Working for a world free from nuclear power and nuclear weapons
Nuclear power was born as a public relations afterthought of manufacturing nuclear weapons. It should remain an afterthought.
Opinion: Utah doesn't need expensive, unsafe nuclear power
Gov. Cox's support for nuclear power is misguided.

An all-out nuclear war might well be suicidal for humanity; indeed, for most life forms. With a major nuclear exchange there would be many detonations, killing billions of people. As the fallout spreads, billions more would sicken and die a slower death from radiation poisoning.
Without START, everything could end
Will Trump snub Putin’s offer to extend nuclear treaty?

DOE loosens safety rules for new reactors.
The Trump administration has secretly rewritten nuclear safety rules
The rewrite was done to speed up the construction of a new generation of nuclear reactors. Critics warn it could compromise safety and public trust.
