Beyond Nuclear

Things are falling apart pretty rapidly in small modular reactor world. They haven't even had their bubble yet and it's already bursting. Stocks plummeting, no reactors under construction, investigations for securities fraud. Great "renaissance" so far. beyondnuclearinternational.org/2026/10/25/p...

PAYWALLED: "The poison is the legacy of decades of corporate greed and government indifference." If the NRC gets to release radioactive materials into trash and consumer waste streams, we will get more of this...see protectbetter.org/below-regulatory-concern-on-steroids to push back.

There have been a few key missed opportunities for world peace. 40 years ago in Iceland the Cold War cold have melted. We should have been at zero #nuclear weapons in the world by now. Instead, the nuclear armed nations are ramping up. beyondnuclearinternational.org/2026/10/18/a...

Without consulting residents or local officials, Gov. Patrick Morrisey’s energy office submitted a detailed pitch to the Trump administration offering [West Virginia] sites for a potential “Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campus.” The backlash was intense. www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

Trump is personally invested financially in the nuclear power industry. Billions are at stake. Holtec needs Palisades to open ASAP.

This expedited license amendment process introduces more uncertainty and unnecessary risk with less transparency, potentially impacting worker and public safety only to benefit Holtec Palisade arbitrary refueling and restart schedule.

As most of us immersed in the nuclear issue know well, there is little else so far that quite so starkly illustrates the fool’s errand that is the stubborn pursuit of small modular reactors than the sorry tale of NuScale.

The New England governors, who recently gathered at UMASS Lowell for a nuclear energy “summit”, claim there is a crisis. There is, but our climate emergency won't be fixed with slow, expensive, dangerous #nuclear power and its unsolved waste problem. beyondnuclearinternational.org/2026/10/03/g...

Work has begun to empty radioactive & hazardous chemical waste from the 25th underground tank at Hanford. After removing waste from tank A-103 located in 200 East, DOE will switch its focus to emptying single-shell tanks in 200 West Area. @tri-cityherald.com www.tri-cityherald.com/news/local/h...

Trump has not stopped clean energy! By the end of his first 18 months in office, fossil fuels + nuclear capacity grew by 0.3% but battery energy storage doubled; solar ballooned by >30%; wind expanded by 8%; renewables' share of electrical output rose from 22% to 29%. urjadaily.com/renewable-en...

Uranium enrichment? or Trump enrichment?

The SMR “renaissance” is more sound and fury, signifying nothing.

The Trump administration is quietly considering proposals for at least a dozen data centers and related infrastructure projects on public lands across six Western states: www.washingtonsun.com/climate-envi...

Saving industry money at the expense of health and climate.

More bad news for the nuclear scammers this week. I was wondering why there was no visible nuclear plant construction going on months after Terrapower got a construction permit. www.bizjournals.com/washington/n...

At today's NRC Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards meeting on the Long Mott pebble-bed reactor application, member Dave Petti revealed that the similar Chinese HTR-PM experienced breakage of some of its non-fuel graphite pebbles because of manufacturing defects. Hadn't heard that one before.
