#Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps #IRGC threatened to retaliate in the wake of the #US attack on Iranian #nuclear sites. In a statement carried by the Iranian state news agency IRNA, the military body said the vast number of US bases in the region were not a point of strength, but rather a vulnerability. The Guards Corps added that #Iran retained the right to respond in self-defense & said the US would “await regrettable consequences.”
Integrating critical infrastructure systems more and more tightly by making them all digital and dependent on digital infrastructure increases the risk of catastrophic failure cascades. The risk profile has a phase transition with respect to increasing interconnectivity that, once crossed, makes such failure cascades comparatively highly likely.
The effect is not unlike nuclear fission reactions, which require a certain density of fissile material before they'll be self-sustaining. An event that'd just sputter out at one density might become an out-of-control explosion at a slightly higher density. Likewise, what might be a small and isolated component fault at one level of connectivity could be a catastrophic cascading critical infrastructure failure at a slightly higher level of connectivity.
The possibility of cascading failures in the nuclear power system seems like something we should be putting considerable resources into avoiding, rather than actively courting.

On political compass, where X scale is more or less traditional left vs. right, egalitarian - hierarchical, but the Y scale is instead of "authoritarian" marked as nuclear energy needed = yes, nuclear energy not needed = no, you are at:
Options: (choose one)
To dramatically increase the amount of energy available to power artificial intelligence, the Trump administration is rewriting thousands of pages of nuclear power regulations while downplaying safety issues and focusing on industry incentives.

Hurrah, you can now print your balcony nuclear power station.
Just add a neutron source as beam or Uranium 235 or Plutonium 239 and you can breed your own weapons-grade U-233. Just to power your datacenter!
Without that neutron source its safe!
