Atomic Show 36 – Interview with Dr. Rodney Ewing, University of Michigan

ByRod Adams

On November 2, 2006, I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Rodney Ewing, a professor in the Nuclear Engineering and Geological Sciences Departments at the University of Michigan.

We had a wide ranging conversation starting with his research involving materials for packaging used nuclear materials. The impetus of my invitation to Dr. Ewing was the attention paid to his recent talk at the Geological Society of America on the subject of Greenhouse Gases versus Plutonium

Please go and have a listen to the show. Any comments would be most appreciated.
