There is no zero risk when you’re exposed to radiation, even the smallest amounts of exposure can cause damage. Really what they’re doing is shifting the cost of dealing with radioactive pollution from themselves to us—at the cost of our health.

The State Department has quietly erased part of the historical record about one of the Cold War’s most perilous moments—without saying why. Asked why the deletion wasn’t explained, a spokesperson replied that “the Department was not required to provide public notice.”

Instead of making us more energy independent, operating TMI-1 would make us more dependent on Russian uranium. It’s not the answer to Pennsylvania’s energy needs; it’s a cost center, a resource drain, a morass of risk, and it’s needless.

There may be no actual nuclear warhead aboard, but the recent US 'test' of an ICBM is still a provocation, argue Defuse Nuclear War and TriValley CAREs because the purpose is to practice nuclear war fighting beyondnuclearinternational.org/2025/11/09/u...

Trump's threat to test #nuclear weapons, plus the new film 'A House of Dynamite', deliver opportunities to the nuclear disarmament movement to land our message loud and clear. We are only safe without nuclear weapons in our world. beyondnuclearinternational.org/2025/11/09/s...

Did President Trump really mean the US would resume nuclear testing? Because no one else has. Or did he mean testing non-nuclear armed missiles and delivery systems, which the US is already doing? Our take on the dangerous confusion he’s sowing. beyondnuclearinternational.org/2025/10/31/t...

In a post to Truth Social, Trump said “because of other countries’ testing programs, I have instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons..." In response, the Nevada congresswoman Dina Titus posted on X: “Absolutely not. I’ll be introducing legislation to put a stop to this.”

On October 21, a Palisades employee fell into the flooded reactor cavity, ingested radioactive water, and despite decontamination, suffered internal and external exposures. Another Holtec worker was doused and dosed some years ago at Oyster Creek, New Jersey.

On December 31, the Trump White House will start giving away between 20-25 tons of free plutonium to startup reactor companies, going against US energy policy that has long avoided transfer of nuclear weapons-usable materials into the commercial sector beyondnuclearinternational.org/2025/10/26/r...

TUNE IN: Audio Live Stream @ 9:30 AM EST October 30 This “Petition for Judicial Review” challenges the NRC and industry refusal to analyze both the adverse impacts of climate change and advanced material aging in commercial power reactors that unacceptably raises severe accident risks.

“From the beginning, residents started asking [Radiant] about safety, radioactive waste, and who would be responsible if something went wrong. Instead of answers, we got rehearsed lines..." and local officials started ignoring community voices. Now Radiant is leaving WY and heading to Tennessee...

In May, President Donald Trump issued a series of executive orders to consider dramatically weakening NRC's radiation protection standards. The new standard could allow four out of five people exposed over a 70-year lifetime to develop a cancer they would not otherwise get.

“Starving the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board of the resources and manpower it needs all but guarantees that our country will experience more accidents,” said Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., who helped bring the Hanford whistleblowers’ concerns to Congress in 2011.

Research has shown that SMRs create 2 to 30 times greater volumes of nuclear waste. The cost of new nuclear reactors, whether traditional reactors or SMRs, is substantially higher than renewable energies. Article may be paywalled.

The boom in nuclear rhetoric ignores overwhelming evidence that nuclear is a bad risk. Only 2 U.S. reactors were completed in the last 30 years, costing $35 billion+. Huge cost overruns sank NuScale and its SMR. Meanwhile, the regulatory regime is in free fall. thehill.com/opinion/ener...
