Global investments in nuclear are now an order of magnitude less than those put into renewable technologies, and at least eight countries derive more energy from renewable sources [&#8230;]</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Nuclear power, essentially steam turbines driven by the fission of Uranium [isotope U-235], is powerful, doesn&#8217;t emit carbon-dioxide, and is reliable. On the other hand, nuclear disasters, such as Chernobyl in 1989, and Fukushima in 2011, point out the possibly deadly consequences of its use. In spite of the danger and rarity of Uranium, U-235 [&#8230;]</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Maybe the folks at Fukushima should hear about this, or more precisely those handling the recovery process, which is far from over: as the latest discovery in the field, the Notre Dame Thorium Borate-1 (NDTB-1) is apparently just what you need to clean up a radioactive mess. Although the current trend is all for clean [&#8230;]</p>

Well, it looks like the democratic process worked after all in Switzerland, where crowds peacefully demonstrating near one of the oldest nuclear power plant in Beznau succeeded convincing the authorities to give up nuclear for good until 2034.</p>

Disasters such as the well-known from the Fukushima Daiichi power plant in Japan raise questions about how safe nuclear power really is and how current and future plants will be able to cope with climate change.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Just like hound dogs sniffing around for burglars, Closterium moniliferum, an green alga that usually lives in ponds, could sniff and eliminate radioactive strontium 90 (Sr-90) from water and from existing nuclear waste. 80 million gallons of radioactive nuclear waste are already stored in the United States. The discovery has been made by Northwestern University and Argonne National Laboratory researchers.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has big plans for the nation's electric production. In spite of Italy's incredible solar-energy potential, the growing electrical needs as a follow-up to the developing infrastructure in water supply and treatment, as well as transport upgrading, are taking up most of the resources.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>According to China Central Television, Chinese scientists have made a discovery in nuclear fuel reprocessing technology stating that the uranium supplies might end soon. China's proven uranium sources will last for only half a century or so, but the technology produced by China National Nuclear Corp gives the country the opportunity to re-use the irradiated nuclear fuel.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>New types of nuclear fission reactors could consume their uranium much more efficiently, says a study from the MIT, called "The Future of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle". Charles Forsberg, one of the study's co-authors, says that their work tries to make it easier for the United States to enhance their nuclear power usage by three times, and produce more than 1 GW of electricity.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Nuclear power has been discarded for decades since the tragic accidents from the 80's that led to numerous environmental damages in Ukraine and other parts of the world. Still, nowadays there is a trend of reviving nuclear power, to make it 100% safe and to convince people it's worth investing in it, as an alternative to coal or petrol.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>An attempt to recreate nuclear fusion, that takes place naturally inside stars' core, will be experimented at the National Ignition Facility (NIF), in California, that was inaugurated on Friday. The NIF is a 10-storey building with a surface as large as three football fields. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who cut the ribbon of the $3.5bn facility said it could "revolutionise our energy future".</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Although they provide us with clean electricity, nuclear plants are often criticized, among others,  for their residues after the primary radioactive material is spent. Normally, they are buried in depleted uranium mines, and thus their impact is minimized, but there are lots of situations when things could get dangerous as the radioactive material could infiltrate deep inside the earth, and pollute the underground springs.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Two MIT scientists, physicist Yijun Lin and principal research scientist John Rice, using the university's Alcator C-Mod fusion reactor, proved that electromagnetic waves produced with the help of a Tokamak (pictured above) could be used to keep that plasma hot and make nuclear fusion possible.</p>
