Tackling the threat of nuclear terrorism
The only effective way to tackle the threat of nuclear terrorism is to abolish nuclear weapons and establish strict international control of all fissile materials that could be used to make new weapons, argue three US physicians in this week's BMJ. In the aftermath of 11 September 2001, nuclear... view more (2002-02-06)

Location, location, location: Transcriptional activity and nuclear position
Dr. Mark Groudine (FHCRC) and colleagues report on their surprising characterization of changes in intranuclear organization during murine erythropoiesis.   view more (2006-05-18)

What Shall We Do With Nuclear Waste?
There are two ways of dealing with the problem of nuclear waste. The first one is the easiest but not the most sensible: you can simply bury nuclear waste products and try to forget about them. However, this way does not seem to be the most rational. It seems much more attractive to try to derive... view more (2002-03-12)

Nuclear weapons continue to pose a serious health risk in Europe
Nuclear weapons in various European countries, particularly Russia, pose a serious threat to health, argues a letter in this week's BMJ.   view more (2005-07-25)

VTT and the French Atomic Energy Commission CEA sign a cooperation agreement on nuclear energy research
VTT`s Director General, Erkki KM Lepp'¤vuori and the French CEA`s Director, Pascal Colombani signed an agreement on research cooperation in Paris . The agreement covers technology and research cooperations in the fields of spent nuclear fuels and nuclear waste management, nuclear research, training... view more (2002-11-14)

Sustainable nuclear energy moves a step closer
In future a new generation of nuclear reactors will create energy, while producing virtually no long-lasting nuclear waste, according to research conducted by Wilfred van Rooijen, who will receive his Delft University of Technology PhD degree based on this research subject on Tuesday, 12 December.   view more (2006-12-12)

Reactor of the future destroys nuclear waste--KTH to head major EU project to cut storage times dramatically
A power plant that generates energy from used nuclear waste and destroys it as well. Could this become a reality? A three-year research project involving 23 European partners coordinated by KTH is being launched to investigate the matter. In the last few years great strides have been taken in... view more (2004-03-18)

A wasted opportunity?
British biologists are urging UK Departments of the Environment to expand a proposed two-year research programme into nuclear waste disposal in length and range to at least five years. Without knowledge of the biological and geological effects for each radioactive isotope, it will be impossible to... view more (2002-03-19)

People Power Over Nuclear Issues
Warren, from the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, UK, says, "Nowhere in this process [developing nuclear facilities] is account taken of what shapes the public's perception of the whole process." The nuclear industry is too keen to blind people with science in presenting its plans, she... view more (1999-02-01)

Nuclear weapons in terrorist hands?
Are nuclear weapons of the simpler variety in the hands of a terrorist group- a realistic threat? That question has been studied in a report from FOI (Swedish Defence Research Agency), and the conclusion is that the possibility of nuclear charges being used for terror ends cannot be written off.... view more (2004-01-16)

After North Korea test, what can be done to reduce the growing nuclear threat?
In the wake of the announcement of a nuclear test by North Korea, new questions have been raised about proliferation and the threat of nuclear terrorism. Is nuclear terrorism preventable?   view more (2006-10-16)

Is it possible to reduce the threat of nuclear terrorism?
Nuclear terrorism is the gravest international security challenge today. Is the United States prepared to cope with this very real threat? Is nuclear terrorism preventable? What steps has the U.S. already taken to avoid this catastrophe and what steps should be taken in the future?   view more (2006-09-01)

Mouse stem cell line advance suggests potential for IVF-incompetent eggs
Researchers have found that mouse oocytes that fail to become fertilized during in vitro fertilization are nevertheless often capable of succeeding as "cytoplasmic donors" during a subsequent cloning step using so-called nuclear transfer.   view more (2007-02-20)

Statin use associated with reduced risk of common type of cataract
The use of statins is linked with a lower incidence of nuclear cataract, the most common type of age-related cataract.   view more (2006-06-21)

Nature at the femto-scale - a new booklet from FINUPHY
A non-expert's guide to European research into the nucleus and its applications To explain the exciting programme of European nuclear research, FINUPHY (Frontiers in Nuclear Physics) has produced a booklet which presents the science and applications at a non-expert level. Scientists already... view more (2004-05-27)

Cosmic radiation associated with risk of cataract in airline pilots
Airline pilots have an increased risk of nuclear cataracts-common type of cataract, associated with aging-compared with non-pilots, and that risk is associated with cumulative exposure to cosmic radiation.   view more (2005-08-09)

Nuclear cannibals
Nuclear energy production must increase by more than 10 percent each year from 2010 to 2050 to meet all future energy demands and replace fossil fuels, but this is an unsustainable prospect.   view more (2008-03-05)

Scientists discover cheap and environmentally friendly way to dispose of waste from nuclear power plants
Scientists from the University of Strathclyde, collaborating with an international team from Imperial College, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory(RAL), ITU (Karlsruhe) and the University of Jena, have successfully turned the radioactive isotope Iodine-129, a major waste product in the nuclear power... view more (2003-08-13)

U of T researchers reveal Epstein-Barr virus protein contributes to cancer
Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered that the EBNA1 protein of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) disrupts structures in the nucleus of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells, thereby interfering with cellular processes that normally prevent cancer development.   view more (2008-10-07)

Radioactive Waste in Britian
Sir Herman Bondi, writing in the foreword for this issue says, "It is very important that when the day comes for governments to take decisions on the vexed topic of nuclear waste, all aspects of it should have been studied thoroughly. I warmly recommend this special issue of ISR to its regular... view more (1998-12-21)

Researchers solve mystery of how nuclear pores duplicate before cell division
Researchers have long wondered how nuclear pores - the all-important channels that control the flow of information in and out of a cell's nucleus - double in number to prepare for the split to come when a cell divides.   view more (2006-04-21)

Nuclear medicine now safer than ever
Hospitals are now able to ensure that the correct dose is administered to the 670,000 patients that undergo nuclear medicine procedures every year due to a new device developed by scientists at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL).   view more (2007-10-11)

MIT: Lack of fuel may limit US nuclear power expansion
