| Analytics Graph for the Atomic Insight Blog |
I just checked my Google Analytics stats for the past month. Interestingly enough, most of the increase in visits is due to a single day and most of the visits on that day went directly to a single post instead of to the blog front page. Guess which post drew the attention.

Thanks for another one. This podcast was a bit different. I’m not sure if this was touched on during the…

So another optimistic report. Great! Let me repeat my somewhat vague questions. How easy would it be to site one…
Rod and Valerie, Yes I agree! Rod, thanks much for a very encouraging and detailed report. I’m also interested in…
Here is another excellent product that reinforces my belief that we can learn something from our past. When you watch the first few minutes of this video please think for several moments about some of the commentary that you might have heard recently about the New Deal. According to some pundits, the New Deal did…
Of course, the title to this article is rhetorical. I know exactly why Europe is turning to coal – Europeans needs power, they cannot depend solely on importing gas from Russia, Iran and Algeria, there are some Europeans that comprise a very strong and financially well supported anti-nuclear movement, and European consumer needs are vastly…
One of my favorite authors is Michael Fumento – he has published a number of excellent books and articles during the past 20 years. However, I think his logic is a bit weak when it comes to his recent article about the use of oil sands as a replacement for other oil supplies. There is…
As I perused the net for new material to talk about with you, I found a stark contrast of the type that makes for good article fodder. This week, the US State Department published an article by James Lake, associate laboratory director for nuclear programs at the Idaho National Laboratory, titled The Renaissance of Nuclear…
I just read Lester Brown’s guest post at Grist titled Waste of Energy: The Flawed Economics of Nuclear Power. Considering the fact that one of Lester’s primary sources is Amory Lovins’s “The Nuclear Illusion” (4.2 MB PDF), I was not at all surprised to recognize some substantial holes in Lester’s logic and data. David Bradish…
When Canada began its nuclear power program, it chose to use heavy water to moderate (slow down) the fission neutrons. This choice reduces the number of neutrons that are not available for fission by reducing the absorption of those neutrons in the moderator. The improvement in neutron utilization is enough to allow a self sustaining…
It’s the Solar crossover isn’t it?
Yes. I am not quite sure yet why that particular one struck such a nerve.
Dan Yurman linked you, and your piece in response to the solar crossover was the most thoughtful and investigated. Since then I’ve added your blog to my feeds.
Hi Mr Adams. Are you aware of this Slashdot piece:

Cheers!
Rod, that article got linked, and I found your great blog, too. Keep up the great work. I have really been enjoying it since then.
It looks like the majority of comments are nuke-favourable. Here’s the article in question:
