LLAW’s NUCLEAR ISSUES & COMMENTS, Friday, (07/19/2024)
Good news! Well, maybe not literally, but every Friday I will be adding the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) weekly news beginning this evening. The Post will follow the previous six categories every Friday as Category 7 once a week at the tail end of the Friday blog. The IAEA provides a knowledgeable current summary of all serious situations of events that affect the nuclear world of energy and war. ~llaw
