Records show the plant discharged an average of two to three million gallons of processed wastewater each year between 1962 and 2021, including treated radioactive effluents.

The feminist collective Slow War Against the Nuclear State formed in 2022, driven by a desire to discuss the politics surrounding nuclear weapons and their implications on society.

The triangular, highly advanced bomber, which still appears to be in its testing phase, is 'designed to deliver both conventional and nuclear payloads' and will ultimately form 'the backbone of the future Air Force bomber force.' The aircraft was spotted as the U.S. continues to wage war on Iran, and just a few days earlier, the Boeing E-6B Mercury - colloquially known as the 'Doomsday Plane' - was seen flying low over the Fresno area.

The US are claiming that they've hit 5,000 sites. So right now, we're just scratching the surface. That's just the tip of the iceberg. The researchers say that figure likely captures only a fraction of the damage from strikes on missile bases to attacks on oil tankers in the Persian Gulf.

A core question we want to understand is where did matter come from. And then, if you know about antimatter, it's natural to ask, why is that not here? The process is not understood and we are hunting for clues as to why it happened, says Dr Christian Smorra, a physicist on the Baryon Antibaryon Symmetry Experiment (Base) at Cern.

Prediction platform Polymarket lets users bet on everything from pop culture to global politics to the amount of times Elon Musk will post on X in a week. But one of its latest markets seems to have crossed an ethical line: an event titled "Nuclear weapon detonation by...?" where users could bet on when a nuclear bomb would go off.

Gold's map includes dozens (and possibly hundreds) of basement shelters in cities such as Boston, Baltimore, Dallas, Detroit, Memphis, Milwaukee, New York, Oklahoma City, Sacramento and Washington, DC. He told the Daily Mail that each state has a link to its own map, sending users to a Google Maps page where radioactive symbols mark the locations of every shelter Gold has been able to verify still exists as of August 2025.

Our study suggests that living near a [nuclear power plant] may carry a measurable cancer risk - one that lessens with distance. We recommend that more studies be done that address the issue of NPPs and health impacts, particularly at a time when nuclear power is being promoted as a clean solution to climate change.

In a short statement on Tuesday, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said damage was confirmed at entrance buildings to the underground fuel enrichment plant (FEP). No radiological consequence expected and no additional impact detected at FEP itself, the agency said, adding the facility was severely damaged during the 12-day war Israel and the US waged on Iran last year.

The DOE issued a Request for Information (RFI) on Wednesday, seeking responses from states that may be interested in hosting the campuses, which will operate a "full‑cycle nuclear ecosystem." In practice, this means these sites will be expected to provide facilities for atomic waste reprocessing and disposal, in addition to fuel fabrication and enrichment. They may also serve as locations for nuclear reactors and co‑located datacenters powered by them.

Tokamak fusion reactors rely on heated plasma that is extremely densely packed inside a doughnut-shaped chamber. But researchers thought that plasma could not exceed a certain density - a boundary called the Greenwald limit - without becoming unstable. In a new study, scientists pushed beyond this limit to achieve densities 30% to 65% higher than those normally reached by EAST while keeping the plasma stable.

Plastic is everywhere. Inside the human body, in the depths of the ocean and the far reaches of the Arctic. Now a new study warns that, unless the world changes course, plastic could more than double its damage to human health within the next two decades. The culprit is not plastic litter in the environment or microplastics, but the emissions released across plastic's entire life cycle from fossil fuel extraction and manufacturing to transport, recycling and disposal.

As nuclear tensions rise worldwide and the war in Ukraine reshapes global security, Rafael Grossi stands at the centre of the world's most dangerous calculations.

The activity around the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant is reaching its peak: workers remove earth to expand the width of a main road, while lorries arrive at its heavily guarded entrance. A long perimeter fence is lined with countless coils of razor wire, and in a layby, a police patrol car monitors visitors to the beach one of the few locations with a clear view of the reactors, framed by a snowy Mount Yoneyama.
