Atomic Insights is hosting a summer sleepover camp

ByRod Adams

I apologize for the lack of recent articles. Since the last week in May, the headquarters of Atomic Insights has been hosting a family summer camp for three really happy and energetic children ranging in age from 2-7. During rare and short free time, I’ve been engaging on Twitter or moderating comments here, but finding the time to create new article content here has been difficult. I’ll keep trying to wear our grandkids out without having the same effect on myself. I hope to post on several important topics within the next couple of weeks. Maybe we’ll have a rainy day soon.

Note: For those who are deeply interested in the future of nuclear energy in the U.S., there is an important confirmation hearing taking place June 13, 2017. Two new nominees for Commission and one very competent and experienced nominee for a third term and continuation as Chairman will appear before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. Annie Caputo, David Wright and Kristine Svinicki are all good, strong candidates who deserve confirmation.

  1. Time with family is the most important thing anyone can be doing, no matter how critical the issues one addresses at other times. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing the adorable photograph.

  2. I always look forward to your articles most interesting and thought provoking . As a foster carer I see the vital need for young children to have a proper upbringing. Hopefully our efforts to our joint cause will mean we all have a future free from global warming. The current SMR proposals look promising if the regulators would move up a gear and do something,

    Patrick Moore is doing great things in terms of getting people to reconsider their position on the use of nuclear energy.
