From April 14-16, I spent time with some amazing people getting reenergized about nuclear energy technologies. The occasion was the American Nuclear Society (ANS) 2011 Student Conference, held in Atlanta, GA, right in the heart of the continuing nuclear energy revival movement in the United States.

Shane Brown and I had a great chat with Kirk Sorensen of Energy from Thorium fame. We talked about a number of different aspects of the technology including materials, fluoride salt chemistry, corrosion, breeding ratios, waste handling, and protactinium decay chains. We all agreed that we would be the life of any cocktail party with…

Thanks.
Rod, have you seen this really terrific graphic to give some perspective to relative radiation dosing from fukushima and other sources? I thought it was great, but have not yet had a chance to follow through to the sources links. http://xkcd.com/radiation/
