If one knows (3) the breeding ratios for producing Pu-239 from the neutron absorption of Uranium-238, one can estimate the annual amounts of Pu-239 being pro- duced at Hanford.Thus, an intelligent enemy could esti- mate the number of weapons being pro- duced annually (carried out ...
Important conditions for economic viability of nuclear energy are: (1) presence of a ‘level playing field’, i.e. an open market that is not skewed in favor of some technologies by means of subsidies and/or by a legally imposed priority access for delivery to the electrical grid at a fi...
During the 21st Shangri-la Dialogue held in Singapore in early June, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin again tried to shift focus to the "China threat," alleging China's "coercive behavior" towards the Philippines and its growing nuclear power, and space and cyber capabilities. His true in...

the "China threat," alleging China's "coercive behavior" towards the Philippines and its growing nuclear power, and space and cyber capabilities. His true intention was to incite confrontation in China's neighborhood and create an excuse for the United States to intervene in Asia-Pacific affairs...
Nuclear's PR problem To be sure, there are risks. Meltdowns, while rarer than once-in-a-generation, have cataclysmic consequences. And the question of how to best store nuclear waste is contentious: The US invested $9 billion in building a storage site at Yucca Mountain beforeabandoning the...
Nuclear power. Japan's nuclear renaissance dogged by waste challenge Later this spring, Japan is likely to restart the first two of the 48 nuclear reactors idled in the aftermath of the 2011 meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. But the resumption of nuclear power generation...

The commercial nuclear power plants that exist today generate electricity through nuclear fission reactions. In these reactions, heavier atoms (often uranium-235) are split into smaller atoms. A small amount of mass is converted to energy in this process and this energy is used ...
