An important moment in Iceland when the Cold War could have melted away. It didn't.
There have been a few key missed opportunities for world peace and this was one of them. 40 years ago. We should have been at zero #nuclear weapons in the world by now. Instead, the nuclear armed nations are ramping up. beyondnuclearinternational.o…
Bought? Corrupt? Just not very bright? Why have New England governors just made the worst energy choice for their states?
Not now, VOYGR and probably never. It's highly unlikely that NuScale's VOYGR ever materialize. It really couldn't go much worse and other SMR projects sailing behind this "flagship" should heed the warnings before hitting the rocks.

Why would you deliberately delay progress on the climate crisis by choosing to prioritize the most expensive, slowest way to address it? #Nuclear will worsen affordability by raising electricity rates and won't get here for years, depriving job opportunities to tens of thousands
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.

Is Trump's Saudi #nuclear deal about #uranium enrichment or self-enrichment? Inquiring US senators (and the rest of us) want to know. beyondnuclearinternational.o…
We must not ignore the negative impacts on nature and wildlife of #nuclear power expansion. @WildlifeTrusts calls this out. beyondnuclearinternational.o…

The Dept of Energy wants to store nuclear waste from California and Washington in Idaho in perpetuity.
They're calling it a "Nuclear Innovation Lifecycle Hub".
That's a fancy name for nuclear waste ☢️ dump.

More #nuclearrenaissance news. US flagship small modular reactor project #NuScale collapsed in 2003, 18 years in after hemorrhaging $800 million of mostly taxpayer money. Now it's selling $750 million in shares after a second 1/4 revenue of $75,000.

Heatwave hell could lead to nuclear hell as well, because without access to cooling water, nuclear power plants eventually go into meltdown (yes, even when shut down.) nuclearcosts.org/heatwave-he… @Hastings_Group
Check out No to Nuclear book tour stops near you soon -- MA, NY, CT, CA. beyondnuclear.org/no-to-nucl… @PlutoPress Find out why #nuclear power destroys lives, derails climate progress and makes nuclear war more likely and why it's the other "evil twin" riding the data center coattails.
There's nothing to be bullish about for the small modular #nuclear reactor guys, no matter how inflated their rhetoric. That hissing sound is due to some pretty painful headlines and a big “meh” from Wall Street. beyondnuclearinternational.o…
"lossmaking and have little or no revenue." "growing concerns over the lack of immediate revenue and the long build-out timelines for the technology." It's "The Small Short" with the modular #nuclear reactor fantasy backfiring badly beyondnuclear.org/the-small-…
You'd think dynamiting the Danube, turning off reactors, dried up rivers, wildfire smoke near Sizewell B and the reality of more intense heat, fires and droughts, would nail the coffin lid closed on new nuclear power plant plans? Nope. Dumb and reckless.

If you missed the discussion between Beyond Nuclear's Linda Pentz Gunter and UBC's Dr. M.V. Ramana about our books and the state of the (nuclear) world, hosted by the @TheCharter (Charter For Compassion), you can now watch it all here. youtu.be/UKBw-Duf3p0?si=JIZz…
We've just commemorated 81 years since the unecessary, immoral, experimental and racist bombing of #Hiroshima and #Nagasaki. So why are the #nuclear armed nations rushing to increase their arsenals? Lawrence Wittner offers some thoughts. beyondnuclearinternational.o…
Everyone should watch A Short Vision, released in 1956 and as true today as then -- a powerful warning in just 6 minutes of simple but beautiful animations. The filmmakers made it on their kitchen table, a reminder that we don't need AI. @M_Star_Online morningstaronline.co.uk/arti…
Part one of a four-part serialization of excerpts from Beyond Nuclear ED Linda Pentz Gunter's book -- No to Nuclear -- in The Morning Star morningstaronline.co.uk/arti…
Linda Pentz Gunter, ED of Beyond Nuclear and Maurice Carney, ED of Friends of the Congo @congofriends will discuss #Hiroshima and the #Congogenocide, human rights, Indigenous communities, #uranium and Linda's book. Busboys and Poets, 14th and V, Aug 9 at 5pm-7pm.
This is what's happening -- solar and wind soaring; nuclear power stagnating -- compared to what you keep hearing ("it's the new, improved nuclear renaissance!") Thanks to a good analysis from @DaveToke and republished on Beyond Nuclear International. beyondnuclearinternational.o…
Oral histories conducted with atomic vets gives the lie to the "official" version of events. Atomic vets are still struggling to get recognition and compensation for the radiation exposures they were subjected to, both during atomic tests and "cleanup". beyondnuclearinternational.o…
