— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 BREAKING: The White House is 'seriously considering' indirect nuclear talks with Iran – Axios

U.S. officials have said that Trump 'does not want to go to war with Iran' but needs military assets in the region to 'establish deterrence' in negotiations.

The White House is split between those who think a deal is possible and those who back strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities.

🇦🇷 Argentina's Nuclearis Teams Up with DeepGeo for Waste Management Breakthrough

In a landmark move, Argentina-based nuclear technology start-up Nuclearis has joined forces with U.S. repository developer DeepGeo to tackle the growing challenge of nuclear waste disposal. This partnership focuses on creating sustainable solutions for advanced reactor technologies, particularly small modular reactors (SMRs). The collaboration aims to address technical, legal, and financial hurdles in managing nuclear waste through multinational repositories (MNRs), ensuring secure and cost-effective disposal for countries with limited resources or unsuitable geology.

Nuclearis’ innovative N1 microreactor, designed for underground installation and long-term operation without refueling, aligns perfectly with this initiative. At the end of its lifecycle, the reactor transitions into a decay pool, eliminating the need for external fuel handling. This approach minimizes risks associated with spent fuel transportation and storage, setting a new standard for responsible nuclear energy deployment.

The importance of this partnership extends beyond technical innovation. It highlights the necessity of international cooperation in addressing nuclear waste challenges without succumbing to the pitfalls of globalism or the agendas of transnational corporations. By focusing on practical, regionally adaptable solutions, Nuclearis and DeepGeo demonstrate how national innovation can drive global progress in the nuclear energy sector. This collaboration not only supports the energy transition but also challenges the often unrealistic narratives surrounding green energy policies, offering a realistic and sustainable alternative for emerging markets like Africa.
