Hanford is the most radiologically contaminated place in North America:

Many living nearby the site only found out there had been a partial meltdown when the Woolsey Fire burned through areas contaminated with radionuclides from the meltdown and cleanup in 2018. Here is an original local news story from the time:

Remembering the partial nuclear reactor meltdown in suburban Los Angeles in 1959:

Nuclear power plants are dependent on stable water temperatures. They will not save us from global warming:

NukeBros cite China as where #NuclearPower is expanding, however:

"China connected one reactor to the grid in 2023—one gigawatt. In the same year, they connected, and the numbers vary, but over 200 gigawatts of solar alone. Solar power generates more electricity in China than #nuclear power since 2022. And, of course, wind power generates more than nuclear power in China for a decade already"

Watching coverage on the BBC, as they show the candidates in various constituencies I'm seeing far less wacky candidates in fancy dress than British comedies have led me to believe are present in such situations.

"Japan, US activists condemn secret transfer of nuclear waste to uranium mill near tribal lands.

136 tonnes of waste was shipped from Japan to Energy Fuels’ uranium mill, a facility less than 2km from Utah’s Bears Ears National Monument"

Cold War Fairy Tales from the 1950s:

Students in many school districts in the United States were issued dog tags so that their bodies could be easily identified after a nuclear attack.

Nuclear reminder:

When you hear discussion of "tactical nuclear weapons," the weapons used to attack #Hiroshima and #Nagasaki fall under our definition of tactical nuclear weapons.

Global warming is shutting down nuclear, not the other way around:

"High river temperatures to limit French nuclear power production"

This is the second summer in a row that French nukes are being taken offline because higher water temperatures make it impossible to cool the reactors and the spent fuel.

@nellgreenfieldboyce The only thing missing from the story, which is very good, is to include where the spent nuclear fuel is, and what the plan is to "contain" it for millennia. This will far outlive the ship and its design goodies.

@Aglaia89 @RichStein @nellgreenfieldboyce the dream may not be true but they are still selling it to get subsidies and support for SMRs
