There is one pool type #nuclear research reactor in Greece. Its construction started in 1959 and its operation in 1961. It is located at the National Centre for Scientific Research (#Demokritos) in Athens and it generated 5 MW of power.
It was shut down in 2004. Initially for an upgrade to 10 MW power, but it was not followed up and the reactor is currently under decommissioning.

Why on Earth would NASA build a nuclear reactor on the Moon?
“Duffy to announce nuclear reactor on the moon” is not a headline I imagined reading before last week.…

The US is racing to establish a lunar base, with plans to deploy a nuclear reactor and create restricted zones on the Moon. #MoonRace #NASA #LunarBase #SpaceRace #NuclearReactor 
It is not clear what the #NuclearReactor will power. A reactor would be useful for long-term stays on the #moon, but #NASA’s plans do not specify when a base might be built https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/science/nasa-moon-nuclear-reactor.html

We live in a world where the country with over 200 nuclear weapons, who refuses to sign the #NPT, does not allow #IAEA to inspect it's nuclear facilities and been involved in nuclear proliferation multiple times in the past is allowed to bomb a research nuclear reactor under IAEA inspection risking spread of radiation without any strong reaction from the "world" leaders.

Israeli evacuation threat targets area around Iran’s Arak heavy-water nuclear reactor
As part of negotiations around the 2015 deal, Iran agreed to sell off its heavy water to Western countries. Even the US purchased some 32 tonnes of heavy water for more than $8m in one deal.
IAEA inspectors reportedly last visited Arak on May 14.
I think I must be missing something, with all the news I've heard, and read, about Israel/US, dropping bombs, and firing missiles, at a nuclear plant, I've not heard anyone mention anything about nuclear fallout.
Surly bombs, missiles, or anything explosive, does not bode well, at a nuclear power station/reactor/plant?

End of #nuclear in #Taiwan fans energy security fear
Taiwan will turn off last #nuclearreactor, fuelling concerns over island reliance on imported energy and vulnerability to blockade by #China. Nuclear power once provided jalf of Taiwan's energy, with three plants operating six reactors across an island that's 394 km (245 mi) long and 144 km (89 mi) wide. Island depends almost entirely on imported #fossilfuels to power homes, factories & critical #semiconductor industry.

By all means, keep the policy that people hate. Even the people who like the idea of nuclear reactors hate the idea of them being built in their neighbourhood or their spent fuel being stored nearby.

A hole in protective shell over the Chernobyl reactor poses risks.
For weeks, the Ukrainian authorities have been looking for ways to repair a large hole in the protective shell that covers the fourth reactor of the decommissioned Chernobyl nuclear plant. When it was erected in 2019, the giant shell was one of the biggest structures ever moved by humans.
On 14 February, a Russian drone hit the structure.

"The goal of [#StartupNation] cities would be to have places where anti-aging #ClinicalTrials, #NuclearReactor startups, and building construction can proceed without having to get prior #approval from agencies like the Food and Drug Administration #FDA, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the Environmental Protection Agency #EPA."
