A seller at Russian market place offers Shah’s Iran lapel pin. Suggests using it for “diplomatic events and cultural exhibitions”. Wanna buy?: ozon.ru/product/brosh-s-flag…
These pictures show dimensions, ergonomics, and the number of cylinders that can hold HEU UF6 sufficient for one nuclear bomb. Read the details and implications for the Iranian HEU challenge in my Substack - vaee.substack.com/p/why-do-w…
Rosatom's e-library shares a very timely book from 2018 - Kurchatov Institute for Air and Space Fleet of the Nation. The book briefly covers the concept of nuclear energy use for air and space propulsion, and a variety of technical chapters in historical perspective. 1/X
The Government ordered suspension of key Energoatom managers and maintains communications with G7 (which is key for support). Prompt response gives some hope.

Russia’s Minister of Defence Belousov suggested starting preparations for full scale nuclear testing immediately t.me/navideovidno/93931
As long as we are on plutonium now, does this mean the U.S. now considers using WG-Pu in the civilian fuel cycle? "DOE is establishing a program for making surplus plutonium materials available to industry for
advanced nuclear technologies." fedconnect.net/FedConnect/de…
I still believe that the no-military-use commitment for PMDA Pu has now been lifted (without any need for this). See my detailed comments in Pavel's substack.
Honored to be a tiny part of this long story! Don't look for my name in the article though:)
