Nuclear Weapons 246 - India Admits To Having A Cold Start Policy To Respond To Attacks From Pakistan
I have blogged about the tensions between Pakistan and India. Both countries have around a hundred nuclear warheads and multiple means of delivery. Concerned about a possible invasion from India, Pakistan has stated that they would repel any such incursion with tactical nuclear weapons. Recently, they deployed tactical nuclear weapons to military positions near the Indian border. Recently Pakistan launched a nuclear-capable cruise missile from one of the submarines.

Radioactive Waste 211 - Florida Power & Light Plans To Inject Radioactive Water Into Floridian Aquifer
I have blogged before about problems with thermal pollution from the Florida Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Station which is owned by Florida Power & Light (FPL) and is located at the southern tip of Florida on Biscayne Bay. FPL is planning on the construction of two additional reactors at Turkey Point to be completed by 2030.
