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

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.

Will we never learn? ~llaw

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

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

PG&E’s nuclear power plant at Avila Beach near San Luis Obispo in Southern California

On My Mind Today:

How will we ever convince the “modern” world, soon to include AI (Artificial Intelligence) in a “leading role of educational, advisory leadership, technical direction, scientific advancement, and other automated control of the minds of human beings at every level. Signs of this control are already upon us, and many of us are evaluating AI as even a “savior” of humanity that can allow us to live in technological comfort without effort for our entire lifetimes. We are already bragging about how much more intelligent AI has suddenly become at university and other education levels, and of all kinds of professions and enterprises — offering advanced mental skills that are superior to the best of human mental capability.

And there is also already an aptly named nuclear power facility — the last commercial nuclear power plant in the entire state of California — that is announcing that they will use AI to operate and maintain safety and other operations standards of producing nuclear power.

That nuclear power plant is known as the “Devil’s Canyon” plant not far from San Luis Obispo located near Avila Beach on the Pacific coast. The plant is owned by Pacific Gas & Electric, a company that has the worst safety record and operations integrity in the history of California. They have burned down California cities, accidentally blown up parts of communities, poisoned a small town, and have violated both regulatory and other laws dozens of times, some of which have forced them into bankruptcies multiple times.

And yet we are allowing this irresponsible corporation to use untested as well as the questionable logic and self-correctional skills, of AI to operate a nuclear power plant that was, by law, supposed to have been mothballed – shut down – grandfathered – by September of this year. but has somehow convinced the California and United States political powers, as well as the nuclear industry and watchdogs, including the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to let PG&E continue to operate for the sake of California’s need for electricity.

So, I have to wonder why any cognizant and responsible human beings, given what we already know about PG&E and how little we know about AI, would even consider their dangerous experiment of allowing them to be the first to use AI to operate a substantial part of a nuclear power plant — especially in California, a state that has sometime ago blackballed the whole idea of nuclear power, essentially shutting the nuclear power industry down, up until now.

Perhaps careful conservation would have been a better choice?

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

Lloyd A. Williams-Pendergraft

Jul 24, 2025

The nuclear road to hell. The choice is ours, but time is of the essence! . . . ~llaw

On My Mind Today:

In just another week, on July 31, I will Post #1,000 on this anti-all-things-nuclear blog. Actually there are more than the the numbers indicate because there was a lengthy period when I did not count the Saturday and Sunday versions because there was no commentary regarding the daily nuclear categories that were simply the weekend’s media articles for reference for my own edification and for the few of you readers who were actually interested in whatever nuclear world stories might be important on weekends.

Still, though, some of those weekend Posts were important in order to maintain the flow of some stories, such as the Russia/Ukraine war, that had important ongoing news because a war doesn’t take time-out for Saturday and Sunday.

Recognizing that, a short time ago I altered the format of the blog to include weekend commentary and my thoughts and began adding the weekends to the total blog count. I intend to continue on with the new format, although it has not yet been cast in a hard core format just yet as I make adjustments to the daily Posts.

Substack is the base for the several other media and social outlets that I use for distribution of the blog, and the site provides an excellent and fitting format for my particular Posts, and that will not change because I know I couldn’t find a better layout and configuration for what “LLAW’s NUCLEAR WORLD TODAY is all about, and the daily Posts are free — and will always be, although a caring ‘sponsor’ would be welcome — to both the writer and the readers — which brings me to the point of this subjective but essentially non-nuclear Post.

My original concept or the blog was, and still is, an attempt to provide what I consider to be the most important and dangerous subject on planet Earth because nuclear “everything” affects all human and other living species around the universal world(s), and I, having a long-time background from the heyday of nuclear power proliferation during the 1960s, ‘70s, and early ‘80s up until the 3 Mile Island, Fukushima, and Chernobyl accidents and other issues began a long period of general distaste for all things nuclear. But during the 2020s thus far I have seen a potential unbearable turn-around in the demand for more of all kinds of energy and threats of nuclear war that are perhaps are on the verge of becoming more than just political threats that keeps today’s peace even though no major international pacts and agreements remain, but a semblance of peace exists through a power struggle among the 9 nuclear powers with weapons of mass destruction and their existing potential for warfare — in particular Russia, the United States, and possibly China and North Korea.

So here we are, dealing with a schizophrenia-like double-standard fearing nuclear war while gradually also once again warming to nuclear power. This is, in my opinion, pure human insanity at work, and both uses of nuclear energy are capable of ending most life, and both can be used for nuclear war whether they are nuclear bombs or nuclear power plants.

This cannot stand if human and other life is to continue thriving, and yet I see a very simple and clear path to human extinction and other life if we do not as-soon-as-possible rid ourselves of “All Things Nuclear”.

I have never considered with this daily effort anything more than a large concerned readership — and never will — for my world-warning Posts, but I have hoped for a huge world-wide readership eventually because if we fail to come together and rid ourselve4s of “all things nuclear” we are destined, so far as I can see, toward extinction. That was and is my sole purpose for beginning this blog and continuing on with it today. It is an effort to save the human world from itself, and have hoped to tie together many other anti-nuclear organizations to a compassionate chorus of trying to save us from ourselves.

I chose Facebook as the “best” social and news outlet for the blog, mostly because there are apparently more than 3-billion of us world-wide who subscribe to the Facebook communications system. But Facebook, partly because of its own disregard and misunderstanding of my purpose (they call what I have to say negative and hateful, which is just the opposite of what it is, of course), and mostly because what I thought would bring enthusiastic readers on board to help spread the “Word” around the world. I had a good reason for believing that my concept, with lots of “friends” was realistic and valid because of a previous rush to this very same Facebook website shortly after I signed up to it and wrote about interest in a personal “UFO” story that I just happened to post, but it appears Facebook users are more excited and interested about UFOs than they are about “all things nuclear” and saving their own lives from the most dangerous substance on the planet . . .

Just know that LLAW’s NUCLEAR WORLD TODAY is not directed at my own lifestyle, financial gain, nor even my own life. I am simply an old (83+) man who knows a lot about nuclear energy and humanity’s lack of understanding of its inevitable ability to destroy life forever if we continue on with it, along with our collective limited knowledge about how and why it can lead to our eventual extinction. ~llaw

On My Mind Today:

Nuclear waste and what to do about it, how to control it, and properly dispose of it must be demanded in the United States and world-wide before any further current production or future nuclear energy facilities are allowed to produce electricity, including present day and all nuclear reactors of all shapes and sizes are evaluated and/or designed and approved to operate or to continue to operate. The nuclear industry and weak federal and international regulatory laws, procedures, and compliance requirements have long been neither created nor enforced by regulations.

Most nuclear waste is “stored” at the nuclear reactor sites supervised by the operators who produce the waste because they have no other place to store it — partly because they do not recycle the radioactive waste during the nuclear energy process because it is considered too expensive to do so. So, once again, money is the “root of all evil”.

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

Lloyd A. Williams-Pendergraft

Jul 22, 2025

On My Mind Today:

I cannot help but continue to wonder if Trump’s caveman method of dealing with Iran is creating a void that is so large that Russia and China will take Iran under their wings and use the hatred dumped on Iran by the United States, Israel, and the possibly the United Nations. Apparently Iran has no intention of meeting with the U.S. at all in an effort to restore nuclear-based talks that could renew a mutual opportunity for a agreement similar to the old Obama-based agreement that Trump destroyed, which has actually been responsible for much of the world’s tension about Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Iran has decided to bypass all future USA talks and possible agreements in favor of cover from both Russia and China. This, then becomes an even more dangerous political situation than ever before . . .

Iran’s Foreign Ministry officially confirmed that trilateral nuclear talks with Russia and China are set to take place in Tehran at the Director General level, with the Snapback Mechanism a key topic of discussion. Spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei noted that the consultations had been productive over the past year and emphasized that, although cooperation with Russia and China is ongoing, there are no plans at present for direct talks with the United States.

That is not a good situation, and Trump’s never-ending undiplomatic bullying exacerbates the scenario by announcing, ‘We will do it again, if necessary!’, referring to his previous attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities. I can only wonder why that would ever be “necessary” since he announced to the world the very next day after the bombing that the USA has already “obliterated” them.

As the tension grows, we can only wait and see what the final outcome will be, but I doubt anything good or helpful will come of it — especially for the United States and Israel who may end up with no international allies other than themselves. ~llaw

Module on radioactive waste disposal - TU Berlin

On My Mind Today:

Ok, so Trump has terminated the positions of all but one of the 11 member Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board because it seems he and the nuclear industry want to quadruple nuclear power by 2050 and to hell with the environment. This is not OK!

I have recently mentioned that we have made the long ago mistake-riddled nuclear “cart before the horse”, and this incredibly insane action by our obviously demented president puts the need for nuclear cleanup, control, storage, and the complicated problem of existing nuclear waste disposal several hundred more miles — or should I say years — behind the “cart” of nuclear power production, which already threatens not only the USA but other countries around the world except maybe Australia and New Zealand who have long resisted any use of nuclear power, including the idea of nuclear power proliferation.

But of course the nuclear industry is all for it because the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) along with us, meaning you and me, will pay the price in both the short and long-terms of this life-threatening decision. In short, we have no idea what we are doing where “all things nuclear” are considered. It is like Jesus Christ asking God to forgive his crucifiers, which went something like this: “Father forgive them for they know not what they are doing”, only probably even worse because the entire world’s population of humans and most other living species is involved if something goes wrong.

So, it appears we will have not only the threat of nuclear war on our hands, but also the threat of all kinds of nuclear power politics and manufacturing mistakes, accidents, potential terrorism, and the already happening — see the Russia/Ukraine war in the case of power plants but not yet bombs — consolidation of nuclear power with nuclear war because a nuclear power plant is also a potential localized in-place nuclear bomb.

There is a logical scenario that is already publicly seriously considered where the nuclear bombing of a nuclear power plant adds to the effective success of nuclear war. So, I ask you — would you want any more nuclear power plants near your home than you already have? ~llaw

On My Mind Today:

This International commitment, much needed in today’s nuclear world, and so well recognized and expressed by Pope Leo XIV in a tense time of conflict that needs to disappear before we disappear ourselves forever . . .

May be an image of 1 person and text that says '|wish to renew my appeal to responsibility and reason. The commitment to building a safer world, free from the nuclear threat, must be pursued through respectful encounters and sincere dialogue to build a lasting peace, founded on justice, fraternity, and the common good. No one should ever ever threaten another's existence. Itis It is the duty of all countries to support the cause of peace, initiating paths of reconciliation and promoting solutions that guarantee security and dignity for all " Pope Leo XIV'

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

Lloyd A. Williams-Pendergraft

Jul 19, 2025

On My Mind Today:

Naivety . . .

As an example of what would appear to be “naïve”, this headline from MSN today actually made me laugh bitterly, but then, like the Chernobyl nuclear power plant meltdown, the effect on human health was and is a major issue that humanity needs to be very much aware of. But nuclear war? That’s a horse of another color, and using the word “health” along with today’s nuclear warfare capability is the ultimate in understatements.

However, the point I make is that it’s probably still worth reading the short article, which does use Chernobyl as an example — and which I pictured and mentioned in yesterdays’ blog— even though that disaster had absolutely nothing to do with nuclear war, but rather it happened because of human error in the plant design.

So, if you would like to read the short article, here is the link, or you can also find it in the “All Things Nuclear” category in TODAY’S ALL NUCLEAR WORLD’S NEWS, just below . . .

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/what-nuclear-war-does-to-human-health/ar-AA1IMfJY

When we consider nuclear war, the first thing that comes to mind tends to be a humongous mushroom cloud or a levelled city. But the truth extends far beyond the initial blast—and it’s scarier yet. The medical fallout of nuclear war is one of the worst threats ever to afflict humanity, with effects rippling on for generations, destabilizing societies, and even altering the planet’s climate.
