Video released of explosion at low-level radioactive waste facility https://t.co/NCBuDKPSbM via @YouTube we need to deal with these old dump sites ! the cost to fix this is way over a trillion dollars
Walt Kirchner of ACRS just confronted X-Energy about why the company is keeping the temperature of its TRISO fuel irradiation testing "proprietary" when it is critical for the public to understand the safety of its reactor with its lack of containment. They are hiding something.
Holtec is boasting about loading fuel into the Palisades #nuclear reactor in #Michigan, yet it just received 2 violations for failing to protect its workers from high airborne radiation levels. And we are supposed to trust them to keep the public safe ... https://t.co/e3nVBRd5B4
Excellent article in @Nature by Peter Fairley on the challenges to @NRCgov's status as an independent #nuclear safety regulator: https://t.co/zKLFhT5OsW
So let's do the math here for the @USArmy JANUS program. $2.2 billion of our money for 5 microreactors with a total power capacity of 32 MW-electric. That works out to a mere $68,750/kW. That makes the $15,000/kW Vogtle disaster look like pocket change.

Add Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA), Vice Chair of Senate Appropriations, to the list of folks who have been rebuffed by @NRCgov when requesting an extension to the comment period for its proposal to allow more Americans to get cancer from nuclear facilities. https://t.co/Pb27S1MxzX
Yesterday operators manually scrammed the St. Lucie-1 #nuclear reactor in #Florida at full power after three (!) control rods accidentally dropped into the core. The reactor is still down today.
Troubling development.
Of course, the fire does not have to reach the #nuclear reactor site to affect it ... if substations or transmission lines are damaged.
The IAEA has been informed by the Russian Federation that the ZNPP chief engineer was killed in a drone strike near the site today.
DG @rafaelmgrossi condemns the reported incident which he says represents an unacceptable attack on the plant and its management, seriously threatening nuclear safety.
The IAEA calls for an immediate end to all attacks on or near nuclear sites and their staff, DG Grossi says.
@fukumeltdowns@NucSafetyUCS you left out quite a lot of DEM O RAT activity and cheerleading towards nuclear boondoggling - they are energy policy swamp thing monsters
@NucSafetyUCS the damn nuclear stocks might be alkies ? getting hammered actually sounds pretty good today - I knew this whole thing would be a pump and dump shell game - fake fake fake renaissance 😆

Geez. #nuclear stocks are getting hammered today. X-energy is down by almost 50% from its IPO price. Great time for Holtec and Newcleo to go public ...
🚨 Dr. Anthony Fauci will publicly testify before the Senate Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee on July 29, 2026, at 10:00 AM.
Chaired by Sen. Rand Paul, the hearing will examine Fauci’s role in funding gain-of-function research (via EcoHealth Alliance grants) at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and questions about the origins of COVID-19.
This follows a subpoena after Fauci reportedly backed out of a voluntary appearance, amid newly declassified documents released by former DNI Tulsi Gabbard.
Sen. Rand Paul:
“Anthony Fauci has obfuscated his role in funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab… On July 29, 2026, we will confront him with the truth. The American people deserve the truth once and for all.”
Fauci has repeatedly denied wrongdoing in prior testimony.
What do you expect to come out of this? Who thinks it will be just another big, fat nothing burger? 👇
December 2025: Jack Smith swore under oath that he didn't spy on text messages belonging to members of Congress.
Today: New evidence confirms he spied on dozens of members of Congress, myself included.
This is a blatant abuse of power, and exactly what our Founders warned about.
On June 29 the Curium radioisotope facility in #Indiana experienced another contamination event when a technician dropped a vial containing 6.53 curies of lutetium chloride. The count rate on the pants, shoes, and socks of the technician went off the instrument scale.
