Researchers build #WiFi chip that can operate inside a #nuclearreactor — receiver uses special materials and design to withstand high doses of #radiation for at least 6 month
Chip was primarily designed to allow #robots to work in contaminated areas for decommissioning #nuclear reactors. Regular silicon #semiconductors used for wireless communication are susceptible to interference from nuclear radiation, meaning robots are limited by physical cable needed to control them https://www.tomshardware.com/networking/routers/researchers-build-wi-fi-chip-that-can-operate-inside-a-nuclear-reactor-receiver-uses-special-materials-and-design-to-withstand-high-doses-of-radiation-for-at-least-six-months -
#NuclearReactor Backed by #BillGates Gets Federal Approval
#TerraPower’s project in #Wyoming, which uses novel technology, is the first new commercial reactor to receive federal approval in decade.
TerraPower design, which it calls #Natrium developed with GE Hitachi, has several novel features. Probably most notable of these is the use of liquid #sodium for cooling and heat transfer.
Plant won’t be done until 2030 at the earliest, and it still needs an operating license.

We have finally achieved the 1950s #PopularScience dream of a flying #NuclearReactor! (If we ignore the fact that the reactor wasn't actually running or doing anything at all while in the air.)

Hmm, apparently they flew a (small?!) nuclear reactor from March AFB to Utah yesterday. I wonder where those nuclear reactors are being built in Riverside County?

Trump admin has secretly changed the rules for nuclear reactor safety.
NPR reports that Dept of Energy is rushing to build three experimental nuclear reactors by July 4th. A series of documents containing safety regulations for reactors has been pared down to one third its original size. None of the documents are available to the public.
He is going to kill us all.

👀 Look out, North Wales! The UK thinks it's a grand idea to put a tiny nuclear reactor right in your backyard. Because nothing says "job creation" like potentially glowing in the dark 🌟.

What do Pictish stones, a Lego broch, and a nuclear reactor control room have in common? They all live in a wonderfully eclectic museum in #Thurso.
The North Coast Visitor Centre explores all things #Caithness, from fossils to contemporary art.

#MoltenSalt #nuclearreactor slated to power #Google #datacenters in #2030
More than 60 years after first demos of this tech, #Kairos will bring it back to #OakRidge
The small modular reactor startup, along with the #TennesseeValleyAuthority (TVA), one of the largest utilities in the country, aim to bring 50 megawatts of #nuclear power to #Tennessee. https://www.theregister.com/2025/08/18/google_smr_datacenters/ -
It is not clear what the #NuclearReactor will power. A reactor would be useful for long-term stays on the #moon, but #NASA’s plans do not specify when a base might be built https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/science/nasa-moon-nuclear-reactor.html

We live in a world where the country with over 200 nuclear weapons, who refuses to sign the #NPT, does not allow #IAEA to inspect it's nuclear facilities and been involved in nuclear proliferation multiple times in the past is allowed to bomb a research nuclear reactor under IAEA inspection risking spread of radiation without any strong reaction from the "world" leaders.

Israeli evacuation threat targets area around Iran’s Arak heavy-water nuclear reactor
As part of negotiations around the 2015 deal, Iran agreed to sell off its heavy water to Western countries. Even the US purchased some 32 tonnes of heavy water for more than $8m in one deal.
IAEA inspectors reportedly last visited Arak on May 14.

I think I must be missing something, with all the news I've heard, and read, about Israel/US, dropping bombs, and firing missiles, at a nuclear plant, I've not heard anyone mention anything about nuclear fallout.
Surly bombs, missiles, or anything explosive, does not bode well, at a nuclear power station/reactor/plant?

End of #nuclear in #Taiwan fans energy security fear
Taiwan will turn off last #nuclearreactor, fuelling concerns over island reliance on imported energy and vulnerability to blockade by #China. Nuclear power once provided jalf of Taiwan's energy, with three plants operating six reactors across an island that's 394 km (245 mi) long and 144 km (89 mi) wide. Island depends almost entirely on imported #fossilfuels to power homes, factories & critical #semiconductor industry.

By all means, keep the policy that people hate. Even the people who like the idea of nuclear reactors hate the idea of them being built in their neighbourhood or their spent fuel being stored nearby.

A hole in protective shell over the Chernobyl reactor poses risks.
For weeks, the Ukrainian authorities have been looking for ways to repair a large hole in the protective shell that covers the fourth reactor of the decommissioned Chernobyl nuclear plant. When it was erected in 2019, the giant shell was one of the biggest structures ever moved by humans.
On 14 February, a Russian drone hit the structure.
