🇧🇪 Three drones spotted over Doel nuclear power plant in Belgium, - DW
The incident occurred over the nuclear power plant. The situation did not affect the operation of the power plant in any way, and the authorities are informed about what happened.
When Trump posted about nuclear testing, I jumped on a call with @haleemasaadia.bsky.social to discuss what it would mean for South Asia if the US broke the moratorium on testing. The conversation led to this: www.apln.network/analysis/com...
Thank you @apln.network!

Heute vor 68 Jahren: Am 29. September 1957 ereignete sich der #Kyschtym Unfall in der #Kernanlage #Majak. Als INES-6 eingestuft, ist er der drittschwerste Atomunfall der Geschichte – nach Tschernobyl (1986) und Fukushima (2011). Große Mengen #Radioaktivität wurden freigesetzt.
Heute vor 67 Jahren: Am 29. September 1958 führte die USA mit "Mora" den 8. Atomtest der Operation Hardtack II, eine Serie von 37 #Atomtests auf der #Nevada Test Site, NTS, durch. Von Ballontests bis zu unterirdischen Explosionen wurden verschiedene Methoden erprobt.

☢️ The power supply at Zaporizhzhia NPP has not been restored since the plant was shut down on September 23, raising safety concerns, — The Guardian
Emergency diesel generators are currently used to power the systems. 7/18 generators that provide cooling for the nuclear fuel are currently operating.
For the second day, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is in blackout mode, forced to rely on diesel generators after losing external power. Energoatom says Russia is deliberately keeping it disconnected, despite the power line on the Ukrainian side being fully operational.
FT: US-German firm Auterion is sending 33,000 AI “strike kits” to Ukraine this year, upgradeable with its Nemyx software that lets drones operate as a single coordinated force.
⚡️ IAEA reports shelling, black smoke near Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.
Russian drones hitting Poland aren’t a mistake. They’re a test, and NATO failed it. Expect more.
