Giving up the nuclear licence was the right call — safety and compliance can’t be optional. If you work with nuclear tech of any kind, strict regulation and enforcement aren’t red tape, they’re what keeps workers, patients and the public safe.

End to war 'depends on Russia's commitment to peace,' Ukraine, US agree -- Chornobyl protective shield 'lost its primary safety functions' after Russian drone strike, UN nuclear agency warns -- Russia has lost 1,179,790 troops in Ukraine since Feb. 24, 2022 -- Why Ukraine rejects Russia's 600,000 army cap demand ... and morehttps://activitypub.writeworks.uk/2025/12/sunday-december-7-2025/
Not overly surprising in the sense that the extent of the damage has been discussed publicly before. Still, not what we wanted to hear. #Ukraine #Chornobyl #NuclearSafety

"...AI demands are currently infeasible, as nuclear development timelines—often ten to twenty years—are out of step with the pace of AI deployment, with large conventional nuclear reactors only capable of producing up to one gigawatt of power (i.e.,1 GW[e]) per unit. This discrepancy between the AI industry’s energy demands and the lack of technical feasibility to construct nuclear plants at the pace of these stringent (and often contrived) timescales has created a chasm that is ultimately leading to a slew of efforts to fast-track nuclear timelines that raise serious safety and oversight concerns. Although the nuclear sector has the opportunity to expedite global decarbonization efforts, the monopolization of nuclear energy to explicitly power AI raises serious concerns about whether the risks associated with nuclear facilities and unsubstantiated, fast-tracked initiatives can be justified if they are not to the benefit of civil energy consumption, and if they further entrench power asymmetries that may lead to nuclear destabilization and proliferation.
This report taxonomizes and assesses these nuclear “fast-tracking” initiatives. We examine their feasibility and their impact on nuclear safety, security, and safeguards—and more largely society’s potential exposure to radiation levels—across three primary categories:
- Policy initiatives seeking to lower regulatory practices including long-established nuclear-safety and risk-analysis approaches, safety culture, acceptable risks, and thresholds in order to reduce timescales for the construction of civil and defense nuclear facilities
- The use of generative AI to expedite regulatory processes such as nuclear licensing and commissioning for both civil and defense nuclear facilities
- The promotion of advanced and new nuclear technologies that are contingent on novel or unmaterialized approaches and infeasible timescales"

Nga cáo buộc phương Tây hối thúc Ukraine phá hoại Nhà máy điện hạt nhân Zaporizhzhia rồi đổ lỗi cho Moscow. SVR cho biết âm mưu phá hoại quy mô lớn đang được triển khai. Trong khi đó, Ukraine được báo cáo đã tấn công căn cứ UAV Shahed.

Humans make mistakes all the time, yet nuclear power is extremely safe. A wide range of precautions and protocols are in place to ensure nuclear safety, starting from the work culture. This interesting video by Smarter Every Day shows the refueling process of a nuclear reactor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0afQ6w3Bjw
While seeing insides of a nuclear reactors and how they're refueled is interesting, I find the safety&security processes and practices around the process even more interesting.
This video gives you some idea why nuclear power-related accidents are so rare. People do make mistakes, but the overlapping and multilayered safety&security processes catch the mistakes before they can lead to bigger problems.
There are things to learn here for even the world outside of the nuclear industry:
- Having a work culture that encourages reporting mistakes without reprisal and reprimand helps catch issues early, as they are more likely to be reported.
- Identifying the critical systems and having layered safety&security is important. Not everything needs to be super tight. Applying the super tight rules everywhere would likely just make people ignore the rules, at least in part.
- Training is important. Understanding the reason why tight safety/security is in place in a system is crucial. With this understanding, it is more likely that the rules are obeyed.

Versitron Surveillance Kits for Nuclear Power Plants
Maintain the highest levels of safety and monitoring with Versitron surveillance kits designed for nuclear power plants. Reliable fiber-based transmission ensures secure, interference-free video across critical infrastructure.
At #safeND2025, Dörte Fouquet highlighted that the legal framework must adapt to modern times, environmental needs, and life cycles to guide timely nuclear waste disposal.
She stressed the need for clear responsibilities—knowing who is involved and what roles they hold makes processes reliable and effective.
🔑 Her message: Updated governance and transparency are key pillars for safe nuclear waste strategies.
Our #safeND panel discussion featured experts from Germany, Canada, Finland and Sweden: Sönke Reiche, Allison Macfarlane, Kai Hämäläinen and Anna Storm.
This video captures their reflections on similarities and differences in international approaches to #NuclearWasteManagement.
This summary provides a concise, global perspective on one of the most urgent challenges in #NuclearSafety.
The venue is being set up, and the stage is almost ready. From 17 to 19 September, We will host the third safeND Symposium on nuclear waste safety.
📅Hopefully, the date is already highlighted in your calendar as in just a few days, the community will meet in Berlin to exchange knowledge and perspectives on one of the most pressing global challenges. The clock is ticking, and safeND 2025 is just about to begin.
