Nuclear Reactors 308 - U.K. Considers Site In Wales For Production Of Small Modular Reactors
I have blogged before about the quest to develop small modular reactors (SMR) to replace the current generation of gigawatt plus nuclear power reactors. By definition, these SMR reactors will generate less than three hundred megawatts. Another aspect of SMR projects is the intention to build these reactors in modules in factories.

Nuclear Weapons 179 - Program to Compensate Nuclear Workers Exposed to Radiation While Working on U.S. Nuclear Weapons Must be Improved
The nuclear industry likes to brag about how safe it is. They like to say that almost no one has died as a result of nuclear accidents or operational problems at nuclear power reactors and research laboratories. However, they are not so vocal about the death toll from the development and manufacture of nuclear weapons for the U.S. arsenal.
