By far the most forgotten and overlooked nuclear disaster in history. The answer as to why, lies in the deeply discriminatory practices of the nuclear power industry. beyondnuclearinternational.org/2026/07/12/a... #ChurchRock

In 2021, MSNBC broadcast a new documentary, “In the Dark of the Valley,” about the the 1959 accident, the coverup, its effects on people living nearby, and the efforts of local citizens to hold Boeing and the state and federal governments accountable for failing to warn people or clean up the site.

Parents Against Santa Susana Field Laboratory, a local community organization, has worked hard for years on behalf of the 700,000 people living within 10 miles of the site to hold the US government, the State of California, and Boeing responsible for properly and fully cleaning it up.

Today in 1959, a clogged coolant channel led to the meltdown of 30 percent of the fuel elements in the core of the uncontained 20-Megawatt Sodium Reactor Experiment nuclear reactor at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory, located about 30 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles above Simi Valley.

Not socialism, just (more) grifting

NRC's “robust regulatory regime” claim is challenged by Beyond Nuclear v. NRC. Beyond Nuclear and Sierra Club, argue that NRC unlawfully made generic environmental conclusions despite alleged gaps involving aging-related risk, severe accidents, and climate-change effects.

Proposal ends routine public comment requests on draft impact statements; Proposal would also stop reviewing dust noise air and non-radiological water impacts

In view of evidence of harm presented in The Scientists Who Alerted, the White House’s current push to weaken or eliminate radiation protection standards in the United States amounts to criminal reckless endangerment, and must be stopped.

Just a reminder to those in the Baltimore area that Vincent Intondi and Beyond Nuclear's Linda Pentz Gunter will be at The Ivy in Baltimore, 6pm July 28 to discuss Linda's book. Please circulate the link to your area contacts! www.eventbrite.com/e/linda-pent...

The Australian uranium mining company that successfully lobbied President Donald Trump into threatening to take over Greenland, has lost its battle to extend a controversial exploration license there.

NJ gov Mikie Sherrill has allowed herself to be conned by the nuclear tech bros, none of whom have the public wellbeing in mind. Too many US governors have drunk the nuclear Kool-Aid. Too slow, too expensive, too dangerous, for data centers not homes. beyondnuclearinternational.org/2026/07/05/f...

"Nuclear Socialism"...is there no way the technology will ever make economic sense? Never say never, but the odds are long... it’s bad policy for politicians to be pushing this mature technology on taxpayers and ratepayers.

Willingly bamboozled in NJ: A multi-million dollar PR campaign can’t hide nuclear power’s ugly truth.

To "unleash" #nuclear energy, the Energy Department and the NRC are taking a wrecking ball to nuclear safety, security, and radiation protection standards that were carefully developed over the decades, often in response to painful lessons. So why do nuclear power stocks keep falling?

"This will only increase the disease burden at a time when cancer rates are already rising among younger people"

Trump, Epstein, Nukes?!?

Update on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's mandate from Trump to expose us to more radioactive pollution. Watch below.

Today in 1968, the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) opened for signature. Only four states have never been a party to this landmark nuclear arms control agreement: India, Israel, Pakistan, and South Sudan (North Korea acceded in December 1985 but withdrew in April 2003).

Nuclear power reactors have shut down multiple times during heatwaves, especially in Europe. This heatwave is no exception.

New reactors promised by companies with zero #nuclear experience. US governors eager to buy into these false promises. Old reactors revived that could "blow" any time. Billions in taxpayer funds for Westinghouse, the poster child for nuclear fiasco. Mad beyondnuclearinternational.org/2026/06/28/t...

It's time for lawmakers to listen to the realities about #nuclear power and stop buying into dangerous expensive nuclear fantasies that just delay and derail meaningful climate action while failing to deliver the energy needs required now. nuclearcosts.org/experts-plea...

NEWSFLASH: Uranium IS nuclear

The NRC refuses to account for a rapidly changing climate when extending the licenses of operating reactors and licensing new ones. Diane Curran lays out the case for why increasingly violent weather should factor into safety considerations. beyondnuclearinternational.org/2026/06/21/c...

The public was not informed before the deal was completed: Even county commissioners were only told “a week or two” prior... “They just announced it in the newspaper December 4, like it was a done deal,” ... “So arrogant and so dismissive of the public.”

What is the "next Chernobyl" happens at #Chernobyl. With two damaging drone strikes, a hole in the confinement dome and a crumbling sarcophagus beneath, a major radiation release is a real possibility.

An Ordinary Insanity is a must-watch legacy film with Daniel Ellsberg in the last year of his life. “I’ve long said that to my last breath I will be doing what I can to postpone and avert the risk of nuclear war,” he says. It's free to all to screen anywhere. www.anordinaryinsanity.com

But we also have to contend with the kind of danger posed by human beings — all of us capable of participating in projects that are evil, participating in the widest sense through our silence.

Japan is running out of space for spent nuclear fuel and has no viable plans for permanent disposal of the radioactive waste.

Handing weapons grade plutonium to startup commercial reactor companies who will be doing an end run around @NRCgov to avoid safety scrutiny is the worst idea possible. beyondnuclearinternational.org/2026/06/07/r...
