed on Renfe Operadora and 15.13 million euros to Renfe merchandise that should be paid separately. In addition, a sanction of 10 million euros also imposed on the Deutsche Bahn group. According to the CNMC, Renfe and Deutsche Bahn, the first and second market operator, signed in 2008 an agreement that distorted the liberalization of merchandise transport in Spain “reducing the competitive pressure between them and consolidating the existing situation prior to liberalization.” With these agreements, “the public entity agreed to more beneficial conditions with the Deutsche Bahn group exclusively. Among them, the offer of traction services in a generalized way or the absence of penalties in the event that Grupo Deutsche Bahn annulled railway traction services. Renfe submitted the rest of the operators to more burdensome conditions, denying their requests for traction services for regular traffic services.” The same is what the Association of Private Railway Companies (AEFP) argued, who promoted demand At first, when they understood from the private sector they were receiving discriminatory treatment and less beneficial than that of Deutsche Bahn. Until now, the National Court has issued two sentences in which it ratifies the fines. In the second of them it made it clear that a violation of the principle was not being incurred non bis in idem. That is, Renfe was not sanctioning twice for the same fact. Given these setbacks, Deutsche Bahn imposed a appeal that has resulted in the Supreme Court. The same did Renfe, who also imposed cassation resources that should be valued by the Supreme Court and that in 2022 began to receive setbacks from the High Court. On this last occasionaccording to it The confidentialthe National Court did not correctly value the arguments of the plaintiffs and did not motivate why he rejected his allegations. Therefore, as regards Renfe, he has confirmed the sanction of 49.9 million euros but sends the second part of the fine, the 15.13 million euros, back to the National Court to value it again.

The good news for Russia is that the earthquake occurred in a remote area. The bad is that he concentrated his nuclear submarines

by

Yesterday we woke up with the news of A historical earthquake In an area of the planet that you had not heard in life. Makes sense, Kamchatka It is located at the easiest end of the Russian Eastern Eastern region, such an inhospitable place that has a “good” side of history: we had to tell human casualties in Russia. However, and due precisely to its geographical situation, that is where Moscow keeps part of Its nuclear arsenal. The epicenter of Russian underwater power. Yes, the Magnitude 8.8 earthquake who shook Kamchatka’s peninsula, one of the more powerful registered In modern history, he has put one of Russia’s most sensitive military facilities under the international focus: the naval bases of Avacha Bay. The movement, which generated tsunami waves in the Pacific and coincided with the eruption of the klyuchevskaya sopka volcanothere was only 100 kilometers from the heart of Russian nuclear deterrent power in the Far East. Although the Moscow authorities assure that There are no fatalities No serious damage, doubts revolve around the real state of Rybachiy, the main base of Russian strategic submarinesand from the Naval Complex of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Rybachiy: the bastion of nuclear deterrence. The Rybachiy base It houses the backbone of the underwater strategic fleet of Russia in the Pacific Ocean: The SSBN of the Borei and Borei-A classsuccessors of Ancient Deltacapable of carrying intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear heads. This installation, complemented by shipyards and missile load springs, represents a Central Piece of the Triad Russian nuclear, designed to guarantee the ability to retaliate in case of global conflict. In the area they also operate advanced attack submarines, like Yasen-M (indicated by the United States as one of the main threats under water), in addition to Oscar units and other submersibles of nuclear or conventional propulsion. The vulnerability of these assets in the face of extreme natural phenomena now generates serious unknowns. The Belgorod factor and the possesson weapon. To uncertainty is added the fact that Russia plans to move to Mysterious K-329 Belgorod To this same base. This submarine, the longest in the world, is a deep version Modified of the Oscar II class conceived to transport intercontinental nuclear torpedoes Poseidona strategic system also baptized as Status-6, designed to mock defenses and generate radioactive tsunamis. In addition, Belgorod is designed for underwater intelligence missions and undercover operations. The mere possibility that it would be in Avacha Bay during the earthquake The strategic interest of the natural catastrophe. Immediate technical risks and facilities. At the moment there is no clear evidence of damage to infrastructure or docked units. Bay’s own geography could have acted As a natural shield against the impact of the waves. However, they pointed out the Twz analysts that even minor variations of the sea level can cause critical problems: from submarines, violently hitting their ties (incidents known as Allision) until the entry of water in open gates or in ships subjected to maintenance. The robustness of the facilities, built with the hypothesis of an attack Nuclear in mind, reinforces the thesis that the damage has been limited, but does not completely eliminate uncertainty. The problem of concentrating a point. Beyond the punctual situation, the earthquake It exposes a structural dilemma: the risk of concentrating a substantial part of the Russian nuclear deterrence in a confined geographical enclave. The Avacha Baywith its shipyards, arsenals and strategic units, it constitutes a critical objective both from the military and natural point of view. The threat of an enemy attack was planned in design of the bases, but not that of a seismic phenomenon of historical magnitudescapable of questioning the safety of a key piece of the Russian nuclear triad. Strategic implications. In the background, the episode demonstrates how the stability of the world nuclear arsenal can depend on unpredictable natural factors. A single earthquake, in Second issueyou can compromise operability of strategic submarines whose function is to ensure the balance of nuclear terror. The fact that Kamchatka combines geological vulnerabilities With military assets In addition, the fragility inherent in global deterrence systems reveals. The international community, and especially the rival nuclear powers, will carefully observe the reports that emerge from Moscow, aware that nature, unlike strategic calculations, is impossible to deter.

Felipe II wanted to build an XXL channel from Madrid to Lisbon. Now the city has recovered it inspired by ancient Egypt

by

When the workers are excavated in a city with the solera and patrimonial wealth of Madrid the ground can become a box of surprises. The team in charge of the expansion of Metro Line 11, which during its excavations at the future Madrid Rio station recently proved it. He found himself With a wall of the Real Canal del Manzanares, the Gran river path dreamed by Felipe II. The structure has value, that was clear from the beginning, but it was so delicate and was in such a complicated area that a doubt arose: how to rescue it? Simple: ‘Looking’ to Ancient Egypt. Underground Award. If Spanish architects know something, it is that when you hurt a shovel in a city and excavas enough it is not strange that archaeological remains begin to emerge. It has happened in the works of Expansion of line 11 of the Madrid Metro. A few months ago The operators who are responsible for horating the ground for the future underground network and the Madrid Rio station found more than rocks: they located remains of the Real Canal del Manzanares. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Curious yes, surprising no. The finding is interesting and will help us know better The old channeling who aspired to connect Madrid and Lisbon with barges, but did not catch off experts. “It has been no surprise to meet this section of the channel here,” I commented In spring a The country Archaeologist Esther Andreu. It is not the first finding in the environment and experts have been in charge of keeping tables and examining the area with laser scanners. What is the real channel? Maybe The craziest dream From Felipe II, that one day, back in the 16th century, he wondered why he could not have Madrid his own port with the Atlantic. Sounds macarronic, but what the monarch had in mind was to imitate the model of locks and channels he had seen In Flanders and create a river route that connected Madrid with Aranjuez and then continue through the Tagus to Lisbon … and America. The project, huge, required a 600 km navigable route capable of saving 650 m slope, as Pedro Gargantilla requires in ABC. With honey on the lips. The project advanced and In 1584 Felipe II himself came to travel from Madrid to Aranjuez to verify in situ the progress of the company. However, neither its real effort, nor that of the engineer behind the project, Juan Bautista AntonelliNor the implication of the monarchs that followed Felipe II on the throne (especially Carlos III) served to make the structure reach the size with which the Austria dreamed. Stayed in a channel of 22 kilometers of extension (far from the initial objective), 14 meters wide and three of draft, with ten locks, header, jetty and houses for workers. Against the project they played several factors, in addition to their considerable technical complexity. The first varapalo was the death of Antonelli in 1588, which happened complications with financing, the distancing Politician with Portugal and, already advanced time, in the 19th century, the growing competition of the railroad, which caused the infrastructure Stay in disuse. That did not prevent the Royal Channel from remembered as an emblematic project whose remains, as Metro has verified, continue to rest under the feet of Madrid. What to do with the remains? The million dollar question. The wall has a heritage and historical value, that is clear, so it would not be unreasonable to do the same as in other stations and expose the vestiges in Madrid Río itself. But one thing is to remove and handle wood remains, small stones or metal parts and a very different manipulate a structure of several tons. How to move it? How to get it out of its original site without destroying it? The questions are brought because, like Andreu explains in ABCin the unearthed section the Royal Channel was about nine meters wide and 1.5 deep. “It was not very deep, it passed parallel to the Manzanares channel. The water flowed because it was built at the same water table of the river,” he recalls. Before the Brete of having to move that huge structure without deteriorating it, those responsible for the project made a curious decision: ‘look’ to ancient Egypt. “A very complicated order”. The company perhaps scared other archaeologists, but not Miguel Ángel López Marcoswith extensive experience in the recovery of the colossi of Amenophis III in Luxor and that it has already been involved in the ‘rescue’ of other pieces of the Madrid heritage, such as The last vestiges from the San Gil barracks. That callus and previous knowledge have helped him to face the Real Canal project, a task that admits, it was not simple. “The commission was very complicated by the situation of the wall embedded in the tunnel and the characteristics of the fragile and mechanical resistance,” account. Metal cage and steel rollers. How did he solve it? The first conclusion reached by López Marcos is that “the extraction should be in block.” “Disassembly would cause the disintegration of the wall, which does not have the necessary consistency,” Clarify The expert before pointing out that conventional engineering lacks resources to “guarantee” the conservation of that kind of structures. It is nothing new. The same challenge has already been found in Egypt, where he can often resort to heavy machinery that facilitates the task. To solve it López Marcos and his companions had to pull ingenuity. The team designed a protective cage, a shield that allowed it to dig under the structure and dispose of a base with steel bars. Everything firm enough to endure a 14 tons structure. Hydraulic beams and cats allowed them to advance the operation and descend the remains of the wall at a sufficient height to move it to a crane truck. To facilitate the movement of the cage with the stones the team also handled steel rollers. Objective: … Read more

A complicated summer can put the advances in recent months at risk

by

Experts tell us that we are faced with a new change in the weather tendency. After a first half of the extremely warm summer, the second half of June He gave us a respite based on a reduction in temperatures and several tormentous episodes concentrated in the north third and in the Mediterranean basin. Now this slight respite has the days counted: the heat will return strongly and the rainfall is expected below normal even for the summer. How is this affecting reservoirs? How are our reservoirs? The Last data of the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge indicate a slight decrease in the embalmed water in the Spanish swamps in the last week. The reservoirs have passed to be at 68.4% of its capacity to 67%. A fall is significant of more than one percentage point In a week it is significant even taking into account that we are in summer, more if we consider the fact that this has been a wet week in several areas of the Peninsula, such as the northern third, Catalonia or the Segura basin. The good news is that, despite this descent, the water reserve It is maintained Above the average in the last five and ten years, and also above its level now a year ago. Different trends. This does not mean that the rains have not been worth In hydrographic data: the internal basins of Catalonia and that of the Segura have been the only two that They have resisted the pull this week. The former have managed to maintain their level of filling at 77.5%; And the second has seen its swamps to increase in volume compared to the previous week, moving from an average filling of 28.7% to 28.8%. In contrast, the internal basins of the Basque Country went from being at 90.5% of its capacity at 85.4%. With regard to the big basins, they all lost water, but the decrease was more marked in the Ebro, whose swamps went from being at 77.5% of their capacity to being at 74.4%, below the Catalan basins. A complicated August. August does not seem aimed at bringing an improvement in the situation. Monthly predictions The State Meteorology Agency (AEMET) indicates that the weeks ahead will be warmer and drier than it would correspond to the first weeks of August. The anomaly in rainfall will be mild, but will affect most of the country over the next weeks. Regarding the anomaly at temperature this will be more irregular. While we can expect a thermal anomaly between three and five degrees in most of the country, next week it is possible that the East Peninsular will see temperatures even somewhat lower than normal for these dates.

Manu Rey is the clown of his group of friends: with a natural ability to make his colleagues laugh, but with no projection outside his intimate circle. Enough to become an influencer overnight? Many of his friends were convinced that yes, and demonstrated it. Influencer by surprise. The influencer Compostelana (this yes, with almost 100,000 followers too) Zoe García He had an illusion: his friend Manu Rey was famous on the Internet. He developed an exposure plan to his friend’s networks and the result has been around one hundred thousand followers on his Instagram account in record time. His friends, headed by Zoe, secretly exposed him, first as a joke and later as a relevant viral phenomenon of summer. In less than a month Manu has almost 100,000 followers On Instagram, to which they join More than 2500 on Tik Tok. 21 Instagram tricks – Tutorial with all secrets! Revelation. “He does not know that this account exists, but he deserves to follow him, because he is that person who deserves 100 % being famous,” said his friends. And the Internet seemed to coincide with them: after their infinite dip in swimming pools and dozenS, in just two weeks I had 30,000 followers, with videos that exceed four million views. His naturalness were undoubted They reveal what they have been doing. The importance of naturalness. The case of Manu Rey demonstrates some things about fame on the Internet. First, that the public appreciates above other characteristics the naturalness and “real being” in front of the camerawhich undoubtedly enters into contradiction with the Behavior of many celebrities. Spontaneity generates a feeling of authenticity that emotionally connects with the audience, especially with the youngest spectators. Collaborative fame. The idea of a person who becomes famous for the collaborative thrust of a group is something absolutely new and typical of the Internet era. Virality is not always a product of a single person: It can arise thanks to the active participation of communities that share, comment and recreate content. The Fans communities, Memes and digital subcultures drive these collaborative trends. @Manu__rey__ Day 19 uploading Manu videos until it finds out 😂 this can be Manu’s last video without being known and it is good that you can see how random it is and what it can do any day because if 😂 he does not know that he exists, but he deserves that you follow him because he is that person who deserves 100% that you do famous 🥹 ♬ Original sound – Manu Rey The fame of all. The fact that social platforms have a network structure (and hence their name), makes the content value increase according to more people share and reinvent it, that is, as collaborate in their creation.

A student from Girona set up his Cybercrime Office at home. His mistake was to show off his robberies on the Internet

by

A joint operation of Mossos d’Esquadra and National Police He has arrested a hacker in Roses (Girona) Responsible for several cyber attacks operating from a sophisticated technological network … in their own home. Why is it important. The detainee had managed to configure a technological network complex using anonymous applications that allowed him to hide his trail while attacked financial institutions, private companies and public bodies. The researchers discovered that the hacker, a young computer student with very advanced knowledge, stole personal databases of employees and clients, as well as confidential internal documents. Then he sold this information in forums of the Dark Web or published it without asking for anything in return. What has happened. The investigation started in May 2024, when the agents detected in a forum that someone presumed to have data from Spanish banks, a self -school and a public university. The same subject later claimed to have filtered the database of a Barcelona plumbing company. After an arduous discouragement of desanimization, the researchers located Roses’s address from where the attacks were launched. The subsequent investigations identified the inhabitants of the house, including the young computer student. In detail. During the record they seized: A laptop. A dozen mobile phones. Several hard drives. More than thirty SIM cards. Several bank cards in the name of different people. The detainee made available to the Court of Guard of Figueres for a crime of discovery and revelation of secrets. And now what. The investigation remains active to locate new victims and clarify all the scams that this person may have committed using stolen data to the affected entities.

The earthquake has revived the fear of a new Fukushima. This time, nuclear power plants are armed to teeth

by

The red tsunami alert issued on the coast of Japan after a strong earthquake in Russia has served as a raw reminder of the 2011 disaster. Japanese televisions cut their usual programming to show an unequivocal order in capital letters: “Tsunami! Evacuate!“The message, shouted in unison by the presenters, resonated with those of 14 years ago. But this time, the nuclear power plants were much better prepared. Context. For millions of Japanese, The scene that was lived this Wednesday It was too familiar. The collective memory immediately returned to March 11, 2011, when an earthquake of magnitude 9 unleashed a tsunami that not only charged about 20,000 lives, but caused the worst nuclear accident of the 21st century in the Fukushima central. Yesterday, the workers of the own Fukushima plant They suspended their tasks and evacuated the nuclear power plant towards higher land, knowing that nuclear safety has suffered a radical transformation. The global nuclear industry not only learned Fukushima’s lessons: it made them concrete, steel and new protocols on an unprecedented scale. The turning point. To understand the magnitude of the changes, we must remember what exactly failed in Fukushima-Daiichi. The disaster It was not caused directly by the earthquakebut for the tsunami that followed. Waves of up to 15 meters far exceeded the containment wall of the plant, flooding the emergency diesel generators and cutting all the plant power of the plant. Without capacity to refrigerate reactors, Three of the nuclei merged. The lesson was brutal: the security margins, designed for probable events, were insufficient before an extreme event. Fukushima was a global attention call that unleashed a regulatory and technical revolution. The paradigm shift is summarized in moving from a probabilist approach (designing for what is expected) to a total resilience (being ready for the unexpected). Not only in Japan. Immediately after the accident, regulators around the world launched A thorough review of its facilities, creating international frames to ensure that the lessons learned will be applied everywhere. China and the United States They promoted strategies so that all nuclear power plants can support an indefinite loss of energy. In Europe, all plants passed Stress tests against earthquakes, floods and total loss of security systems, forcing each country to implement a national action plan in case of finding defects. Gravelines, the largest nuclear power plant in France, reinforced his dike and added new gates Mobile Concrete and steel. Japanese centrals have been working like none, investing billions of dollars. They sealed all possible water input routes with stagnant doors, installed high capacity Achique pumps and built higher walls. Onagawa, the central closest to the 2011 epicenter, survived thanks to its 14 -meter wall. After Fukushima’s accident, the Tohoku Electric Power energy company did not walk with little girls and built A new 2 meter high dikealmost like a 10 -story building. Hamooka raised his breakwater 22 meters above sea leveland relocated the emergency diesel generators in a hill at 25 meters high. Tokai-2 raised A slope 1.7 kilometers longprepared to resist a wave of 17.1 meters. The reactors of the future. These lessons have also moved to the new designs of third and fourth generation reactors, including compact modular reactors (SMR), which incorporate them as standard. The AP1000 and its Chinese CAP-1000 derivative They can keep safe for 72 hours without any human intervention or external energy thanks to passive cooling systems that work by gravity and convection. The European EPR-2 includes double containment, a filtered vent system and A “Core-Catcher” Designed to contain the molten nucleus in the hypothetical case of an accident. And the Nuscale or the BWRX-300 of Gen-Hitachi can be installed as underground reactors, which makes them intrinsically immune to tsunamis and other surface disasters. A safer world. Wednesday’s Tsunami alert is a reminder that we are still at the mercy of nature. But also an opportunity to verify that, in the 14 years that have passed since Fukushima, the defenses of nuclear power plants have become a real fortress. The 2011 disaster was not in vain.
