☆ US Moves Closer to Underground Testing of Nuclear Weapons Stockpile Without Any Actual Explosions

The hope is to answer many pivotal questions about whether the nation's aging nuclear weapons still work as designed. Political Cartoons View All 1202 ImagesDuring the Cold War, those questions were answered by actually setting off nuclear explosions. The experimental machine the length of a football field eventually will sit 1,000 feet (304 meters) below the ground at the Nevada National Security Site. Custer said above-ground facilities have tested explosive behaviors of other materials but the Scorpius experiments will use real plutonium, which is unique. Assembly testing is planned through most of 2025 before the Nevada site will move the injector underground.

☆ A Lab Leak in China Most Likely Origin of Covid Pandemic, Energy Department Says

A campus of the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China, in 2020. WASHINGTON—The U.S. Energy Department has concluded that the Covid pandemic most likely arose from a laboratory leak, according to a classified intelligence report recently provided to the White House and key members of Congress. The shift by the Energy Department, which previously was undecided on how the virus emerged, is noted in an update to a 2021 document by Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines ’s office.
☆ We have 'ignition': Fusion breakthrough draws energy gain

U.S. scientists have achieved “ignition” — a fusion reaction that produced more energy than it took to create — a critical milestone for nuclear fusion and a step forward in the pursuit of a nearly limitless source of clean energy, Energy Department officials said Tuesday. The process imploded a tiny capsule inside the hohlraum that is filled with deuterium and tritium, creating a fusion reaction. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory"We have taken the first tentative steps toward a clean energy source," said Jill Hruby, the Energy Department's National Nuclear Security Administration. The Inflation Reduction Act provided millions in new funding for fusion projects and the White House this year convened the first fusion summit and developed a 10-year plan to commercialize fusion technology.
