Recently I blogged about a fire on a Russian experimental submersible that killed fourteen Russian sailors. The Russians delayed announcing the fire and deaths for days and there are still a lot of unanswered questions about exactly what happened.

Nuclear Fusion 62 - Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory Makes Progress In Stabilizing Plasmas In Tokamaks
I have posted a number of essays about research into nuclear fusion. If the reaction that powers the Sun and stars could be harnessed, it would provide abundant energy. The popular donut shaped tokamaks have serious problems confining the super-heated plasma to the center of the cavity.Super powerful magnets are necessary to create a container of magnetic fields.

Peninsula Energy Has Been Authorized By Wyoming To Use Acidic Solutions For In Situ Mining Of Uranium At The Lance Mine
In situ leaching is a mining technique for extracting minerals such as copper and uranium. Holes are drilled into the ore deposit and leaching fluid is pumped into the holes. The solution carrying the dissolved ore is then pumped back to the surface and processed. In uranium in situ mining, an acidic solution such as sulfuric acid or an alkaline solution such as sodium bicarbonate is used.
