Unexplained drone swarms threaten nuclear security

Public records show 67 reports of drones flying over or near 28 U.S. nuclear sites from Feb 2024–Mar 2026, many incidents occurring at night and concentrated in a short window, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has closed each entry as 'Closed Unresolved.' This pattern calls into question existing assumptions about commercial‑drone risk and reveals a gap between plant operators' observations and federal countermeasures or attributions. — If unexplained drone swarms are recurrent and unresolved around nuclear facilities, it forces debate over whether current regulation, detection, and defensive technologies are adequate and who (federal agencies, utilities, or private contractors) should bear responsibility and authority.
