On My Mind Today:

I have a very important question or two for today: Has the entire world gone completely bonkers? Is genocide the most important thing on the minds of our international leaders and half the world-population that follow these power-starved and overfed oppressive tyrants who control us like pawns in a chess game?

It is becoming more obvious every day that WWIII is on the minds of the world’s abusive dictators who are constantly refuting any form of a democratic-republic form of government. It’s as if they are on the verge of taking out at least half of the world population as if the excessive number of sentient human beings is too much to tolerate — perhaps like the idea of a necessary “thinning of the herd?”.

The problem seems to be for this ruthless cadre of selfish men is something like, “well, if we destroy half the human population, how do we ensure that we save ourselves and those who serve us? A nuclear war is necessary to accomplish the task, but it may be too much, although other means of thinning, like conventional war doesn’t accomplish the ultimate goal.”

And so it is that the world-wide fear of an over-crowded mass of humanity is protected by a flimsy thing called “nuclear deterrence” — where one nuclear power fears the others along the nuclear-armed pecking order as we annually strengthen our nuclear weapons of mass destruction to avoid exterminating us all as well as ourselves, including those so-called “world leaders” and their subservient cronies. Such an unwritten agreement, as “deterrence” will bankrupt humanity and cannot continue on forever because the weapons themselves will become the victorious force controlled by AI that will care nothing about humanity, whether or not they are at the top of the food chain, and those at the top already know that so sooner or later they will have to react.

So it will be that one desperate individual mad-man from one desperate country who will give up on the “deterrence” concept and use his country’s nuclear weapons of mass destruction to attack and summarily end whatever country he believes will be his country’s most immediate threat.

Of course that will incite the other mad-men to unleash their country’s nuclear weapons and that will, in a matter of minutes, become the end of the world as we know it.

As Albert Einstein said, “”I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” And that pretty much speaks to our future returning us to a “cavemen” society . . . llaw

On My Mind Today

(I am way behind schedule today, so I will offer this bit of personal data about my time in the nuclear world) . . .

The Lucky Mc site — including a twice daily one-way 45-mile commute from the town of Riverton, Wyoming, to the minesite and back, is the place, in the late 1960s, where I first began my career in administration in the nuclear world of mining, milling, and selling uranium fuel to the government-owned and operated Tennessee Valley Authority, and soon after to nuclear power plants overseas and the newly authorized nuclear plants in the USA coming online for the first time in the United States. The company was owned by Utah International Inc. in San Francisco, — where I spent a lot of time — and over the years the company eventually merged with General Electric in 1976, later becoming known as Pathfinder Mines Corporation. I resigned from General Electric in the spring of 1980 for personal reasons with concerns about the nuclear industry. ~llaw

Pathfinder – Lucky Mc (Gas Hills North)

1.0 General Site Information

Site Location:Gas Hills Mining District, WYFormer NRC License No.:SUA-672NRC Docket No.:40-2259Agreement State Contact:Brandi O’Brien307-777-6435NRC Agreement State Site Monitor:Duncan WhiteDuncan.White@nrc.govNRC Site Monitor:Thomas LancasterThomas.Lancaster@nrc.gov

2.0 Site Description

The Lucky Mc site is located in west central Wyoming in the Gas Hills region in Fremont County, Wyoming. The site is about 45 miles southeast of Riverton, Wyoming (Figure 1).

Figure 1. Lucky Mc Uranium Mill Site Location Map

3.0 Site History

Uranium milling began at this site in 1958 and continued through 1988 with a total of 12 million tons of ore processed. The mill utilized a conventional acid leach process. The facility area included approximately 56 acres for the mill, 241 acres for the post-reclamation tailings piles, 1,276 acres for the disposal site, and 6 tailings ponds (Figure 2). The mill was demolished and placed in the outslope of the No. 2 Tailings Dam, with a clay-radon barrier placed over the material. The mill area includes approximately 56 acres. The site has three solid tailings impoundments and three tailings solution ponds. The post-reclamation tailings piles cover approximately 241 acres.

Figure 2. Lucky Mc Site Layout Source: U.S. Department of Energy. “Long-Term Surveillance Plan for the Gas Hills North UMTRCA Title II Disposal Site, Fremont County, Wyoming.” Grand Junction, Colorado: U.S. Department of Energy. 2009.

The Construction Completion Report was submitted to the NRC on April 21, 2005. NRC staff approved the Construction Completion Report in October 2006. NRC staff approved an amendment request to remove two offsite wells (AL-8 and AL-9) from the approved groundwater monitoring network. The license amendment was issued 6/2008. In February 2009, NRC staff received for review, the DOE Long-Term Surveillance Plan (LTSP) for the Gas Hills North Site (Pathfinder-Lucky Mc) dated January 2009. The LTSP explains how DOE will fulfill requirements as the long term custodian of the Gas Hills North Site, including inspecting, monitoring, conducting maintenance, fulfilling annual and other reporting requirements, and maintaining records pertaining to the site.

Tailings Management and Disposal

The former tailings system consisted of a series of earthen embankments across Reid Draw, extending over 2 miles down the draw (Figure 2). The upper portion of the tailings system included Tailings Ponds 1, 2, and 2A, which were located immediately north of the former mill and contained all of the solid tailings generated at the site. Further downgradient and north of the solid tailings pond were three solution ponds (Tailings Ponds 3, 3A, and 4) that held the barren solution (recoverable uranium had been removed) that was generally not recycled through the mill. This solution had low pH (2.0–3.0) and contained high concentrations of dissolved solids (including various heavy metals) and radionuclides such as thorium-230 and radium-226. In addition, a temporary pond was used as a pump back treatment system for receiving solutions from excursion well cleanup and groundwater sweep, surface water runoff, and solution water for construction and dust control within the cells. On December 20, 2002, alternate concentration limits were approved for the Lucky Mc site, and all mill tailings reclamation was completed on December 14, 2004.

4.0 Current NRC actions/status

NRC currently has no actions for the site until the CRR is submitted by the State of Wyoming.

“End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity” ~llaw

Lloyd A. Williams-Pendergraft

Aug 02, 2025

On My Mind Today:

Trump tells the world that a couple of Nuclear submarines have been moved ‘closer’ to Russia over an argument with Dimitri Medvedev — once, long ago, the Russian President — whose title is now Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation and who has no authority to declare, nuclear nor any other kind of war on any country. He is an “advisor” to Putin. So why is Trump arguing about nuclear war with Medvedev and announcing that he has moved a couple of “nuclear submarines” closer to Russia? It is, so far as I can tell, just another duplicitous political stunt that in reality means absolutely nothing, except a half-assed attempt of a ‘power trip’ that only, as always, proves to us all that this mentally-challenged and deceitful man is incompetent and incapable of managing his presidency or anything else. He even cheats at golf.

And here’s why: As described by “Quora” no one knows the difference between a nuclear-powered submarine and a nuclear-powered submarine carrying nuclear weapons except for two ranking sailors onboard and an on-board crew with a “need to know”. So here is the official typical response to anyone, including, I assume, our president, who asks such a question . . .

“The standard response is usually along the lines of : “we can neither confirm nor deny the presence of nuclear weapons onboard “USS X”.

In most instances, a sub may be designed to carry conventional or nuclear weapons, but at no time does anyone but people assigned to the 2-man integrity security protocol have a need to know if nuclear weapons are currently stored or scheduled to be deployed onboard that particular vessel.

Depending on what mission parameters may be, that alone will likely determine if a sub is deployed with nuclear weapons of any kind, but the need to know is usually only the crew and those placed with the responsibility of testing and safeguarding those weapons onboard that platform regardless of what type sub it happens to be.”

Trump is not one of those crew members. Even if Trump were to “know” he would not be allowed to report such information to anyone, including the media and public . . .

So it goes that the term “nuclear” included with submarine means no more than the submarine uses nuclear power to operate.

So, I have to ask the world — what is Trump’s agenda and for what purpose? I suspect it is nothing more than an attempt to divide and conquer nothing more than the media, the common people, an “Epstein/Trump sexual-abuse diversion, and pretense that he is separating himself from Putin in order to save face over his belligerent and undemocratic treatment of Ukraine. ~llaw

On My Mind Today:

It is so good to have the IAEA weekly news back — and again available once a week on Friday’s. So, to welcome the IAEA’s important weekly reports back, I’ve posted a fresh update concerning Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) from the IAEA Inspector General relative to the Russia/Ukraine war that has been, perhaps wrongly so, relegated to the background of other issues, like Trump’s dangerous meddling in both important nuclear issues (war and power), which are concerning to both the U.S. and around the world, which we will take a new look at tomorrow. ~llaw

Ukraine’s Russia war troubled Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP)

• Update 306 – IAEA Director General Statement on Situation in Ukraine

Update 306 – IAEA Director General Statement on Situation in Ukraine

30 Jul 2025

73/2025

Vienna, Austria

The IAEA team based at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) carried out independent measurements today to confirm that there had been no increase in radiation levels at the site, contrary to some social media posts overnight, Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said.

Using IAEA monitoring equipment, the team members measured only normal levels during a site walkdown. Their measurements confirmed other data collected separately at the site, as well as information provided by the plant itself.

“The team took immediate action after becoming aware of these social media reports, enabling us to provide assurances that radiation levels remained unchanged. Once again, this shows the importance of the IAEA’s presence at the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant and Ukraine’s other nuclear power sites. Thanks to this presence, we can provide timely, factual and impartial technical information to the public about nuclear safety and security in Ukraine,” Director General Grossi said.

The general nuclear safety situation at the ZNPP remains precarious, however, with the plant continuing to rely on one single power line for the electricity it needs to cool its reactors and for other essential nuclear safety and security functions. Before the conflict, it had access to 10 external power lines.

In addition, the IAEA team reported hearing military activities almost every day over the past week, at different distances from the site, which is located on the frontline.

Earlier this week, the team members performed a walkdown of a turbine hall of one reactor unit where they were once again denied access to the western part of the hall.

The IAEA teams present at Ukraine’s operating nuclear power plants (NPPs) — Khmelnytskyy, Rivne and South Ukraine NPPs – and the Chornobyl NPP site reported hearing air raid alarms nearly every day over the past week. At Khmelnytskyy, the team had to shelter twice on 28 July.

Three of Ukraine’s nine operating reactor units continued to be in shutdown for refuelling and maintenance, including work on some of the off-site power lines.

As part of the IAEA’s comprehensive assistance programme to support nuclear safety and security in Ukraine, the Slavutych City Hospital this week received mobile radiography equipment and the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center and Hydrometeorological organizations of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine received laboratory equipment. These deliveries were funded by Australia, the European Union and Norway.

“End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity” ~llaw

Lloyd A. Williams-Pendergraft

Jul 31, 2025

On My Mind Today:

Today ‘s Post marks the 1,000th LLAW’s NUCLEAR WORLD TODAY consecutive daily edition that began on Friday, November 4th, 2022, posting only on Facebook and my “LLAW’S WORLDS’ website. I began Posting from “Substack”, using their much superior ‘Dashboard’ in October of 2023, and also began adding selected online media and social outlets beyond just Substack and Facebook at that time. But I — and others of like anti-nuclear minds — must take up the cudgel against “all things nuclear” and do much more and much better in order in our collective effort to save not only the human population on planet Earth but most other life as well.

As for readers, especially all who are always welcome to become free subscribers — I will never charge for subscriptions because financial gain is not my goal here, But I would welcome operational and eventual financial help from interested media and/or social sponsors. I have been especially disappointed with Facebook, which over the years rates, on average, only about 5% of my Blog’s readership. I had hoped that Facebook would attract more than any other media or social outlet because they have, or so they estimate, nearly 3 billion 30-day or daily users world-wide, and my daily Posts, which are essentially every day reasons and warnings against all use of radioactively poisonous nuclear fuel — especially nuclear weapons of mass destruction and their closely related cousins, nuclear power plants.

So it is that our desperate need to reach a large percentage of the world’s population has not been thus far successful, but the need to reach as many free subscribers and everyday readers as possible must go on. I have long hoped that other anti-nuclear individuals and groups or organizations would take on their own repetitive blogs, articles, and reports, etc. to alert the world’s unaware population that “all things nuclear” must become non-existent before we are all more than likely to perish if we continue on along the treacherous path toward this deadly and unforgiving growing like an incurable cancer on this insane nuclear world.

There remains, for now, a way out, but it requires the collective help of all of us — and time is of the essence . . . ~llaw

A living dinosaur (even a T-Rex) was far less dangerous than an extinct one is today . . . ~llaw

On My Mind Today:

Instead of proliferating nuclear bombs, constructing new nuclear power plants, or restarting long ago mothballed unreliable old ones, which is beyond risky — more like foolhardy — we should be shutting them all down, developing a way to rid ourselves of existing nuclear fuel and nuclear waste instead of adding more, and moving on as a united world of peace toward concentrating only on renewable resources for power consumption and no weapons of war.

We also don’t need “artificial suns” (nuclear fusion) when we have a perfectly good one that has kept us alive along with the earth’s natural resources since the arrival of humans and other life on planet Earth.

If cleaning up our dirty nuclear earthly home interferes with the growing nuclear-energy gluttons we know as Information Technology (IT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) — that want to control the worlds of the future — that’s just too bad, but so be it; we shouldn’t want them nor should we think we need them. We have to clean up our global act to survive, and, if we do, we will be far better off without anything nuclear, allowing us all to live to see another day after all. ~llaw

The graduating class at the elite Deep Springs College that included women students . . .

On My Mind Today:

It is a quiet and cheerful Sunday here in Reno, Nevada, except for the news of nuclear threats from Trump once again threatening to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities, in order to “wipe it out faster“ contradicting that he had once, not long ago, bragged that he had succeeded in “demolishing” their nuclear program, and Putin wreaking “holy hell” on Ukraine and the constant drumbeat of related threats of nuclear war, according to Sunday’s nuclear media news. If only world politics and war were nothing more than a fictional tale, all would be well. We all could wish as much.

And, speaking of fictional tales, for me at least, as I work “feverishly” on my next novel “El Nuclear Diablo” that I hope to publish late next spring, having finally recovered from a long-stifling block in the geography and the added difficulty of adapting two important main characters into the opening chapters of the story — both of which had been causing me trouble since I had first begun the tale a few years ago — but were then, and still are, key to the organization and story-line of the entire flow of the tome. The problem was resolved, not by me, but an actual change in the student-body of a small college in rural California that I had found impossible to work around.

The novel, when finished, will clearly point out that nuclear war is not at all the only life-threatening beginning and end-all of mankind’s demise, but more about how the ever-growing use of nuclear power to accommodate humanity’s immense demand for electricity can go dramatically and diametrically wrong, creating a very real similar threat to life on planet Earth as, say, WWIII. ~llaw

US supercomputer trains AI on 53 million nuclear docs for faster plant approvals

On My Mind Today:

There are a couple of articles in “TODAY’S ALL NUCLEAR WORLD’S NEWS” that terrify me nearly as much as nuclear war. My mind cannot get around how we humans, who believe we are at the top of the intelligence chain could so much as consider them to become a part of our intellectual and geographical industrial energy system: Artificial Intelligence (AI) managing nuclear power, and the construction of operating nuclear power plants in highly populated areas.

There is an axiom in the nature of life that holds true in every conceivable action of human life that goes something like this: That which is potentially dangerous to life of all kinds, becomes mathematically more dangerous by multiplying the danger, and that is precisely what the concepts of humans relying on AI’s ability to keep us safe in dangerous situations and building more nuclear power plants — especially in congested cities and sensitive environmental areas. Yet that is the scenario we seem to be headed for in the not-far-distant future . . .

I can say this about both of these ridiculous ideas becoming reality: AI will never have the ability to realize that it has made an internal operations mistake and manage to correct it on its own ingenuity and concern before a nuclear disaster occurs. And next-door-neighbor nuclear power plants are like spreading a plague or other highly common extremely poisonous toxic substance to crowded conditions in confined places.

On My Mind Today:

It’s been awhile since I have posted anything about the Yellowstone Caldera, but I’ve noticed lately that there are both concerning scientific evidence and unsettled physical indications that the caldera is stirring — perhaps seriously.

Consequently I am going to Post one of 3 media posts from today that may be worth tracking further as time goes by.

And there is a rather silly, perhaps meaningless, question here: Will Yellowstone and other calderas and volcanoes beat Nuclear bombs and power plants to the next (6th) extinction on planet Earth? ~llaw

The Yellowstone Caldera is a 30×45 mile (50×70 km) depression which was formed by a cataclysmic eruption some 640,000 years ago.

Scientists discover ominous sign that Yellowstone’s supervolcano is building up to an eruption

By WILIAM HUNTER

Published: 05:32 EDT, 22 July 2025 | Updated: 05:32 EDT, 22 July 2025

Scientists have discovered an ominous sign which could hint that Yellowstone’s supervolcano is building up to an eruption.

Using machine learning, researchers found there have been over 86,000 hidden earthquakes between 2008 and 2022.

That is 10 times more tremors than scientists had previously detected.

Worryingly, more than half of those earthquakes came in swarms – small groups of interconnected tremors – which have been known to precede volcanic activity.

The researchers say these ‘chaotic’ swarms were found moving along rough, young fault lines running deep below the Yellowstone Caldera.

These clusters of seismic activity are likely caused by hot, mineral-rich water forcing itself through cracks in the rock.

Yellowstone is one of the world’s largest active volcanoes – and if it erupted, it would cover up to two-thirds of the US with ash.

Entire states could become uninhabitable as toxic air sweeps through them, grounding thousands of flights and forcing millions to leave their homes.

Scientists have spotted an ominous sign that the supervolcano below Yellowstone (pictured) could be building up to an eruption

The Yellowstone Caldera is a 30×45 mile (50×70 km) depression which was formed by a cataclysmic eruption some 640,000 years ago.

After the eruption emptied out its enormous magma chamber, the land left on top collapsed into the hollow space to form the caldera.

When scientists want to look for seismic activity around the caldera, they normally have to manually inspect vast amounts of data.

However, by using machine learning techniques, Dr Li and his co-authors were able to comb through years of past seismic recordings to look for previously undetected tremors.

Dr Bing Li, an expert on earthquake mechanics from Western University, says: ‘If we had to do it old school with someone manually clicking through all this data looking for earthquakes, you couldn’t do it. It’s not scalable.’

This revealed that tens of thousands of earthquake swarms had been missed by earlier manual inspections.

Earthquake swarms are not like the familiar shock and aftershock pattern where one big event is followed by a number of smaller tremors.

Instead, swarms occur as clusters of small earthquakes which rapidly spread and shift over a small area within a short period of time.

Scientists used machine learning to detect over 86,000 hidden earthquakes between 2008 and 2022. That is ten times more earthquakes than had previously been spotted. These graphs show where they were found, as well as how deep and far along the fault they occurred

The researchers say these ‘earthquake swarms’ are likely caused by the movement of superheated liquids beneath the volcano caldera. These same geothermal processes are the reason that Yellowstone produces its famous geysers

Are earthquake swarms a sign of an eruption?

Earthquake swarms are groups of small, interconnected earthquakes that spread and shift within a relatively small area over a relatively short period of time.

These can sometimes be caused by the movement of magma deep below the Earth’s surface.

In some cases, this means earthquake swarms can precede volcanic activity.

This has been the case in major eruptions such as those in Iceland last year.

However, swarms can also be caused by shallower movements of gas and liquids in the rock.

These are more common and do not signal that any volcanic activity is likely.

In some cases, this can be caused by molten magma moving upwards through the mantle and crust, building up pressure which can hint at an upcoming eruption.

However, volcano experts say this is likely not the case in the Yellowstone Caldera.

Professor Valentin Troll, a volcano expert from Uppsala University in Sweden who was not involved in the study, told MailOnline: ‘The seismic record reveals episodic activity that occurs in clusters within the upper 10 km beneath the volcano, primarily along pre-existing fault structures.

‘These clusters are not associated with deep seismicity; in other words, there is no direct evidence of magma recharge from greater depths. Instead, the seismicity is largely confined to the interior of the volcano.’

This kind of activity within the existing volcano is usually caused by the movement of gases and liquids disturbing the ground.

As the authors suggest, pressurised liquids are a particularly likely culprit since they lubricate faults in the rock, leading to slips that cause earthquake swarms.

Professor Troll says that this can lead to ‘hydrous and gas-driven eruptions’ in which steam or gases are ejected out of the ground.

This was demonstrated by the hydrothermal explosion at Yellowstone’s Biscuit Basin last summer, in which a blast of steam sent rocks flying hundreds of feet into the air.

Experts say the swarm activity is not an indication of an upcoming major eruption but could lead to ‘hydrous and gas-driven’ eruptions like those which caused a major explosion at Biscuit Basin last summer (pictured)

This comes after a new pool appeared at Yellowstone National Park (pictured), likely formed in a series of mildly explosive events between late December 2024 and early February 2025. The rocks and white material (silica mud) surrounding the pool were probably ejected as the feature formed

Similar explosions are the likely cause of a 13-foot pool which recently appeared at Norris Geyser Basin – one of the hottest, oldest and most dynamic of Yellowstone’s thermal areas.

However, these swarms are not an indication that a devastating magma-driven eruption is on the way.

Instead, the researchers say that their findings are a valuable tool to help understand and prepare for other eruptions in the future.

These same machine learning techniques could be applied to other historical seismic records to help scientists listen to ‘Earth’s volcanic heartbeat’.

Dr Li says: ‘While Yellowstone and other volcanoes each have unique features, the hope is that these insights can be applied elsewhere.

‘By understanding patterns of seismicity, like earthquake swarms, we can improve safety measures, better inform the public about potential risks, and even guide geothermal energy development away from danger in areas with promising heat flow.’

COULD AN ERUPTION AT THE YELLOWSTONE SUPERVOLCANO BE PREVENTED?

Recent research found a small magma chamber, known as the upper-crustal magma reservoir, beneath the surface

Nasa believes drilling up to six miles (10km) down into the supervolcano beneath Yellowstone National Park to pump in water at high pressure could cool it.

Despite the fact that the mission would cost $3.46 billion (£2.63 billion), Nasa considers it ‘the most viable solution.’

Using the heat as a resource also poses an opportunity to pay for plan – it could be used to create a geothermal plant, which generates electric power at extremely competitive prices of around $0.10 (£0.08) per kWh.

But this method of subduing a supervolcano has the potential to backfire and trigger the supervolcanic eruption Nasa is trying to prevent.

‘Drilling into the top of the magma chamber ‘would be very risky;’ however, carefully drilling from the lower sides could work.

This USGS graphic shows how a ‘super eruption’ of the molten lava under Yellowstone National Park would spread ash across the United States

Even besides the potential devastating risks, the plan to cool Yellowstone with drilling is not simple.

Doing so would be an excruciatingly slow process that one happen at the rate of one metre a year, meaning it would take tens of thousands of years to cool it completely.

And still, there wouldn’t be a guarantee it would be successful for at least hundreds or possibly thousands of years.
