AI Opted to Use Nuclear Weapons 95% of the Time During War Games: Researcher | Common Dreams AI models like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini show alarming readiness to deploy nuclear weapons in war games experiment. Study reveals sobering results.

“There was little sense of horror or revulsion at the prospect of all out nuclear war, even though the models had been reminded about the devastating implications.”

Secretly rewritten nuclear safety rules are made public The Energy Department made the rules public a month after NPR reported about their existence. The rules slash requirements for security and environmental protections.

The orders slashed hundreds of pages of requirements for training guards and securing nuclear material. They also loosened protections for things like groundwater. These are substantial changes that have the potential to undermine safety, security and environmental protections at the new reactors.

The Innate and Inseparable Ties Between Nuclear Weapons and Energy What do Canada’s retired general Wayne Eyre and Saudi Prince Mohammed Bin Salman share in common? Answer: In their own ways, both have inadvertently warned the public about the deep relationship betwe...

There are five overlaps between nuclear energy and nuclear weapons: technical, historical, geographical, personnel and institutional.

The priciest electricity in the world Why is Gov. Hochul drinking the nuclear Kool-Aid?

New Governor #KathyHochul either can't do math or she's not willing to look at the real numbers. Her support of new nuclear power plants will guarantee New Yorkers some of the highest electricity rates in the country. beyondnuclearinternational.org/2026/02/23/t...

The End of Baseload Power as We Know It | OilPrice.com China and France are retrofitting coal and nuclear plants to operate more intermittently, reflecting how growing renewable penetration is reshaping traditional base-load generation economics.

It's official. Nuclear (old and new) is "deader than the proverbial doornail." oilprice.com/Energy/Energ...

Living Near Nuclear Power Plants Linked to Higher Cancer Mortality Nationwide The closer a county is to a nuclear power plant, the higher its cancer death rate appears to be—raising new questions about nuclear energy’s hidden health costs.

Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health does study our nuclear regulator (NRC) refused to do over a decade ago.

See you at Housmans if you can be there on March 10! "Linda Pentz Gunter has done a great service in highlighting the nuclear chain reaction and exposing the huge human and environmental costs." – @jeremycorbyn @plutopress.bsky.social housmans.com/event/talk-n...

Every Day, Nukes Are Riding Right Past People Like You Every day, nuclear weapons are transported in trucks riding along interstates that connect communities across the United States.

Nukes do not merely exist in a post-apocalyptic world — they are driving past kids biking on interstate services roads to get out of doing school work. Barring change, they will soon be driving past many more... these are additional real risks posed by the nuclear complex.

Non-proliferation without disarmament doesn’t work The United Nations cannot afford to be further weakened

When a rogue actor like Donald Trump is ripping up some international treaties while ignoring or breaking others, do the few remaining nuclear treaties have any teeth at all? A look at the possible demise of the #nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. beyondnuclearinternational.org/2026/02/15/n...

Iran's right to the bomb? - Beyond Nuclear Which countries are allowed to have nuclear weapons? The nuclear-armed nations say only they are. This includes Israel, which is officially an “undeclared”

Iran's right to the bomb?

Opinion: Utah doesn't need expensive, unsafe nuclear power Gov. Cox's support for nuclear power is misguided.

Nuclear power was born as a public relations afterthought of manufacturing nuclear weapons. It should remain an afterthought.

'Making America Unsafe Again': Alarm Over Environmental Review Exemption for Nuclear Reactors | Common Dreams The US Department of Energy is allowing exemptions for nuclear reactor environmental reviews, alarming critics who called the policy "terrifying" and "truly crazy."

Polish monk could face death penalty Opposition to nuclear weapons led to arrest in Belarus

Thanks to Nuclear The Nuclear Resister and Our House for this story. Polish monk Grzegorz Gawel was arrested in Belarus and charged with acquiring sensitive papers about the stationing of Russian nuclear weapons in Belarus, something Poland denies. beyondnuclearinternational.org/2026/02/01/p...

Without START, everything could end Will Trump snub Putin’s offer to extend nuclear treaty?

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.

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.

DOE loosens safety rules for new reactors.

The New Nuclear Fever, Debunked Canadians are being conned with false visions of a nuclear revival

Let's remember that most of our politicians are just as dumb north of the border as they are here in the disUnited States of America. Nuclear to extract oil from the tar sands? And the usual bunk about small modular reactors, here roundly DE-bunked! beyondnuclearinternational.org/2026/01/18/t...

Opposition of nuclear power ‘revival’ in New York holds its first forum | NationofChange

The action emphasized oncerns about safety and a $33 billion ratepayer subsidy to keep four aging reactors in upstate New York operating for another 20 years.

All the president’s yes-men? Will change of NRC chair further boost industry influence?

The NRC is loaded up with yes-men and everything is on a recklessly accelerated pace now to license reactors that are labeled "dangerous" by anyone who actually understands the technology and cares about public safety. Be afraid. Be very afraid. beyondnuclearinternational.org/2026/01/15/a...

Navajo lands at risk Rushed process bypasses tribal law and will harm communities

This isn't cleanup a plan, it's a recontamination scheme. "More than 500 abandoned uranium mines contaminate the #Navajo Nation, but cleanup must be grounded in strict environmental oversight, transparency, and full community consultation." beyondnuclearinternational.org/2026/01/11/n...

Time for a course correction? Other issues now rally bigger numbers than nuclear abolition

The nuclear disarmament movement does not command the kinds of turnouts we saw at the height of the Cold War and yet arguably the threat of nuclear war is greater now than ever. How can we turn that around, asks M.V. Ramana beyondnuclearinternational.org/2026/01/04/t...
