Nuclear Reactors 255 - Australia Building New Facility to Produce Radioistopes for Nuclear Medicine
I have written in the past about problems with the supply of critical radioisotopes for medical uses. The U.S. and Canada are working on new methods for creating the radioisotopes and hope to make up the shortfall soon.

Nuclear Reactors 254 - Russians Are Working On Floating Nuclear Reactors To Power Arctic Oil and Gas Drilling
Nuclear power is often praised for its low-carbon emissions as a way of slowing climate change being fed by the use of fossil fuels worldwide. I have blogged before about the overlap between radioactive contamination and oil drilling. There are filters like huge socks that capture naturally occurring radioactive materials brought up from fracking wells.
