NASA Wants Nuclear Reactor On Moon By 2030. Here's Why That Matters
Nuclear power in space isn't a new idea. Since the 1960s, the US and the Soviet Union have relied on radioisotope generators that use small amounts of radioactive elements to power satellites.

Overflowing tank cause of new leak at Fukushima
Another day, another radioactive-water spill. The operator of the meltdown-plagued Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant says at least 430 liters (110 gallons) spilled when workers overfilled a storage tank without a gauge that could have warned them of the danger.

Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant leaked 300 tonnes of radioactive water
The operator of Japan's tsunami-crippled nuclear power plant said today that about 300 tons (300,000 liters, 80,000 gallons) of highly radioactive water have leaked from one of the hundreds of storage tanks there - its worst leak yet from such a vessel.

10 exposed to radiation at Japanese nuclear plant
Ten workers at Japan's crippled nuclear plant were exposed Monday to small amounts of radiation while conducting cleanup activities, the plant's operator said.

Japan nuke crisis crew not told of danger: Worker
The operator of a Japanese nuclear plant that went into a tsunami-triggered meltdown knew the risks from highly radioactive water at the site but sent in crews without adequate protection or warnings, a worker said in a legal complaint.
