Last year, I posted several blog articles about the "Peaceful A-bombs." These articles recounted efforts by the U.S., Soviet Union and other countries to find a peaceful use for nuclear bombs. Some of the uses considered had to do with earth moving such as digging canals with a linear series of nuclear bombs. Another possibility was digging out artificial harbors with nuclear bombs. Both the U.S.
In my last post, I talked about how there is a civil war brewing in Ukraine over Russian involvement in Ukrainian affairs. There is a substantial Russian minority in Ukraine. During the Soviet years, Ukraine was the second most powerful member of the Soviet Union after Russia but it was ultimately controlled by the central Soviet government.
There are many different important issues when considering nuclear power. I have spent a lot of time on the threat nuclear weapons and the environmental, health, technical and economic issues of nuclear reactors. I have posted blogs that dealt with the possibilities that terrorists could target nuclear reactors and/or nuclear waste storage.
