nuclear power

For 50 years, a secretive group of government workers has been preparing for the worst. Here's a rare look inside the team that's ready to respond to a nuclear incident anywhere, anytime.

Russia has occupied the massive Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which sits roughly 50 miles from the front lines. Ukraine's other reactors are also operating in a volatile war zone.

Prime Minister Fumio Kishida made the announcement after meeting with his cabinet. Water will be released through an underground tunnel beginning Thursday, weather conditions permitting, Kishida said.

The International Atomic Energy Agency has approved a plan by Japan's government to dump nuclear waste water from the destroyed Fukushima power plant into the Pacific Ocean.

The 400,000 gallon leak of water containing tritium occurred in November 2022, but the general public was not notified until last week. Officials said the leak is contained and poses no public danger.

Just before he invaded Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed with other leaders that "a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought." So why is he eroding a key treaty?

Satellite data show water levels plummeting at the Kakhovka Reservoir. The reservoir supplies drinking water, irrigates vast tracts of farmland, and cools Europe's largest nuclear plant.

The Biden administration's goal of carbon-free electricity generation by 2035 will require an overhaul of the U.S. energy sector. Experts across the industry shared their views of how it might work.

The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine went offline over the weekend after Russian shelling damaged the last remaining outside power source.

Seven Russian rockets slammed into residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia early Thursday, killing two people in the city close to Europe's biggest nuclear power plant, the governor of the region said.
