US nuclear power regulator phases out agency-led commando drills at plants The U.S. nuclear power regulator voted last week to phase out agency-led ​security inspections at operating reactors, a move a safety advocate said ‌represents a failure in the government's responsibi...

These drills were already a take-home test. The plant operators were given the day, time and attack plan in advance. Most of the time the "mock" attackers still took over the nuke. But in the Trump era, if you can't pass a safety test, then you just abolish it. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

NRC approves new regulatory pathway for next-generation reactors The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's "Part 53" is the first rewrite of licensing rules in three decades.

After all the PR puff, the last sentence is what counts. "...TerraPower’s design uses sodium, which is flammable when exposed to water ... While the basic technology is used for plants in Russia, most sodium reactors to date have had one or several fires." www.eenews.net/articles/nrc...

Nuclear company now says a Kansas 1-mile underground reactor might not happen The company and Kansas officials hailed the plan in Dec. to build a reactor by July 4. Deep Fission now says it’s only committed to drilling test wells and it’s unclear if a reactor will be completed.

Marjorie Reynolds, is a registered nurse and the president of Prairie Dog Alliance, a local group that informs residents about the nuclear reactor project. “My fear is that this project will not work and then... they're going to encapsulate nuclear waste and fill up the borehole with it.

A ‘Great British Nuke-off’ in Wales? Britain’s pick for SMRs isn’t quite so British after all

Rolls-Royce wants to build reactors in Wales. The UK government claims nuclear power is “clean, secure, homegrown energy,” but in reality it is none of these. The reactors aren't small and rely on uranium mined overseas and will produce waste not work.

The Relentless Nightmare of Fukushima, 15 Years On Nine countries now possess nuclear weapons and we have just seen the start of a new war in the Middle East over one more nation supposedly trying to acquire them. While we consider the dangers of such...

The operators and regulators at Fukushima were wholly unprepared for what unfolded on that fateful day in 2011. Likewise, no one can guarantee that nuclear plants or radioactive storage tanks are safe in war zones, or that the rivers and lakes needed to cool reactors globally won’t one day run dry.

Deader than a doornail False promises about jobs and lower rates belie nuclear reality

The costs of new nuclear power plants are ballooning to extremes, leading to the highest electricity rates ever. Smaller reactors, because of design uncertainties and poor economies of scale, promise to deliver even pricier electricity. beyondnuclearinternational.org/2026/03/15/d...
