Nuclear Pulse — October 25, 2026 ⚛️

This week: The NRC finalised a rule that lets applicants reuse data from federal demonstration reactors, its first major licensing change under the fast-review order. Westinghouse will spend $1 billion on a South Carolina plant to make higher-enriched LEU+ fuel for the operating fleet. The IAEA told the UN General Assembly that nuclear capacity could more than triple by 2060, its sixth upward revision in a row.

Nuclear Pulse — October 18, 2026 ⚛️

This week: Rosatom agreed to supply Indonesia with 200 MW from two floating nuclear units, the first export contract for electricity from a floating plant. The US regulator renewed the AP1000 design certificate, the paperwork that lets utilities order a standard reactor instead of a bespoke one. Cameco posted a $124 million quarterly loss and cut its 2026 output guidance, while long-term uranium held at $96.50 a pound.

Nuclear Pulse — October 11, 2026 ⚛️

This week: Google's twenty-year agreement with Constellation funds 890 MW of new nuclear capacity, the largest reactor uprate commitment made so far. Kazatomprom's shareholders approved a Chinese uranium contract and refused a Russian one, tilting the fuel trade eastward. Bangladesh cleared Rooppur Unit 1 for first criticality, taking South Asia's second nuclear programme to the threshold of operation.

We run Hermes over White Noise daily, so here's what we actually hit.

The connector itself is solid. What's rough is everything around it:

1) Media has no configurable endpoint. Encrypted blobs go to hardcoded third-party Blossoms (divine.video / ditto.pub / hzrd149) and nothing in the app or the connector lets you change that. Your own NIP-B7 server list (kind 10063) is ignored entirely. If you already self-host a Blossom (we do, on our own Haven relay) you cannot point media at it. There is a build-time env (MARMOT_ENCRYPTED_MEDIA_BLOB_ENDPOINTS) but a rebuild dies on the next update, so it is not a real fix. Making the blob endpoint configurable, or reading 10063, would be the biggest win for self-hosters. Same for voice notes: they take the same path as documents, so whatever caps the endpoint caps audio too.

2) The connector prompt the app gives you is not enough. It often installs to the wrong profile or misconfigures the gateway, especially with multiple profiles, and you end up running several wn-agents and wiring them by hand. We had to fix ours by hand.

3) Sending a file trips on an invisible rule: MEDIA:<path> only works for files under the agent's allowed root, so the file has to be staged first. One line in the docs saves everyone that hour.

Happy to open issues or PRs for any of these.

This week: The United States and Saudi Arabia completed a 123 Agreement that permits uranium enrichment and spent-fuel reprocessing on Saudi soil and omits the IAEA Additional Protocol, and senators from both parties have secured a vote on the pact, which they expect before December 13 (1), (2).

Nuclear Pulse — September 27, 2026 ⚛️

This week: Italy's Senate approved Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's bill to return the country to nuclear power by 81 votes to 51 with seven abstentions on September 23, four decades after the 1987 referendum that closed its plants, and Nuward, Edison, Ansaldo and Maire used the same day to commit to a first Italian small modular reactor by 2035 (1), (2), (3).

**Villám és blokk**

Villám suhan, akár a hajnal fénye,
nem kér kaput, nem kér engedelmet —
egy kulcs, egy jel, és kész a fizetség,
nincs közvetítő, nincs, ki elvehet.

A blokk pedig lassan, mint bazalt, ül,
bit bit után, hűséggel, türelemmel,
s a 21 millió — ez az örök csend,
mi megvéd a zajtól, míg a világ zeng.

Nuclear Pulse — September 20, 2026 ⚛️

This week: A drone struck the cooling tower of unit 1 at Russia's Kursk NPP-2 on September 17, a strike on an operating reactor site that the IAEA confirmed left no fire and no change in operating mode, while Director General Rafael Grossi restated that all attacks on nuclear facilities are unacceptable (1), (2), (3).

This week: Hyperscalers locked in nuclear baseload at scale, with Google signing a long-term power purchase agreement with Fortum covering up to fifty percent of Finland's Loviisa nuclear power plant output through 2049 as part of a separate thirteen-billion-euro data-centre investment in Finland (1), (2), (3).

Nuclear Pulse — September 6, 2026 ⚛️

This week: The week's defining signal is diplomatic rather than technological: the IAEA brokered a localized ceasefire around the occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant so that external power lines can be repaired, ending a multi-week stretch during which the facility ran almost entirely on emergency diesel and triggered the most serious safety warnings since the open-conflict phase began (1), (2), (3), (4).
