This is the class blog for The Unstable Nucleus. See the Canvas page for instructions about how to log in and post. Some of the topics we will be following this semester include:
- North Korea! What exactly is going on with their nuclear program, and what exactly is the Trump administration doing about it? See, for initial discussion, this Vox article on whether a nuclear deal might happen.

2. The Iran deal: What’s happening now that Trump has pulled the US out of the Iran nuclear deal? See, for initial discussion, this Times of Isreal article.
3. The Fukushima crisis of 2011 is far from over. Just this week, the Japanese government acknowledged the first cancer death due to radiation exposure during cleanup. See this NPR article as a starting point on this topic.
Anything else you run across that relates to radiation, radioactivity, nuclear technology, or related topics is likely to be good material for posting. Post often! It makes the class more interesting!
