A couple of weeks ago, I was interviewed by Rob McNealy, who runs a very informative podcast called StartUpStoryRadio. You can find the recorded interview at Alternative Energy Sources with Rod Adams of Adams Atomic Engines.
Rod Adams is Managing Partner of Nucleation Capital, a venture fund that invests in advanced nuclear, which provides affordable access to this clean energy sector to pronuclear and impact investors. Rod, a former submarine Engineer Officer and founder of Adams Atomic Engines, Inc., which was one of the earliest advanced nuclear ventures, is an atomic energy expert with small nuclear plant operating and design experience. He has engaged in technical, strategic, political, historic and financial analysis of the nuclear industry, its technology, regulation, and policies for several decades through Atomic Insights, both as its primary blogger and as host of The Atomic Show Podcast.

The number of potential customers is equal to the human population and…
On August 29, 2008, I spoke with John Deal, the CEO of Hyperion Power Generation about his company’s plans to build 4,000 small nuclear power plants sized to be able to be transported anywhere in the world on the back of a truck. (Of course, there are places in the world not reachable by truck,…
I noticed yesterday that I had missed two interesting articles in the Financial Times last week (July 8, 2008) – Oil price prompts nuclear move and Total and Eni eye nuclear option.
