Site NewsNEW Our long-range outage projections just got sharperNukeWorker's Outage Schedule gives you two things: validated dates for the coming season, and our own long-range projections for the seasons beyond, 18 to 24 months out, before the utilities publish their dates.Today we upgraded the engine behind those long-range projections. Measured against the dates utilities have since confirmed, the new engine is 28% better at predicting long-range (18 to 24 month) start dates.See how we score ourselves on the Accuracy Scorecard.

History & TriviaThe Hiroshima Atomic Blast Forged a Metal Never Seen Before on EarthGeologists led by the University of Florence have identified a previously unknown iron-chromium alloy within microscopic fallout debris from the 1945 Hiroshima atomic bombing. The 10-micrometer grain exhibits a complex, highly ordered cubic crystal structure that formed due to the extreme temperatures and rapid cooling rates of the nuclear fireball. This discovery highlights that nuclear blast debris contains a unique library of metastable materials that are difficult to replicate in laboratory settings. For the nuclear industry, these findings demonstrate that fallout particles serve as a phy...
