The future of nuclear energy depends on getting today’s technology choices right.
Today, the Nuclear Scaling Initiative published the Reactor Selection Tool—a platform designed to guide reactor selection based on 8 key criteria, including safety, security, cost, supply chain & deployment timeline.
"Reprocessing is commercially untenable because it’s expensive, dangerous and it doesn’t work as advertised," writes NTI's Ross Matzkin-Bridger in a letter to the editor for the @washingtonpost.com.

Testing nuclear weapons is unnecessary for U.S. national security, unwise because it will invite our adversaries to do the same, and unwelcome in communities close to the test site.

“No one knows how this will end, or when, but when it does, I think our priority has to be to get the IAEA, the international inspectors, back into Iran,” says NTI’s Co-Chair, Ernest Moniz says on the recent strikes on Iran.
Whether or not there is regime change in Iran, the international community should insist that Iran allow the return of international inspectors immediately after the cessation of military operations to begin the arduous process of accounting for nuclear materials.

In 1983, Soviet officer Stanislav Petrov called a warning of an incoming missile from the United States a false alarm. His judgement was accurate and might have saved the world.
In an era of rising nuclear risk, the lessons we can learn from nuclear history are many.
Today, the US began a military campaign targeting Iran’s political leadership, nuclear program, and conventional military forces, with the goal of collapsing its government.
The combat operations introduce serious nuclear security and proliferation risks. Our statement: www.nti.org/news/stateme...
“It’s not simply ensuring that there’s a human being in the decision-making loop…The question is, to what extent will AI impact that human decision-making?”

Yesterday, Rev. Jesse Jackson passed away at the age of 84.
He was an inspiring civil rights leader and a staunch advocate for nuclear risk reduction. Nuclear disarmament was a key component of his 1984 presidential run, and he stated that, “we will choose the human race over the nuclear race.”
In an interview with Mary Louise Kelly at #MSC2026, our CEO Christine Wormuth said, "I hope we're not going to be going back to the days of drills underneath desks, but I do think we're in a perilous new era where we could see an arms race."

Why are recent nuclear stories like Oppenheimer and Fallout so culturally relevant?
We'll be at atxfestival.com this year to talk about it. 🤠
When funders support groundbreaking life science research, they are investing in discoveries that could save lives.
But what if that same research, in the wrong hands or under unsafe conditions, could cause harm? www.nti.org/risky-busine...

Direct disposal of spent fuel as the safest, most secure, and least expensive pathway for the United States.
Full statement from @apln.network, @theeln.bsky.social , and @nti.org www.nti.org/analysis/art...
Every nation with nuclear arms bears responsibility for reducing the risk of unintended, mistaken, or unauthorized nuclear use. They should take immediate action to prevent a possible catastrophe.
The world cannot afford to wait for more peaceful times to reduce the risks of nuclear use.
America's nuclear energy future depends on making smart fuel management choices today.
The new Scale What Works campaign highlights direct disposal of spent fuel as the safest, most secure, and least expensive pathway for the country. www.nti.org/news/nuclear...
The world is experiencing a revolution in bioscience and biotechnology, which is now accelerating due to the convergence of AI with the life sciences.
These advances offer tremendous potential societal benefits but they also pose significant risks. www.lefigaro.fr/en/world/art...
