Radioactive Waste 80 - Update on the Recent Accident at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant 5
I just posted another update a few days ago about the situation at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) near Carlsbad, New Mexico. They believe that they now understand what caused the release of plutonium and americium into the environment in February. A new type of absorbent was added to drums of waste from the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). This absorbent did not adequately lock up the ammonium nitrates in the liquid in the drums.

Nuclear Weapons 78 - Update on Problems with the U.S. Nuclear Forces
There have been many recent problems with the U.S. nuclear forces that have command of the United States nuclear arsenal. I have posted several times about some of the problems. More information keeps coming out all the time and I thought that it was time for a recap of problems since 2013.
