"We're actually beyond the precipice at this point," Yon...

What a difference a decade makes. There was a time when the United States would talk to Russia with at least the pretense of respect. Remember this exchange between then Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Barack Obama?That was then. Mr. Medvedev is singing quite a different tune now. He made this public statement yesterday:It is useless and unnecessary to appeal to the prudence of our enemies in the West, the enemies must be forced to ask for mercy in the lost economic battle and end it with their complete and unconditional surrenderI do not believe that Dimitry Medvedev was drunk...

The Nuclear Safety Commission of Japan released a preliminary calculation Monday saying that the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant had been releasing up to 10,000 terabecquerels of radioactive materials per hour at some point after a massive quake and tsunami hit northeastern Japan on March 11.The disclosure prompted the government to consider raising the accident's severity level to 7, the worst on an international scale, from the current 5, government sources said. The level 7 on the International Nuclear Event Scale has only been applied to the 1986 Chernobyl catastrophe. The current provisional evaluation of 5 is at the...

Conservative maverick Ann Coulter has poured scorn on growing fears over the fallout from Japan’s nuclear crisis by claiming that ‘radiation is good for you.’ With her bizarre outburst, Coulter became the latest celebrity to cause a stir over controversial remarks on the disaster in Japan.

There is a growing body of evidence that radiation in excess of what the government says are the minimum...

Or will Fukushima stop short of being the worst nuclear power disaster ever, and squeeze somewhere behind Chernobyl and alongside Three Mile Island in infamy? While there can be no definitive answers amid a still-unfolding disaster, ProPublica spoke with seven top nuclear...

WASHINGTON/VIENNA (Reuters) - President Bush on Thursday edged toward backing Europe's offer of incentives to Iran to abandon nuclear weapons, but diplomats said Tehran was building a research reactor that could eventually produce enough plutonium for one bomb a year.

The current U.S. approach to the North Korea problem is demonstrably flawed; arguably, even dangerously flawed. Just what is wrong? After nearly four years in office, the curious fact remains that the Bush administration plainly lacks...

The talks involve both Koreas, the United States, China, Japan and Russia, and have the objective of resolving the North Korean nuclear crisis. : "North Korea dealt with the Clinton administration by using its notorious tactic of brinksmanship," said one observer. "Since Bush had great antipathy for that tactic, and sometimes responded to it with extremely strong measures, Pyongyang now appears to refrain from using it." Because of that, experts from...
