The Trump administration is moving forward with a plan to supply Cold War-era plutonium recovered from dismantled nuclear warheads to companies that would convert the material into fuel for nuclear power plants. The proposal has generated debate and unease among experts and observers, who are weighing its implications for nonproliferation, safety, and the future of the nuclear energy industry.
- 2Researchers discuss plutonium production and nuclear war effects●We had additional talks on various nuclear topics ☢️ Plutonium production in fast reactors ☢️ Effects of nuclear war on
Scientists at a nuclear research gathering reported additional talks covering plutonium production in fast reactors, the effects of nuclear war on water cycles, measurements at nuclear weapon test sites, remote detection of tests, and the links between sustainability and nuclear non-proliferation. The range of topics highlights renewed scientific attention to both civilian nuclear technology and the consequences of nuclear weapons use.
- 3US criticised over rushed plutonium pit production plans▼The US government’s dangerous rush to produce new plutonium pits
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists argues the US government is moving too quickly to resume production of plutonium pits, the cores of nuclear warheads. The article warns that accelerating pit manufacturing, planned at sites such as Los Alamos and Savannah River, carries safety, environmental and technical risks, and questions whether the rush is justified by current defence needs.

Live television is back in the conversation as Pluto TV expands to more than 400 free live channels, a move Cord Cutters News frames as a money-saving option following Disney+'s recent price increase. Coverage also highlights ways to drop the so-called sports tax with live TV alternatives. Meanwhile, live TV moments remain a talking point, with Tyler Cameron announcing his fiancée Tate Madden's pregnancy during a 'Dancing With the Stars' broadcast.
- 6Savannah River Site moves closer to plutonium pit production▼Savannah River Site one step closer to producing plutonium pits
The Savannah River Site in South Carolina has moved one step closer to producing plutonium pits, the critical cores used in nuclear weapons. The development advances a long-running US effort to reestablish domestic pit manufacturing capacity, a program that has drawn both support for national security goals and scrutiny over cost, safety and environmental concerns in the region.
