Yesterday, February 26, 2008, I had the opportunity to take a couple of hours off of my day job to attend an event sponsored by the Progressive Policy Institute titled PPI Debate: Is Atomic Energy A Cure for Climate Change?. PPI had invited four speakers, each of whom have significant credentials as Environmentalists. The slate…

I just came across a story from New Zealand titled Health fears around polar nuke leak that attempted to implicate the Naval Facilities Engineering Command’s PM-3A, a small nuclear plant that supplied heat and electricity…
As a “served engineer” on a nuclear powered submarine, I learned a long time ago that things go wrong, even with the very best technology. The recognition of inevitable “problems” should not deter technical development and should not make people afraid to develop new products and services, but it should add a healthy dose of…

As much as this accident has raised old questions, it is bloggers like you that are making the difference this time in presenting the story untainted by the need to sensationalize, or hidden agenda. Furthermore, you are creating rallying points for those of us that support nuclear energy, but often feel that we are isolated.
Thank-you
Similar happened to the Oil Drum last summer. Enjoy it and appreciate both how hungry people are for authoritative sources, as well as the respect the crowd confers on you.

Thank you. Got the tip about this website from Cameron Reiley and this No Illusions Podcast. Its aways good to see another smart discusion on nuclear power.
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/
