Atomic Energy in Finland

ByRod Adams

My Google Alert on new nuclear power plants pointed me to a very useful article by Jack Spencer titled What Finland Can Teach US About Power. It is worth a close read. Unfortunately, I have run out of time this morning – instead of blogging I spent the time processing another episode of The Atomic Show Podcast. I spoke last night with Ben Kenney, the host of theWatt Podcast. We had a wide ranging discussion about the dynamic nuclear market in Canada and several other topics that will interest you.

That episode is not yet complete, but yesterday I published an interview with Howard Shaffer, a long time nuclear professional and advocate for the technology. Go have a listen – Atomic Show #086 – Howard Shaffer, a voluntary nuclear educator.
