The post no longer appears on Trump’s social media account.

#Trump did not say in the statement if he sought to discourage #Putin from attacking #Ukraine. The White House did not respond to a question inquiring if Trump pushed back against Putin. He rather expressed optimism over the prospect of working with Putin on another #ForeignPolicy priority: deterring #Iran’s #nuclear capabilities.

#Trump reserves special animosity, though, for the leader of the country that was invaded in the first place. Trump has told aides repeatedly that #Zelensky is a “bad guy” who is edging the world to the precipice of #nuclear #war [a war started by #Putin & #Russia]. But he has at other times told advisers that it is understandable that Zelensky is fighting back, given that he is in a war against an enemy who seems determined to keep bombing Ukrainian cities.

“The ultimate cost of cleaning up Sellafield, which contains waste from weapons programmes and atomic power generation, has been estimated at £136bn and could take more than 100 years.”

CEA: Une histoire spatiale qui commence en 1959

Pour traquer les poussières radioactives liées aux essais nucléaires, le CEA embarque un compteur Geiger dans un missile. À 100 km d’altitude, surprise : des rayons gamma viennent d’au-dessus. C’est le début de l’astrophysique au CEA.

BREAKING NEWS: Trump ordered the nation’s independent nuclear regulatory commission to cut down on regulations and fast-track new licenses for reactors and power plants on Friday.

In unrelated news, the Russians did the same thing with Chernobyl.

A question: if there was a cataclysm like in "Station Eleven" where 99% of humanity was wiped out, what would happen to #nuclear reactors and weapons? Are there doomsday scenarios for power plants in the event of something happening to the humans? Could such a site be decommissioned manually? How long would such a site last before it is dangerous?

The first person I thought to ask is @bojacobs but would love boosts for more thoughts!

Chinese scientists can extract uranium from seawater at $83 USD/kg, previous cost was $205 per kg, while spot price of uranium currently is around $150 per kg. This would make uranium extraction economical for long term nuclear power.

"A Russian Shahed drone... is estimated to have inflicted tens of millions worth of damage to the site of the Chornobyl nuclear power plant"
"The strike in mid February... significantly damaged the €1.5bn containment structure... and is likely to take months if not years to completely repair"

China is leading the world in operational nuclear power capacity with 113 million kilowatts, surpassing the US and France, according to a report released at the Spring International Forum on Sustainable Nuclear Energy Development. The country plans to expand its nuclear energy industry and has approved the construction of 10 new reactors, with a combined investment of over 200 billion yuan.

An analysis by independent think tank Climate Energy Finance found the Coalition’s #nuclear plan would cost the Australian economy at least $4.3 trillion by 2050 attributed to the hollowing out of Australian industry, permanently higher total energy costs, uncosted unabated carbon pollution and trillions of dollars in lost GDP.
