It's great to see a member of Congress focus on what's most important for the future of humanity. It'd be better to see more congressmen and -women take an interest in learning to avert global catastrophe. They can start here: thebulletin.org/#navbar-brand

Thank you Rep. Ro Khanna for your leadership: 'We are inching dangerously closer to a nuclear catastrophe & must do everything we can to reduce the risk of nuclear war. It’s time to stop this arms race, re-enter arms control agreements & ensure diplomacy & statesmanship prevails.'

More military madness: In the Arctic, American commandos game out a great-power war: 'The sobering takeaway, it was instantly clear, is that any conflict in the High North would be an unmitigated nightmare for those sent to fight it.' Alex Horton tinyurl.com/wcdh42az

By the way, the conflicts waged by the US this century have cost $8 trillion and counting. Does anyone in their right mind think this spending was worth it?

NPR speaks with Ukrainian soldiers' families, who say they're most upset about “long deployments with no end.” Some Ukrainian soldiers have been on the front line since the invasion began, with some fighting while injured.The new law doesn't address long deployments.

Russia & Ukraine must establish a no-strike perimeter around nuclear plant at Zaporozhia,which is already at elevated risk for an accident due to insufficient access to offsite power, equipment failures,lack of regular maintenance & extreme duress on an insufficient workforce

But this includes late containment failures due to slow overpressure. More worrisome are 'early' containment failure modes that occur before emergency response can be carried out. A drone attack that damages containment makes such early failures more likely.

I circulated this info before on core damage and large release frequencies estimated for Zaporizhzhia: iaea.org/sites/default/…: data implying that the likelihoods of eventual containment failure given a meltdown are 69% and 95% for cold and hot shutdown reactors, respectively.

This could not have happened withouth the incredible work of our partners so shoutout to Rete Italiana Pace e Disarmo 🇮🇹 , Pathways To Peace🇦🇱 and ICAN France🇫🇷!

Congratulations for this major win!🙌📢
