Radioactive Waste 185 - Waste Isolation Pilot Plant May Open In December of 2016
I have blogged about the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad, New Mexico before. The nuclear weapons waste facility is located in an old salt mine. It has been operating for over fifteen years and the operators have gotten sloppy. The are huge rooms that have been hollowed out and filled with barrels of waste from nuclear weapons research and development.

Nuclear Reactors 394 - New Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Calls For Review Of Hinkley Point C Project On Eve Of Contract Signing
I have often blogged before about the Hinkley Point C nuclear power project in Britain. It is like a soap opera or a slow train wreck. The deal, which may cost over thirty billion dollars has been in the works for ten years for EDF, a French-owned utility company, to build two nuclear reactors at the Hinkley Point power plant.

Nuclear Reactors 393 - Chinese Is Violating International Trade Restrictions On Sale Of Nuclear Technology to Pakistan
I have blogged before about the fight going on over India's membership in the Nuclear Suppliers Group. The U.S. wants India in the NSG to make it easier to do nuclear related business. China, a long time rival and sometimes enemy of India, is working to keep India out of the NSG. One of the ploys that China is using is to insist that Pakistan be admitted to the NSG if India is.
