The UK "National Security Strategy 2025: Security for the British People in a Dangerous World" belongs in the Horror section of your local bookstore.

Arming up. Cold War revived. Hostile, xenophobic rhetoric stoking fear and hatred. Colossal misuse of taxpayer money.
Definitely not bedtime reading if you want to sleep at night.

And what happened to abiding by the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty? The nuclear weapons nations have no intention of disarming, despite the terms of the NPT, which the UK, US, France, China and Russia have all signed.

"Rosatom is a company that is literally at war," writes Charles Digges, an environmental journalist who edits the website of the Norway-based NGO Bellona. Rosatom has expanded "into industries beyond the nuclear — including further enmeshing itself in Moscow’s war as an active military participant," he says. In addition, Rosatom "is helping Russian arms makers sidestep bans on Western-produced components for weapons used on the Ukrainian front. It has also developed technology for the Oreshnik line of ballistic missiles, producing a warhead tip so durable that the company brags it can withstand temperatures as hot as the surface of the Sun.

"The corporation also seems to be smoothing the way for various weapons tests, including nuclear tests, on Novaya Zemlya, an Arctic archipelago used by the Soviets as an atomic bomb testing range. Most recently, it has been the site of trials for the Burevestnik nuclear-powered cruise missile developed by Rosatom technicians."

More than an energy company, Rosatom is making weapons for war

We took a deeper dive into the morass (and mess) of the White House Executive Orders on nuclear power. Setting a truly dangerous agenda that, if executed, won't Make America Safe Again and won't actually fulfill - but will in fact gum up the works of -- their stated reactor licensing acceleration goals. All aspirational and unhinged but nevertheless deeply troubling and a genuine challenge for all of us.
