That's a potent mixture! 😬

Since Hungary’s election last Sunday, I’ve been soul-searching for any analogy that matches the unbridled joy I witnessed.

Nothing comes close. Pure, overwhelming jubilation after 16 long years — in my adoptive home, and the land of my forefathers.

A 1.9 billion-year-old bedrock will soon house the world's first permanent nuclear waste site The world-first facility for permanently disposing spent nuclear fuel is set to begin operations in Finland after decades of construction.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

The reason that the US President has the exclusive authority to order the use of nuclear weapons is because Truman set up the system along those lines after WWII. This is often depicted as either a power grab, or because in the nuclear age such decisions "must" be made quickly. This is false.

A New Oil Shock Accelerates a Return to Nuclear Power

The New York Times: A New Oil Shock Accelerates a Return to Nuclear Power. Shocks to natural gas supplies are spurring countries in Asia and elsewhere to rethink their rejection of nuclear energy. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/b... #energy #energysecurity #nuclear #nuclearenergy

"If you're on the left, the way to get clicks is to bash someone on the left." - et tu, David Roberts

Clarifying the statutory definition of “high-level radioactive waste” (HLW) could help DOE save tens of billions of dollars in nuclear cleanup costs, including for treatment and disposal of ~90 million gallons of waste stored in underground tanks.

On the Birth of A Son

#worldpoetryday
Families when a child is born
Hope it will turn out intelligent.
I, through intelligence
Having wrecked my whole life,
Only hope that the baby will prove
Ignorant and stupid.
Then he'll be happy all his days
And grow into a cabinet minister.

Your electricity bill keeps rising. Here's what's actually causing it—and how to fix it | Fortune Retail electricity prices are climbing faster than inflation, and the most popular political fixes would make things worse.

"No single policy will bring immediate relief. But one central driver of rising bills is a regulatory model that protects monopolies, limits customer choice, and rewards overspending while deterring innovation." Great piece by @joshuamacey.bsky.social:

What do new nuclear reactors mean for waste? New designs mean new strategies for managing spent fuel.

As new nuclear designs emerge, they could introduce new wrinkles for nuclear waste management.

Why the world doesn’t recycle more nuclear waste Spent fuel reprocessing sounds great, but experts say we haven’t figured out the details.

In nuclear energy, figuring out what to do with waste has always been a challenge, since the material needs to be dealt with carefully. Spent fuel reprocessing sounds great, but experts say we haven’t figured out the details.

Europe needs homegrown, low-carbon energy sources.

Nuclear & renewables together have a key role to play.

Nuclear energy is available around the clock, providing electricity all year.

Europe has been a pioneer in nuclear technology.

And can lead again
