The Milky Way is packed with star clusters – thousands of them. They contain anywhere from a few dozen stars to more than a million. And the most impressive of them all is right in the middle – it surrounds the supermassive black hole at the heart of the galaxy. The Nuclear Star Cluster contains up to 10 million stars. They extend a couple of dozen light-years from the black hole in every direction. But most of them are packed in close. If our part of the galaxy were that densely settled, we’d have a million stars closer to us than our current closest neighbor, Alpha Centauri. So any planets in the cluster would never see a dark night. Most of the stars in the cluster formed about 10 billion years ago, when the galaxy was young. But there was another wave of starbirth about three billion years ago, and a smaller one just a hundred million years ago. Each wave might have been triggered when the Milky Way swallowed a smaller galaxy. As the galaxies merged, clouds of gas and dust settled in the middle, around the Milky Way’s black hole. That gave birth to new stars – populating the galaxy’s most impressive cluster. The cluster is in Sagittarius, which is due south at nightfall. The constellation looks like a teapot. The center of the galaxy is in the “steam” rising from the spout. But giant clouds of dust absorb the light from the galaxy’s heart, so it takes special instruments to see the cluster.

The gang discusses the recent adjustment to job numbers in the US, which saw nearly 1,000,000 fewer jobs than previously thought over the waning days of the Biden administration and the earliest days of Trump's second time in office. Are these numbers to be trusted, and does this match up closer with how the economy feels rather than how we're told it's performing? The crew also debate Senate Republicans' decision to initiate a nuclear option to approve Trump appointees with a simple majority. Is it necessary to keep government functioning, or will the GOP regret these actions?Chapters:00:00:00 - Intro00:16:47 - BLS00:45:53 - Republican Nuclear Option01:26:39 - Emails02:11:28 - Wrap-up Hosted on Acast.

Virginia is seeing a rise in data centers just as demand for power is at unprecedented levels. Michael Pope reports one way to power them on-site.
Tuesday evening Richmond's channel 6 news viewers heard the headline; “Goochland County residents voice concerns over proposed data center and nuclear reactor development.” While anti-data center protests are growing more common, a proposed nuclear reactor? After looking further in, it appears that the concerns might be based on extrapolations of several things proposed in a ne “Technology Overlay District” for Goochland County's already existing commercial development areas. Nevertheless, we sat down with Jennie Slade from the Goochland Economic Development Authority to find out what is proposed.

Though a nonnuclear state, Australia was embroiled in the military and civilian nuclear energy programs of numerous global powers across the twentieth century. From uranium extraction to nuclear testing, Australia's lands became sites of imperial exploitation under the guise of national development. The continent was subject to rampant nuclear colonialism. However, this history is not just one of imposition. Aboriginal communities, bearing the brunt of these processes, have persistently resisted, reclaiming their rights to Country and demanding reparations.As Dr. Jessica Urwin shows in Contaminated Country: Nuclear Colonialism and Aboriginal Resistance in Australia (U of Washington Press, 2025 & Melbourne University Press, 2026), extraction, weapons testing, and nuclear waste disposal have caused incalculable physical, spiritual, and cultural harm to Aboriginal communities and lands. Yet Indigenous peoples all over the world have not only survived nuclear colonialism but challenged it time and time again. Tracking the colonial mechanisms Australia used to pursue a nuclear industry, Dr. Urwin simultaneously highlights how Aboriginal peoples refused and reshaped those same mechanisms over time. A groundbreaking book, Contaminated Country reveals how Australia's deep nuclear past has been entangled with colonialism locally, nationally, and internationally. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

CBRN Specialist, Happy, joins Nathan and B.R in this episode to touch on the subject that started it all for CBRNart. The lads work through what each letter of CBRN stand for: Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear, the likelihood of each threat, what those threats are made up of, and how they are deployed or become a danger. The guys also get into topics like CBRN search and rescue efforts after a nuclear attack, proper gas mask fitting tests and usage, some theories on Cold War Russian testing of chemical weapons on it's own citizens and what the New Jersey drone phenomena could have been.

Hacer realidad la fusión nuclear una fuente de energía sostenible y masiva. La que alimenta al Sol y las estrellas, representa uno de los retos más complejos y prometedores de nuestro tiempo y es necesario saber en qué punto estamos, qué horizonte tenemos por delante y, sobre todo, si estamos preparados para acompañar a la ciencia de la fusión entendiendo sus principios físicos los obstáculos científicos y tecnológicos que aún deben superarse y las razones por las que este esfuerzo colectivo puede marcar un punto de inflexión en la historia energética y en la mitigación del cambio climático. Nos jugamos mucho, y por eso volvemos a hablar de fusión nuclear con dos expertos de alto nivel: Pablo Rodríguez, investigador del MIT y que junto con CFS están desarrollando un prometedor reactor tipo tokamak compacto con imanes superconductores propios de alta eficiencia. Y subimos a la Nabucodonosor a Carlos Hidalgo, director del Laboratorio Nacional de Fusión del Centro de Investigaciones Energéticas, Medioambientales y Tecnológicas (CIEMAT), y autor del reciente y recomendable Fusión nuclear para la sociedad.

This week's Friday News Roundup has everything: celebrity courtroom drama, Tesla Tunnel weirdness, and an underground bunker house straight out of a sci-fi movie. A legal battle between Blake Lively and Perez Hilton is playing out right here in Vegas — raising big questions about gossip, journalism, and free speech. Co-host Dayvid Figler is joined by artist Brent Holmes and Hey Las Vegas editor Rob Kachelriess to make sense of it all. They also dig into why the Boring Company wants to build apartments (with barely any parking!) over one of its tunnel stations, and the city's infamous Underground House is back on the market, and we've got some very bad ideas about who should buy it.

Interview with Marc Henderson – President, CEO & Director, Laramide ResourcesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/laramide-resources-tsxlam-1m-lbyr-new-mexico-uranium-project-awaits-final-permit-6714Recording date: 4th September, 2025The uranium sector is experiencing a fundamental shift driven by artificial intelligence and data center expansion, creating what industry veterans describe as the most compelling supply-demand dynamic in decades. Laramide Resources, with advanced-stage uranium projects across three continents, stands positioned to capitalize on this transformation.CEO Marc Henderson, speaking from the World Nuclear Association symposium, highlights how technology companies are driving unprecedented electricity demand. "The world's figured out we need a lot more electricity all of a sudden, particularly in the west that hasn't had any real growth in electricity demand in a long time, and nuclear becomes sort of the default obvious solution," Henderson explains. Tech giants prefer to be "backers" rather than operators, seeking partnerships with established uranium companies rather than entering the complex supply chain themselves.While demand surges, supply constraints intensify. Henderson notes that when asking utilities about realistic pricing for new uranium supply development, "no one has a number south of 100" dollars per pound. The industry faces critical shortages with limited new discoveries and production delays across existing operations.Laramide's strategic portfolio spans three jurisdictions. In Australia, the Westmoreland project containing 65 million pounds awaits a single political decision from Queensland's government, which Henderson describes as being "literally one comment away" from approval. The U.S. Churchrock project holds 70 million pounds with federal NRC licensing complete, requiring only one New Mexico state permit for its 3-million-pound annual capacity facility. Kazakhstan offers exploration upside through a large land position targeting 30-50 million pound deposits, with 15,000 meters of drilling planned for the fourth quarter.The convergence of structural supply deficits, tech-driven demand growth, and $100+ uranium pricing creates compelling revaluation potential for quality uranium assets positioned for the nuclear renaissance.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/laramide-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
Interview with Bruce Lane, Executive Director & CEO of American UraniumOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/us-uranium-sector-gains-under-pro-nuclear-push-7164Recording date: 3rd September 2025American Uranium Limited (ASX:AMU), formerly GTI Energy Ltd, has strategically repositioned itself to capitalize on America's uranium supply crisis through its flagship Lo Herma project in Wyoming. The company's recent rebranding reflects a clear focus on developing in-situ recovery (ISR) uranium assets, with CEO Bruce Lane emphasizing the need for clarity in the company's mission amid growing industry momentum.The Lo Herma project serves as the foundation of American Uranium's development strategy, containing 8.57 million pounds of uranium resources with 32% classified as indicated resources. Located within Wyoming's proven uranium-producing geology, the project benefits from established infrastructure and decades of regional operational experience. The company has completed comprehensive technical work including mine unit location, central processing plant evaluation, and metallurgical testing, positioning the asset for potential commercial development.A strategic partnership with Snow Lake Resources through a 9.9% investment provides American Uranium with capital and board representation while maintaining operational independence. The partnership creates natural synergies, as Snow Lake maintains adjacent properties where geology extends into American Uranium's holdings, offering potential for future collaboration and enhanced scale.The company's growth strategy focuses on expanding the Lo Herma resource beyond 10 million pounds through systematic exploration, recognizing that scale drives investment attractiveness. This approach leverages proven geological understanding while addressing commercial realities in capital markets.Market fundamentals strongly support American Uranium's timing, with US domestic production remaining below one million pounds annually while demand surges from AI data centers, electrification initiatives, and nuclear plant restarts. Established ISR producers are still ramping operations after extended shutdowns, creating supply constraints just as electricity demand accelerates.Industry consolidation opportunities present additional value catalysts, as established producers like UR Energy and Encore Energy seek additional resources to fulfill long-term contracts. Such partnerships could validate American Uranium's technical approach while providing operational expertise.The investment thesis centers on strategic positioning within proven geology, clear supply-demand fundamentals, and multiple value catalysts including resource expansion and potential industry consolidation, positioning American Uranium at the forefront of America's uranium supply revival.View American Uranium's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/gti-energySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

As Pennsylvania sees a rapid rise in data centers — the question of how to meet their massive energy and cooling needs continues to rack the brains of legislators. Nuclear power remains their major focus; another answer could be right under their feet. The effort for Democrats to regain a majority in Congress may begin in northeastern Pennsylvania. The Mayor of Scranton is looking to unseat an incumbent Republican; at the same time, she's running to regain her current post. Over the Labor Day weekend, a state lawmaker completed a more than 100 mile walk from Philadelphia to Harrisburg. It was an effort to bring attention to the need for a state budget to be in place, especially funding for mass transit.

Mike Kramer has always liked puzzles. But in 2017 he faced one harder than any sudoku. This one involved the livelihoods of hundreds of American families. As director of business operations and the chief financial officer for Exelon Corporation's eastern region, Mike Kramer was accountable for the financial health of seven nuclear generation facilities across four states. And things were not looking good.The trend lines for nuclear power had been heading down. In much of the country, renewables had reached grid parity and cheap natural gas was edging out nuclear power. He couldn't make the math work at one of the reactors Exelon had operated for nearly 50 years – Three Mile Island Unit One. So in September 2019, it shut down. But last fall, things started turning around. Exelon spin-out Constellation, where Mike is now VP of data economy strategy, is restarting the plant as the Crane Clean Energy Center. And things are looking up at Constellation's nuclear plant in Clinton, Illinois, which it is relicensing to operate for another 20 years.This week on With Great Power, Mike shares his take on the nuclear energy renaissance, what it's been like to go from decommissioning to recommissioning a plant, and what growing demand for emissions-free power means for Constellation's nuclear fleet across the country.With Great Power is a co-production of GridX and Latitude Studios.Subscribe on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere you get podcasts.

This message was delivered and recorded the Sunday after America Bombed Iran's Nuclear site to answer the question, "does the Bible require christians to support Israel", and if som then why? This is one of the most important messages of our time to understand and get into your spirit because this is a fight that started in genesis and will end in Revelations at the return of Jesus and you don't want to fall to any deception that would cause you to be found on the wrong side of it. Know what the Bible says, and stand on it.
Three wise men met and discussed the Seven Sins of The Energy Transition. Laurent, Gerard and Michael dissect seven sectors that have captured attention, investments and public money and are at best dead ends, at worst disasters waiting to happen.Greed — “Subsidy Mining in a Lab Coat” (Carbon Capture & Direct Air Capture)A capital-intensive detour that soaks up public money while delivering trivial abatement at extreme cost, great PR for incumbents, weak climate math. Gluttony — “Three Kilowatt-Hours to Move One” (Hydrogen-for-Energy)An energy-wasting appetite: make H₂ with clean power, then throw most of that power away moving, compressing, liquefying, and reconverting it—useful only in narrow industrial niches. Sloth — “Always ‘On Time' by 2040” (Small Modular Reactors)Perma-prototype promises that stay years late and dollars short while wind, solar, and storage deploy at scale now. Pride — “We Will Bottle the Sun” (Fusion Salvationism)Technological hubris as strategy: a captivating physics quest, but not a climate plan for the 2030s. Invest in science, don't budget on miracles. Lust — “Drop-In Fantasies for Every Engine” (Biofuels-Everywhere)The seductive promise of pouring yesterday's fuels into tomorrow's problems; keep them for hard-to-electrify edges, not as a universal fix. Wrath — “Culture War at Sea” (America's Offshore-Wind Own-Goals)Ideological backlash, litigation, and policy whiplash torch viable projects and local supply chains while the rest of the world builds.Envy — “Green Halo by Checkbox” (ESG Box-Ticking)Chasing ratings and labels instead of real-world decarbonization and cash-flow-relevant risk; better to separate E, S, and G and measure outcomes
In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: First—Iran is back in the spotlight, as Britain, France and Germany announce plans to trigger crippling snapback sanctions on the Islamic regime previously suspended under the nearly defunct 2015 nuclear deal. The news comes as the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog warns that their inspectors are still being barred access to the mullahs' main nuclear enrichment sites. Later in the show—Israeli forces raided a former air-defense base near Damascus on Wednesday in their furthest foray into Syria since the fall of the Assad regime, reportedly dismantling devices used by Turkey to spy on Israel. Plus—Russia unleashes their second largest air assault on Ukraine since the war began, killing at least 21 civilians and damaging offices belonging to the European Union and the UK. In our 'Back of the Brief—President Trump officially hits India with secondary tariffs over their purchases of Russian oil, a move that could gut India's exports and cost the nation tens of billions of dollars.

In this fascinating episode, Bryan welcomes back longtime friend and nuclear industry veteran Bill Nowicki to discuss a recently released document from DHS and NUSTL that provides new recommendations for HVAC operations during nuclear events. Bill brings over 40 years of nuclear experience, starting as a 19-year-old Navy nuclear operator (after being deemed "not ready for the grill" at Friendly's restaurant) and progressing through various roles, including lead engineer on critical control systems at nuclear facilities. Bill shares his journey from nuclear plant evaluator to leadership trainer, now working internationally to help nuclear professionals develop their skills. His current podcast, "The Nuclear Leader," continues this mission alongside his passion project, "Navigating Mental Illness: Parent Stories." Bill provides an accessible explanation of nuclear reactor operations, using the analogy that "contamination is the poop and radiation is the smell" to help listeners understand the difference between radioactive material and radiation itself. He walks through the three-barrier system in nuclear plants: fuel cladding, reactor coolant system, and containment structures. The discussion covers how fission works, the controlled chain reaction process, and what happens when these systems fail, using examples from Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima to illustrate different failure modes. The episode explores the current nuclear renaissance driven by AI data centers and industrial companies seeking clean baseload power. Bill explains how private industry is now directly funding nuclear projects, bypassing traditional utility structures, with companies like Microsoft and ExxonMobil investing billions in new nuclear facilities. This represents a dramatic shift from the post-Three Mile Island era when nuclear construction essentially stopped in the United States. The core discussion focuses on updated emergency guidance that reverses previous recommendations. Instead of the old "shelter in place and shut off your AC" advice, the new guidance suggests keeping HVAC systems running while eliminating outdoor air intake. This approach recognizes that modern, well-sealed buildings with high-efficiency filtration can provide better protection by maintaining positive pressure and filtering recirculated air rather than allowing uncontrolled infiltration. Bill and Bryan discuss how building characteristics dramatically affect the best response strategy. High-performance homes with tight construction, MERV 13+ filters, and controlled ventilation systems offer significant advantages, requiring only the ability to shut off outdoor air intake. Conversely, older, leaky buildings may still benefit from complete system shutdown to prevent contamination circulation. The conversation highlights how lessons learned during COVID-19 about airborne contamination and filtration directly apply to nuclear emergency preparedness, emphasizing the importance of case-by-case analysis rather than one-size-fits-all approaches.
