Nuclear Reactors 452 - Los Alamos County Considering A NuScale Small Modular Reactor
Small modular reactors (SMR) are in the news a lot these days. SMRs are designed to produce three hundred megawatts or less of electricity from nuclear fission. They will be built in modules in factories and shipped to the site where they will be assembled and operated. NuScale Power of Portland, Oregon just submitted a twelve thousand page application to the U.S.

Nuclear Weapons 248 - New Russian Underwater Stealth Nuclear Drone May Not Be So New After All
Back in 2015, I blogged about a supposed new Russian underwater drone with a nuclear warhead called "Ocean Multipurpose System: Status-6". The plans for the drone were glimpsed in a Russian government video, suggesting that it was a deliberate "leak." The basic idea was that the drone was fast and fitted with stealth technology that would make it impossible to detect.
