Nuclear Power Plant Under Attack By Weird Sea Creatures
A nuclear power plant in Southern California is being swarmed by legions of jellyfish-like creatures. CAN THEY BE STOPPED?
US Government Banking On Small Nuclear Reactors For Future Energy
Ever since Fukushima, nuclear power has not been a warmly received concept when it comes to energy solutions. But still, small modular reactors have remained one iteration of nuclear power that people are optimistic about due to their relative safety and manageability. That’s why the US Department of Energy has entered into partnerships with the top SMR makers to help nurture the tiny wonders.
Fukushima Crisis Awakes After Reactor Heats Up Mysteriously
Just when you thought it was over, the temperature at reactor number 2 at Fukushima’s nuclear plant has soared 26.7C in the last few hours. Worse: they don’t know why the temperature is increasing after being stabilised for so long.

Are All Of France’s Nuclear Power Plants Unsafe?
The French are great at lots of things: bread, cheese, wine, shrugging. Sadly, their nuclear power stations aren’t so amazing. They’re unsafe and need a massive overhaul.
Evidence Of Recent Nuclear Reactions Found At Fukushima
Japan is hoping to have the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant safely shuttered by the end of the year, but a little radioactive wrench just got dropped: inspectors have discovered evidence of very recent fission. That’s bad news.
Three-Eyed Fish Caught Outside Nuclear Power Plant
Fishermen in Córdoba, Argentina caught a three-eyed wolf fish in a reservoir fed by a local nuclear power plant, which will surely hinder the plant’s owner’s attempt to run for local office.
