The Paradox of Ambiguity 🤐
By never "testing" officially and never "declaring," Israel stays in a legal gray area that avoids automatic US sanctions under the Symington Amendment. It’s the world’s most successful "open secret."
Is secrecy a deterrent, or does it make the world more dangerous? Let’s discuss. 👇

In short: Espionage gave them the map, science provided the engine, and forced labor built the factory. 🏁
By 1949, the monopoly was over, and the nuclear arms race was officially in high gear.
What part of this "shortcut" to the bomb surprises you most? 🧪👇

Reflecting a unique era defined by Cold War paranoia and postwar optimism, Detroit once churned out candy-colored rocket ships for the highway that sported jet-age tailfins and polished chrome.

Let me tell you about an #AtomicAge monstrosity
It wasn't a #nuclear #missile, it was a nuclear *powered* missile. So it could fly almost forever
Do you see the teensy tiny problem?
The fucking thing constantly spewed nuclear #radiation
🤦
Luckily canceled
Constantly irradiating the atmosphere might be slightly bad huh?
Glad to put that in the dustbin of history
Right?
"Russia tested new nuclear-powered #Burevestnik cruise missile"
Fucking #Russia

Indulging my obsession with all things atomic-powered from the early nuclear age, here's the Saunders-Roe Princess, a turboprop flying boat that was to recreate the aerial sea routes used by BOAC before WWII once the war was over.
Delays made it obsolete by the time the prototype was complete (superseded by land-based jet airliners), but in the mid-50s it was mooted by the US Navy for fitting with a nuclear reactor, their answer to the USAF's NB-36H. It never happened, of course.

What Can We Learn From the Birth of the #NuclearEra?
By Eric Ross, #CommonDreams
August 3, 2025"In recent months, nuclear weapons have reemerged in global headlines. Nuclear-armed rivals #India and #Pakistan approached the brink of a full-scale war, a confrontation that could have become an extinction-level event, with the potential to claim up to 2 billion lives worldwide.
"The instability of a global order structured on nuclear apartheid has also come into sharp relief in the context of the recent attacks on #Iran by #Israel and the #UnitedStates. That system has entrenched a dangerous double standard, creating perverse incentives for the #proliferation of world-destroying weaponry, already possessed by nine countries. Many of those nations use their arsenals to exercise imperial impunity, while non-nuclear states increasingly feel compelled to pursue nuclear weapons in the name of national security and survival.
"Meanwhile, the largest nuclear powers show not the slightest signs of responsibility or restraint. The United States, #Russia, and #China are investing heavily in the 'modernization' and expansion of their arsenals, fueling a renewed arms race. And that escalation comes amid growing global instability contributing to a Manichean world of antagonistic armed blocs, reminiscent of the #ColdWar at its worst.
"The nuclear threat endangers not only global peace and security but the very continuity of the human species, not to speak of the simple survival of life on Earth. How, you might wonder, could we ever have arrived at such a precarious situation?
"The current crisis coincides with the 80th anniversary of the #TrinityTest, the first detonation of an atomic weapon that would soon obliterate the Japanese cities of #Hiroshima and #Nagasaki and so inaugurate the #AtomicAge. So many years later, it’s worth critically reassessing the decisions that conferred on humanity such a power of self-annihilation. After all, we continue to live with the fallout of the choices made (and not made), including those of the scientists who created the bomb. That history also serves as a reminder that alternative paths were available then and that another world remains possible today."

Did Ohio State figure out how to use Nuclear Waste from Old-Style Nuclear Reactors?
They claim they can get very small trickle power from Cesium-137 or Cobalt-60, nano-micro watts of power. Just enough to run a remote sensor.

📽️ "Cloak and Dagger," dir. Fritz Lang (Warner Bros., 1946), is good as a thriller and as a war film. Unfortunately, it never develops its initial premise, the international race to develop the atomic bomb.

TODAY! #Supai, #Ute, #Dine', #Lakota Testify on #Uranium #Exploitation before Inter-American Commission on #HumanRights
by Brenda Norrell, #CensoredNews
February 28, 2024WASHINGTON -- "The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights will hear testimony from Navajo, Ute, and #Oglala Lakota, on the impacts on #IndigenousPeoples' human rights from uranium exploitation in Washington on Feb. 28, 2024.
"'#NahasdzáánShimá — #MotherEarth—provides everything we need to keep us alive—the four things we Navajos talk about —air, water, soil, and light—and it is our home,' said #EdithHood, President, of #RedWaterPondRoadCommunityAssociation.
"'We have been living with this silent killer without knowing the dangers. Once the #mining started, after the drilling, we didn’t realize we were being contaminated.'
"'When we were children playing and herding sheep we didn’t understand we were being exposed to dangerous #radiation,' Hood said.
Hood thanked the commission for the hearing and added, "Our own #Tribalgovernment doesn’t listen to us.'"The #InterAmericanCommission on Human Rights agreed to hold a thematic hearing on how U.S. uranium exploitation policies have resulted in human rights abuses in Indigenous communities across the country. This coincides with an upsurge in #UraniumMining, said the #NewMexico #EnvironmentalLawCenter.
"'As the United States doubles down on the misguided notion that #NuclearPower is a solution to the #ClimateCrisis, the uranium development industry is beginning to benefit from generous #taxpayer giveaways to the nuclear industry as a whole.'
"'Subsidies from the #Biden administration have spurred uranium mining production to restart in at least 3 mines in the last few months, in #Utah, #Wyoming, and in Arizona near the #GrandCanyon. As has been the case since the dawn of the #AtomicAge, the impacts of uranium mining are largely left out of the debate over nuclear power.'
"#EnergyFuels said it is increasing U.S. uranium production as prices reach a 16-year high. Energy Fuels said in December that it is ramping up uranium production at three mines #PinyonPlain in in the Grand Canyon, and #LaSal and #Pandora uranium mines in southeastern #Utah.
"Ore mined from the three mines during 2024 will be stockpiled at the Energy Fuels #WhiteMesaMill in Utah for processing in 2025. It is also preparing two mines, #Whirlwind in southeastern Utah, and #NicholsRanch in central Wyoming, to begin uranium production within one year, Energy Fuels said.
"Pinyon Plain began uranium mining and is now threatening the water of the #Havasupai in their homeland in the Grand Canyon. The mine is now endangering Navajo, #Hopi, Ute, and southwest residents, on the uranium haul route, from the Grand Canyon to the Energy Fuels mill in southeastern Utah.
"The White Mesa Mill is poisoning the water, land, and air of White Mesa Utes in southeastern Utah. It is now bringing in #radioactive waste from Europe. Nuclear waste at the site was transported here from the Nuclear Test Site in Nevada because it was too deadly to leave there. The Nevada site poisoned the ancestral land of #WesternShoshone."

Sometimes Humans really scare me. I went to a small university in Socorro, New Mexico, USA. This was very near to the Trinity Test sight and also a very large military testing ground. So like one day my parents come down for Parents week and we're like let's go see the sight of the first Nuclear Detonation. I'm a scientist why not?
So we go in the middle of this desert in the middle of nowhere and they have exhibits. And we see this crockware at one of these exhibits. I have been interested in science for a long time. So I see this cookware in beautiful vibrant colors but I get this feeling that it's like looking at a poisonous snake or a frog or a wasp.
It's this beautiful green and beautifully worked but my training is flashing red alert. This is danger substance. It's 1950s cookware and it's made out of URANIUM Glass from the Trinity Test sight.
They explain it was all the rage to eat out of cookware from nuclear test sights until people started getting cancer from Auntie Marge's casseroles. It's like what are humans ACTUALLY? Like when they discovered XRays and Radium you could go to like the Fair and get pictures of your bones until once again people were getting cancer from slot machines.
Like we treat the radiocative capitalist weirdness of the Fallout Franchise like it's some dystopia but it just basically is reading history or even seeing US news after living in Europe for two years. Humans are truly absolutely terrifying sometimes. Coffee is good because it's poisonous? We enjoy spicy foods when that spice is a defense mechanism? Here, I'll serve it to you on cookware made from RADIOACTIVE material from world ending weapons in this house that's so nice and warm because we made it from asbestos. We'll just fill up on that water glass for ya from our new pipes made out of Lead.
We are all poor Jedediah that died drinking from that poisonous well.
