REPORT: Spent Fuel Fire on U.S. Soil Could Dwarf Impact of Fukushima…
A fire from spent fuel stored at a U.S. nuclear power plant could have catastrophic consequences, according to new simulations of such an event. A major fire “could dwarf the horrific consequences of the Fukushima accident,” says Edwin Lyman, a physicist at the Union of Concerned Scientists, a nonprofit in Washington, D.C. “We’re talking about […]
STUDY: Most Scientists ‘Can’t Replicate Studies by Their Peers’…
This is frustrating clinicians and drug developers who want solid foundations of pre-clinical research to build upon. From his lab at the University of Virginia’s Centre for Open Science, immunologist Dr Tim Errington runs The Reproducibility Project, which attempted to repeat the findings reported in five landmark cancer studies. “The idea here is to take […]
Climategate Redux! NOAA Scientists Fudge, Lose Data by H. Sterling Burnett…
