Nuclear Weapons 184 - Reaction to North Korean Nuclear Bomb Test
Yesterday, I blogged about the nuclear bomb test just carried out by North Korea. While scientists doubt that it was a hydrogen bomb as claimed by N.K., there was a strong international reaction to the Test. Many countries have condemned the test including China which has been the main international supporter of N.K.

Nuclear Weapons 183 - North Korea Claims That It Tested A Hydrogen Bomb
Often I have the luxury of looking around for interesting stories about nuclear issues and choosing what I want to write about on a given day. Other times, there are events that happen that require me to write about them. Today is one of those days. As I was watching the news over dinner last night, there was a breaking story about seismographs registering a 5.1 earthquake in North Korea.

Graphene Able To Separate Deuterium Nuclei From Water
One of the biggest problems with nuclear waste is polluted water. Dumping nuclear trash into the oceans of the world, leaking nuclear waste dumps and leaks from nuclear reactors have contaminated billions of gallons of water around the world. The nuclear disaster at Fukushima was and is a huge example of this.
