Thank you!! That would be amazing!

I visited Fukushima this summer. Here are some thoughts on how ongoing decontamination efforts there consider humans and nature, and strike a balance between memory, safety, and revival.
It was such a meaningful visit and I hope to return to help in some way.

To assess Iran's remaining nuclear capability, we need to know several things that aren't publicly known:
(1) Where is the HEU? Canisters broken and UF6 dispersed? In canisters that can be recovered (or not)? Or removed and hidden? 1/n

The discourse on the Israel-Iran war is starting to feel almost as dystopian as the war itself

Watching Andor and why do their reactors have lenses and why does Kalkite coat them? Is there fan fic on the physics in Star Wars (Andor in particular)?

Fellow academics and/or people with insufferably long CVs: do you have an overleaf template you like? If so, would you mind pointing me to it?

For context, these are painted in soft pastels.
I am also very interested in the plants, trees, grasses around nuclear sites so more close up pictures of those would also be appreciated! (Will likely paint these with oil pastels or watercolors)

Thank you so much for sharing this photo! I look forward to painting it

It appears I have a new hobby. #nuclearsky / #nukesky please send me your pictures of nuclear plants and infrastructure to paint from?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but: there will be zero AI data centers powered by new nuclear plants if the new nuclear plants and their fuel are not cost-competitive with other electricity sources.

We do!!

SCOTUS goes nuclear: Justices' decision could seal spent fuel storage options for decades Whatever the Supreme Court decides, the legal fallout from NRC v. Texas will still leave US spent fuel management up in the air.

Academics: how are we functioning not knowing whether grants may be a thing of the past

Hello friend

Call for Pitches: Nuclear Weapons Industry Imagery Help us understand what the nuclear weapons industry looks like today.

Hi #NukeSky - we're still taking photojournalism pitches at @inkstickmedia.bsky.social for our call for nuclear weapons industry images.

We'd love to see your pitches from places in the US like Pantex or the Savannah River Site or Promontory. And lots of others!

BlueSky is so wholesome. Doom-scrolling truly is a product of how the other place was designed

While dreaming up projects D, E, and F 🙃

🤣

It’s all very reality tv coded. “Aditi is 34 and thinks community engagement is a good idea”

You have to wait for 80 over 80 now 🤷🏽‍♀️

And vaguely amused to suddenly be aware of everyone’s age 🙃

Honored to be on the inaugural ANS 40 under 40 list with so many brilliant people 🙂

New hobby, who dis

Picking up where we left off from the other place I suppose?
