Alan Waltar on "Atoms for Peace Reactor"

ByRod Adams

Back in November, 2005, when I attended the American Nuclear Society (ANS) Winter Meeting, I listened to Alan Waltar talk about his current project called the “Atoms for Peace Reactor”. Alan is a Past President of the ANS, the author of “Radiation and Modern Life: Fulfilling Marie Curie’s Dream” and “America the Powerless: Facing our Nuclear Energy Dilemma and a passionate, entertaining speaker about nuclear energy issues.

I think you will enjoy his talk, available as a 22.5 MB MP3 at:

For those of you who wonder why I am telling you this on December 24, more than six weeks after the event, my only excuse is that sometimes I have a hard time getting “a round tuit”. I just got around to posting the file and adding it to the Atomic Insights Audio Archive. Merry Christmas.
