A Rare Radioactive Element Reveals a Hidden Secret About the Heaviest Atoms
Using advanced laser spectroscopy on extremely rare radioactive material, researchers have uncovered new insights into the structure of heavy atomic nuclei. The nucleus of fermium-255 is far from...

I live in what used to be primarily an agricultural hub (now known primarily for its quantities of loosely-managed radionuclides) and grain elevators are terrifying. They're built with walls that thick because they have to be explosion-proof.

Looks like the Russians set up for another Burevestnik test. And once again, there is no evidence that anything flew.
The real tell would be if others detected radionuclides. And they haven't recently.

The monitoring vessels appear to have shuffled to a test-like configuration overnight/this morning, leaving Matochkin Shar and journeying north, up along the west coast.
But as ever; impossible to say a test is underway from vessel positions alone.
But as ever; impossible to say a test is underway from vessel positions alone.
Quick update on any possible test of Burevestnik from the Pankovo site in Novaya Zemlya:
1) The monitoring vessels are still up there
2) The NOTAMs are still active
3) The weather hasn't been great
4) TERIBERKA is on the way again from Arkhangelsk - this might explain why tug MARS is still up there

The last time they set up like this, Putin afterwards claimed some long flight. But
• No Russian photos
• No satellite photos
• No radionuclides
Nevertheless, I saw little questioning of Putin's claims.

Coal combustion enriches radionuclides in ash-but what does this mean for exposure? Scenario-based modelling indicates that resulting doses remain within acceptable safety limits.

No problem. Obviously I can't ever be super confident that a test is taking place, but can at least match it with previous observations.
But yeah, it'd be nicer if someone could catch some radionuclides from a test and publish their findings.
Surprised Russia didn't release images from last year.

We also looked at regulatory flexibilities for groundwater cleanup—which DOE has rarely used. We recommend that DOE and EPA develop options for cleaning up radionuclides for which the standards are outdated (and stricter than needed to be protective based on modern science).

Better ventilation and filtration of indoor air would have given us much better protection from: asbestos, lead, mold, flu, toxic metals dust, cold, covid, measles, other airborne viruses, radionuclides, diesel exhaust, wildfire smoke, and every other airborne particulate.

Publication of the Results for the IAEA’s Interlaboratory Comparison on the Determination of Radionuclides in ALPS Treated Water On October 5, 2026, the IAEA published a report of the results of the interlaboratory comparison (ILC) on the determination of radionuclides in ALPS treated water. The IAEA compared analysis results among TEPCO, laboratories of the IAEA and those from China, France, the Republic of Korea, and Switzerland selected by the IAEA on ALPS treated water taken from measurement/confirmation tanks in July 2025 and released its results.

A nuclear submarine needs thousands of liters of coolant per minute.
That water returns 10°C warmer, carrying zinc, nickel, hydrogen, and trace radionuclides.
The Soviet SOKS system detected this in 1969. The CIA declassified it in 2017.

Staff: Sacramento meets state and federal drinking water standards despite five contaminants above public health goals
The city's 2025 public health goals report identified five contaminants detected above the state's public health goals in groundwater sources (arsenic, hexavalent chromium, radionuclides, PFOA and PFOS) but concluded Sacramento meets regulatory standards and recommended no immediate treatment changes due to cost and limited public-health benefit.
