Nuclear Reactors 291 - The Story Of The Savannah, The First And Only U.S. Nuclear Powered Cargo Ship
After the end of World War II, the age of the “peaceful atom” started. There were plans for the peaceful use of atomic energy and atomic bombs. Some of these ideas were ridiculous and quickly abandoned. There were suggestions that atomic bombs could be used to dig canals and even frack underground formation to release natural gas.

Nuclear Fusion 34 - Google And Tri Alpha Energy Have Developed A New Algorithm To Help Stabalize Plasmas
I have been blogging about nuclear fusion lately as a source of energy. In nuclear fusion, light nuclei like hydrogen and helium are fused into heavier nuclei. An enormous amount of energy is released when nuclei fuse. Nuclear fusion research has absorbed billions of dollars over the last sixty years but has yet to yield a commercial power generation system.

Radioactive Waste 237 - Air Force Raises Complaints About Plans To Restart The Yucca Mountain Repository Project
I have blogged about the Yucca Mountain Repository in Nevada for spent nuclear fuel before. The project was cancelled by the Obama Administration in 2009. There is now building momentum for restarting the project. Spent nuclear fuel is accumulating at nuclear power plants around the country and definitely needs to be dealt with.
