Nuclear Reactors 607 - Volatility in Uranium Prices
I have blogged before about the volatility in the price of uranium on the global market. Currently the price is very low but it has been climbing because of production cuts at mines, cancelled mining projects and interest from investors in commodities. The price has rising thirty percent since April.

Nuclear Reactors 606 - New Nuclear Engine Under Development
Nuclear power has been used to power ships and submarines. There have been attempts to use nuclear engines in U.S. aircraft and missiles, but it turned out to be impractical because of the need for heavy shielding to prevent emission of a lot of radiation. The Russians have announced a missile that they say utilizes a nuclear engine, but all the tests of the prototypes so far have failed.
