$1.5 trillion military budget request

Iran's right to the bomb?

Nuclear power was born as a public relations afterthought of manufacturing nuclear weapons. It should remain an afterthought.

A rogue government pretty much doing away with any last barriers against nuclear disaster. www.commondreams.org/news/nuclear...

Thanks to Nuclear The Nuclear Resister and Our House for this story. Polish monk Grzegorz Gawel was arrested in Belarus and charged with acquiring sensitive papers about the stationing of Russian nuclear weapons in Belarus, something Poland denies. beyondnuclearinternational.org/2026/02/01/p...

An all-out nuclear war might well be suicidal for humanity; indeed, for most life forms. With a major nuclear exchange there would be many detonations, killing billions of people. As the fallout spreads, billions more would sicken and die a slower death from radiation poisoning.

DOE loosens safety rules for new reactors.

Let's remember that most of our politicians are just as dumb north of the border as they are here in the disUnited States of America. Nuclear to extract oil from the tar sands? And the usual bunk about small modular reactors, here roundly DE-bunked! beyondnuclearinternational.org/2026/01/18/t...

The action emphasized oncerns about safety and a $33 billion ratepayer subsidy to keep four aging reactors in upstate New York operating for another 20 years.

The NRC is loaded up with yes-men and everything is on a recklessly accelerated pace now to license reactors that are labeled "dangerous" by anyone who actually understands the technology and cares about public safety. Be afraid. Be very afraid. beyondnuclearinternational.org/2026/01/15/a...

This isn't cleanup a plan, it's a recontamination scheme. "More than 500 abandoned uranium mines contaminate the #Navajo Nation, but cleanup must be grounded in strict environmental oversight, transparency, and full community consultation." beyondnuclearinternational.org/2026/01/11/n...

The nuclear disarmament movement does not command the kinds of turnouts we saw at the height of the Cold War and yet arguably the threat of nuclear war is greater now than ever. How can we turn that around, asks M.V. Ramana beyondnuclearinternational.org/2026/01/04/t...

Thorium reactors: Game-changer or Hype?

Residential proximity to nuclear plants in Massachusetts is associated with elevated cancer risks...underscoring the need for continued epidemiologic monitoring amid renewed interest in nuclear energy.

Customs officials in Malta are being credited with stopping a potentially dangerous shipment after a routine container inspection revealed unexpected — and alarming — traces of radiation. The discovery...highlights the growing challenge of keeping radioactive materials out of consumer supply chains.

Warren, Garamendi call for pause, review of nuclear bomb-building plan. "This program is already years behind schedule and over budget," Warren told USA TODAY, adding that she and Garamendi hope to spark "a vigorous review" of the project's "years of waste and mismanagement." tinyurl.com/ya4tjajh

“It seems like it’s not an immediate fix...So that leaves us with a lot of questions,” ...such as “what are we going to do for the next five years, or the next 10 years, or however long it takes” before nuclear power can serve the energy needs of the data centers.

In 2020, a storm toppled two cooling towers at nuclear plant Duane Arnold in IA, shutting it down. “It wasn’t until we went outside afterwards that we realized that the cooling towers were gone,”. Now they want to reopen it in tornado country for data centers.

Nuclear power is inherently colonialist and predatory as well as slow, expensive and dangerous. Expanding it makes climate change worse. Promises of good longterm jobs won't realize for years if ever while renewables are squeezed out. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/nucl...

Ignoring radiation risks and promoting nuclear power as beneficial to communities instead of protecting them...will codify a system that accepts — even demands — more sacrificial victims of radiation exposure, mainly women and children.

New report reveals UK government purchase of American nuclear-capable F-35A planes and the atomic bombs they would drop, are a colossal waste of money, unneeded and incapable of serving any useful or timely strategic purpose. @NukewatchUK @Nuclearinfo beyondnuclearinternational.org/2025/12/07/b...

"The struggle for great power hegemony is rooted in economic and intellectual competition as much as in traditional, but increasingly complicated, arms races," writes Joseph Gerson. @gerson4peace beyondnuclearinternational.org/2025/11/30/c...

The AI tech bros don't just want nuclear power plants, they want the weapons, too. An ominous drift well explained by @WilliamHartung beyondnuclearinternational.org/2025/11/30/t...

Andrey Ozharovskii, a Russian citizen scientist, was measuring radiation levels at disused uranium mines in Mongolia when he was detained, deported, and has since been stripped of his passport. His rights and freedoms should be restored. beyondnuclearinternational.org/2025/11/23/w...

Minnesota's nuclear power plants and the waste sitting close to the Mississippi River are bad for human health. "For approximately the next six generations, radioactive tritium will be a part of the drinking water wherever those molecules wander." beyondnuclearinternational.org/2025/11/23/m...

Why learn any lessons when you can proceed with a failed technology on other people's money?

Ohioans expect and deserve fair utility bills and utility companies that follow the law... Today’s PUCO order requiring fines, restitution and refunds is an important milestone in fixing the harms FirstEnergy caused.

Long lead and construction times of nuclear facilities, coupled with the fact that some stocks in the space with zero revenues are in nosebleed territory, has sent the sector into a tailspin. Nuclear and uranium stocks have pulled back sharply from recent highs, with many seeing double-digit losses

State official finds that Holtec does not qualify for any of the exemptions listed in the MA Ocean Sanctuaries Act, including an exemption for discharges related to the generation of electric power, since Pilgrim has not generated electricity since its shutdown in 2019.

State Senator Dylan Fernandes, Massachusetts, has introduced legislation that would prevent Holtec Decommissioning International from venting radioactive vapor at the former Pilgrim nuclear power plant until state officials can evaluate the potential effect on Plymouth and surrounding communities.

There are a lot of people caught up in this latest nuclear graft and kickbacks scandal -- this time in Ukraine, no stranger to corruption. Eerily similar to the nuclear power-related bribery and racketeering in Ohio, Illinois and South Carolina. beyondnuclearinternational.org/2025/11/13/e...

An excellent piece by Dr. Ghassan Shahrour on what the COP30 ought to be about. "At COP30, we must demand that climate action include disarmament, equity, and protection for the most vulnerable. This is not just about carbon. It is about conscience." beyondnuclearinternational.org/2025/11/16/h...

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.”

Rep. "Titus, joined 26 House members to call on the Energy Secretary to end shutdown-related furloughs for roughly 1,400 personnel in the Natl Nuclear Security Admin that began this week" www.govexec.com/workforce/20... DoE Wright furloughed NNSA / cut funding & Trump orders nuke testing 👁️😡

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.
