End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity” ~llaw

On My Mind Today:
Some of my readers have asked me why I occasionally relate the old cartoon Alley Oop and his female companion, Ooola, and dinosaurs to my “LLAW’s NUCLEAR WORLD TODAY” blog.
It’s because of the history of uranium — the fuel for nuclear reactors. The 5 -minute You Tube story below will tell you why, but it is exceptionally interesting in other ways as well — such as a bit of the history of Moab, Utah, once known as the uranium capitol of the world, as well as the sadly unrealized damage to the health of uranium explorers and workers in the early days of the relatively unregulated industry . . . ~llaw
ABOUT THE FOLLOWING ACCESS TO “LLAW’s All Nuclear Daily Digest” RELATED MEDIA”:
There are 7 categories, including a bonus non-nuclear category for news about the Yellowstone caldera and other volcanic and caldera activity around the world that also play an important role in the survival of human and other life.
The feature categories provide articles and information about ‘all things nuclear’ for you to pick from, usually with up to 3 links with headlines concerning the most important media stories in each category, but sometimes fewer and occasionally even none (especially so with the Yellowstone Caldera). The Categories are listed below in their usual order:
- All Things Nuclear
- Nuclear Power
- Nuclear Power Emergencies
- Nuclear War Threats
- Nuclear War
- Yellowstone Caldera (Note: There are two Yellowstone Caldera bonus stories available in today’s Post.)
- IAEA News (Friday’s only) (NOTE: It’s back!)
A current Digest of major nuclear media headlines with automated links is listed below by nuclear Category (in the above listed order). If a Category heading does not appear in the daily news Digest, it means there was no news reported from this Category today. Generally, the three best articles in each Category from around the nuclear world(s) are Posted. Occasionally, if a Post is important enough, it may be listed in multiple Categories.
