Nuclear Reactors 558 - LaserSnake Robot Being Used To Decommission Winfirth Dragon Reactor In U.K.
One of the major problems encountered in decommissioning nuclear power reactors is dealing with the radioactivity of the components of the reactor. If the parts of a reactor are too hot for human beings to safely handle, then another way must be found. There has been a great deal of work on adapting robots to assist in decommissioning.

Nuclear Weapons 341 - Pentagon Choosing A Site For Manufacture Of Plutonium Cores For Nuclear Warheads
The U.S. is planning on spending a trillion dollars over the next ten years on upgrading the U.S. nuclear arsenal. Part of this project will be the construction on new nuclear warheads.
