Tennessee explores a federal nuclear-energy program that could involve handling used nuclear fuel, with potential economic benefits including up to $50 billion in investment and 25,000 jobs. Governor Bill Lee stated the state has not yet identified potential sites due to unclear federal requirements, and Tennessee is one of five states selected to discuss hosting Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses.

Five states, including Tennessee, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Utah, and Idaho, have agreed to accept nuclear waste in exchange for federal support to develop nuclear energy and create jobs. The plan includes building storage sites and Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses, potentially bringing $50 billion in investment and tax revenue, with Tennessee and Idaho highlighted for their nuclear research facilities.

Five states—Tennessee, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Utah, and Idaho—have agreed to accept nuclear waste in exchange for federal support to develop nuclear energy infrastructure, aiming to create jobs and attract billions in investment. The plan includes establishing Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses with storage sites, uranium enrichment, and advanced reactor deployment, potentially reducing risks associated with current storage locations.

Five states (Tennessee, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Utah, and Idaho) have agreed to accept nuclear waste in exchange for federal support to develop nuclear energy, aiming to create jobs and boost economies. The plan involves establishing Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses with potential investments of up to $50 billion and significant tax revenues.

Five states—Tennessee, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Utah, and Idaho—have agreed to accept nuclear waste in exchange for federal support to develop nuclear energy, aiming to create jobs and boost economic growth. The plan involves establishing Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses with waste storage, uranium enrichment, and advanced reactor projects, potentially attracting $50 billion in private investment. The initiative aligns with efforts to expand nuclear energy production amid rising electricity demand.

Anthony Caccese developed an open-source Raspberry Pi project called 240-MP that replicates an old-school VCR interface for playing media files and Plex libraries on CRT TVs or modern screens. The project uses MPV as a command-line media player and supports local storage and network shares, with future plans to add Jellyfin and RetroArch compatibility.

U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner met with nuclear experts at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee to consult on nuclear negotiations with Iran. The meeting aimed to address provisions ensuring Iran does not develop a nuclear weapon, aligning with Trump's stance on any potential deal.

President Trump's envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with nuclear experts at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, to prepare for potential nuclear negotiations with Iran. The U.S. and Iran are nearing a memorandum of understanding to end the war and address Iran's enriched uranium stockpile, though disagreements remain over timelines and financial terms.

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a portable detector kit capable of distinguishing real GPS signals from fake ones, even when spoofing signals are equally strong. This innovation addresses growing concerns about GPS spoofing and jamming, which disrupt satellite navigation systems.

A study published in the British Journal of Cancer highlights disparities in cancer mortality decline across U.S. regions and income levels, with urban, coastal, and higher-income counties showing greater improvements. Rural and lower-income areas experienced smaller declines, emphasizing factors like tobacco control and access to healthcare as contributing factors.
