  • Fukushima Toxic Dumping

    Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant is the world’s leading epicenter of toxic radioactive water released into the ocean. Yet, these activities are no longer closely monitored by mainstream media. As it happens, Tokyo Electric Power Company is the electric utility that manages the decommissioning of the collapsed nuclear reactors. This controversial ongoing release of radioactive […]

  • Dutton’s Quixotic Proposal: Nuclear Lunacy Down Under

    Politics and facts are not necessarily good dinner companions.  Both often stray from the same table, taking up with other, more suitable company.  The Australian opposition leader, Peter Dutton, has never been discomforted by facts, preferring the chimera-like qualities demagoguery offers.  His vision for Australia is admirably simple and simplistic. In foreign policy, he supports […]

  • Three Injured in Ukrainian Attack on Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant

    Three Injured in Ukrainian Attack on Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant

    FILE PHOTO. ©  STRINGER / AFP Multiple explosive-laden Ukrainian drones targeted the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant on Sunday, hitting several parts of the facility, Russia’s nuclear energy agency Rosatom said in a statement. At least three employees were injured in the attack, the agency added. According to a Telegram post by the facility’s Russian management, […]

  • Nuclear Energy Everywhere Costs an Arm and a Leg

    It crackles like a Geiger counter in a uranium mine: in 2023, Emmanuel Macron announced plans for six additional EPR [European Pressurized Reactor] nuclear power plants. Hang on, no, perhaps fourteen in the long term. In reviving nuclear in the name of the struggle against global warming, the European Union has followed suit. Japan is […]

  • Mistakes, Misfiring and Trident: Britain’s Flawed Nuclear Deterrence

    Nuclear weapons are considered the strategic silverware of nation states.  Occasionally, they are given a cleaning and polishing.  From time to time, they go missing, fail to work, and suffer misplacement.  Of late, the UK Royal Navy has not been doing so well in that department, given its seminal role in upholding the doctrine of […]

  • Einstein’s Postwar Campaign to Save the World from Nuclear Destruction

    Einstein’s Postwar Campaign to Save the World from Nuclear Destruction

    Although the popular new Netflix film, Einstein and the Bomb, purports to tell the story of the great physicist’s relationship to nuclear weapons, it ignores his vital role in rallying the world against nuclear catastrophe. Aghast at the use of nuclear weapons in August 1945 to obliterate the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Einstein threw […]

  • A Merry AUKUS Surprise, Western Australia!

    The secretive Australian government just cannot help itself.  Clamouring and hectoring of other countries and their secret arrangements (who can forget the criticism of the Solomon Islands over its security pact with China for that reason?) the Albanese government is a bit too keen on keeping a lid on things regarding the withering away of […]

  • Flirting With Nuclear Energy Down Under

    It was a policy that was bound to send a shiver through the policymaking community.  The issue of nuclear energy in Australia has always been a contentious one.  Currently, the country hosts a modest nuclear industry, centred on the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), nuclear medicine and laboratory products.  But even this has […]

  • 20,000 Toxic Sites in Sagging Arctic Permafrost

    20,000 Toxic Sites in Sagging Arctic Permafrost

    “Massive Permafrost Thaw Documented in Canada, Portends Huge Carbon Release”, Bob Berwyn, February 28, 2017 (Credit: Wikimedia) New studies show the Arctic heating up 4-times the overall rate of global warming. This startling rate in one of the most sensitive environments in the world could trigger toxic disasters in up to 20,000 industrial contamination sites. […]

  • Fukushima up Close, 13 Years Later

    The world is turning to nuclear power as a solution to global warming, but it is postulated herein that it is a huge mistake that endangers society. One nuclear meltdown causes as much damage over the long-term as a major war. Moreover, according to Dr. Paul Dorfman, chair of the Nuclear Consulting Group, former secretary […]
