Is Russia Helping China Expand Its Nuclear Weapons Program? 

Union of Concerned Scientists

In 1992, after five years of research, China decided to cooperate with Russia on the construction of an experimental fast reactor (CEFR), with the ultimate goal of pursuing a closed nuclear fuel cycle —a process in which spent nuclear fuel is reprocessed and recycled to extract usable materials for further energy production.

Scafetta comes back for more

Real Climate

We pointed out in March that Scafetta had totally neglected observational uncertainty in calculating the observed change in temperature (2011-2021 compared to 1980-1990). Observational uncertainty. Now he has included it, but has made a massive error so that it is roughly a factor of ten too small (though this is progress of a sort!).

Five Things the “Nuclear Bros” Don’t Want You to Know About Small Modular Reactors

Union of Concerned Scientists

And a site with four such reactors could have four times the annual risk of a single unit, or an even greater risk if an accident at one reactor were to damage the others, as happened during the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi accident in Japan. SMRs will not reduce the problem of what to do with radioactive waste.

EVs Are at a Turning Point, It May Not Be What You Think

Union of Concerned Scientists

The market at the time (all of 6,743 California sales in 2011) was dominated by the 73-mile range Nissan Leaf, the plug-in hybrid Chevy Volt (with a 35-mile electric range ). There was robust debate about the feasibility of EVs reaching 15 percent market share in CA by 2025. Automakers pushed back, concerned the rules were too stringent.
