A curated collection of open-source software tools for nuclear science and engineering, including Monte Carlo transport codes, reactor simulators, nuclear data processing utilities, and multiphysics frameworks used for neutron/photon transport, fuel cycle analysis, and reactor design.
Albert Einstein warns President Roosevelt that uranium nuclear chain reactions could produce vast energy and powerful bombs, and recommends the U.S. government maintain contact with physicists working on this research and secure uranium supplies, noting Germany has already halted uranium exports from Czechoslovakia.
Republican Rep. Thomas Massie introduced articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the Iran war, alleging illegal initiation of the conflict, defiance of Congress, and civilian casualties.
