UK Nears Nuclear Renaissance with New Projects

The recent unveiling of China's AI program DeepSeek has raised alarm among U.S. tech investors, prompting calls for a new Manhattan Project to ensure U.S. competitiveness in technology and energy. DeepSeek, developed by a Chinese hedge fund, offers advanced capabilities at lower costs, contrasting sharply with U.S. efforts. Concurrently, concerns are growing about the resurgence of nuclear testing as countries like China and Russia expand their arsenals, with the U.S. also modernizing its nuclear capabilities. Amid this backdrop, organizations like Soka Gakkai International continue to advocate for nuclear disarmament, emphasizing education and global engagement. In the UK, there is momentum toward a nuclear renaissance, driven by the need for clean energy and economic growth, as the government considers new nuclear projects. This combination of technological competition, nuclear policy, and advocacy for peace highlights the complex landscape of global security and energy needs.
