  1. great show Rod… I was reading this today:

    http://technology.newscientist.com/channel/tech/mg19826514.200-nuclear-superfuel-gets-too-hot-to-handle.html

    would love to ear your thoughts on this… maybe a show with the host of this week in nuclear would be nice. Read the comments on this page they are quite good.

    quotes:

    They say that fuels with a burn-up above 45 GWd/tU cause previously unforeseen safety problems, and would break existing NRC safety rules unless changes are made to the way fuel elements are packaged.

    The danger would come if there were a sudden loss of cooling water – as in the accident that led to the partial meltdown of a reactor core at Three Mile Island,
