The Slovenian Nuclear Safety Administration published a new issue of the publication News from Nuclear Slovenia. The purpose of this publication is to inform foreign readers, particularly the foreign regulatory bodies, expert organizations and interested public in the fields of nuclear and radiation safety. This semi-annual edition brings news about: - the potential expansion of the nuclear program in Slovenia, - new regulations in the field of nuclear and radiation safety, - the outage at Nuclear Power Plant Krško, - the start of construction of the Repository for Low- and Intermediate-level Waste, - the export of Ra-226 to Canada, - international cooperation activities, and - activities related to emergency preparedness. https://lnkd.in/d52H7Br2

Best invest in Building and talking about Fusion power, space, and maritime propulsion systems and industry as data centres are. You talk about Nuclear (meaning Fission) and fail to discuss fusion. https://lnkd.in/ge_aeX7M The nuclear fission industry is, ignorant of what's happening around you. Pull your uranium heads out, start adjusting your industry to fusion energy and start preparing to enter the commercially growing fusion energy industry. As it dawns on Earth like the sun.

The safeguards system of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) might inform a future verification regime for global nuclear disarmament that emphasizes irreversibility. This paper explores aspects of a verification mechanism for nuclear disarmament where the IAEA’s experience may be relevant: scope and purpose of verification; starting point and termination of safeguards; verification processes; conclusion-drawing; and compliance.

Last week, BASIC's Nuclear Responsibilities Programme hosted an India-Pakistan dialogue in Bahrain on 'Exploring Perceptions of Emerging and Disruptive Technologies in South Asia', where participants examined the drivers of threat perceptions and similarities or differences in how both countries perceive these technologies.

Over the past 30 years, the US Radiation Exposure Comoensation Act fund paid out approximately $2.5 billion to impacted populations (Congressional Research Service 2022). For comparison, the US federal government spends $60 billion per year to maintain its nuclear forces (Congressional Budget Office 2021).

NEW INSF Monthly Newsletter! In the news: ICONS gathers international nuclear security leaders, ZNPP temporarily loses power, and IAEA reports 4,243 confirmed nuclear trafficking or MORC incidents since 1993

We had a unique opportunity to interview Christopher Hanson, Chair of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Mr. Hansen has more than two decades of government and private-sector experience in the fields of nuclear energy. Watch the video below to get his insight on the current challenges and the future of nuclear security! #bswn #BSWN #iaea #IAEA #icons2024 #ICONS2024 #vcdnp #VCDNP

NRC Statement on Passing of Former President Carter The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission mourns the loss of Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States. President Carter exemplified a lifelong commitment to public service, innovation and safety and made extraordinary contributions to the nuclear community. “President Carter’s legacy in the nuclear field serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of accountability, transparency and innovation in the safe use of nuclear technology,” said NRC Chair Christopher T. Hanson. “His work helped lay the foundation for the robust, effective regulatory framework we continue to uphold.” President Carter’s leadership during the 1979 Three Mile Island accident remains a defining moment in NRC history. His selection of the NRC’s Harold Denton as the President’s personal representative provided stability during the worst of the event. President Carter’s leadership led to significant advancements in NRC regulatory oversight and safety protocols, many of which remain central to the agency’s mission today. President Carter also oversaw a pivotal NRC reorganization that streamlined its operations and clarified the roles and authorities (particularly during emergencies) of the Chair, Commission and Executive Director for Operations. The changes enhanced the safety of nuclear power plants and other uses of nuclear materials.

Appreciate the opportunity provided by Breaking Defense to counter blatant misinformation from Prof Alan Kuperman and the Nuclear Prevention Proliferation Project (LBJ School The University of Texas at Austin) about initiatives underway for nuclear power to meet national security needs for resilient energy. We welcome a public discussion on advanced nuclear power with the NPPP at any future forum. More importantly, while we understand the intent of the NPPP endowment to help combat the spread of nuclear weapons, we question the lack of scholarly analysis and peer review in the positions proffered by the NPPP. Hope we will be able to rectify this in future articles and engagement. Does the LBJ School entertain a range of views? Brian McCormack Jim Howe Jeffrey "Jeff" C. Crater L.
