NEW YORK — As of 3:01 p.m. ET on Friday, Dec. 26, 2025, NIKE, Inc. (NYSE: NKE) shares are trading around $60.52, up about 0.9% on the day. Nike’s move is unfolding in a light, post-Christmas trading session with the major U.S. indexes hovering near record territory and showing limited conviction either way—typical of late-December tape, when liquidity can thin and single-stock catalysts matter more.

Chernobyl Radiation Shield Damaged: IAEA Says New Safe Confinement Lost Key Safety Function After Drone Strike — Repairs Could Take Years

A decade-long international effort to “cap” the world’s most infamous nuclear disaster site is now facing a daunting reality: the massive steel arch built to contain the remains of Chernobyl’s destroyed Reactor 4 can no longer fully do the job it was designed for. In early December 2025, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said the New Safe Confinement (NSC) — the giant protective shelter over the reactor — has lost its primary safety functions, including its confinement capability, after sustaining damage from a drone strike earlier this year. While the IAEA says there has been no permanent damage to
