  7. #Trump's rush to build #nuclear reactors across the U.S. raises safety worries

    December 17, 2025

    "Critics, however, worry that the tight July 4 deadline, political pressure and a lack of transparency are all compromising safety. Even a 'small' release of #radioactive material could cause damage to #people and the #environment around the test sites.

    "This is not normal, and this is not OK, and this is not going to lead to success," warned #AllisonMacfarlane, a professor at the University of British Columbia who served as chairman of the #NRC under President Barack Obama. 'This is how to have an accident.' "

  20. From Jan 7
    Faculty at #TexasAM #University were told this week that roughly 200 courses in the #College of Arts & Sciences could be affected by a new system policy restricting classroom discussions of #race & #gender, the implementation of which has already led administrators to direct a #philosophy professor to remove #Plato readings from a core course.

  21. The #TexasAM system’s regents — all of them appointed by Gov #GregAbbott, a #Republican — approved the restrictive policies late last year, & officials have been scrambling since then to interpret & enforce them. Supporters contend that the rules are appropriate measures to prevent political ideologies, especially those often associated with the left, from entering classrooms. Opponents say the approach encourages self-#censorship & is itself ideological.

  22. #TexasAM #University said Friday that it would end its #women’s & #gender studies program, & that the syllabuses for hundreds of courses had been altered under new policies limiting how #race & gender ideology may be discussed in classrooms.

    The university said that 6 courses had been canceled entirely because of the new rules, out of the ~5,400 that were planned for this semester at one of the nation’s largest #public #universities.

  23. #TexasAM Ends #WomensStudies & Overhauls Classes Over #Race & #Gender

    [this on top of the bizarre ban on the #philosophy department from teaching #Plato — seriously]

    New policies limiting the teaching of race & gender issues led administrators & professors to change hundreds of courses. #School leaders say the rules could hurt A&M’s reputation. [ya think?]
