Atomic Interlude – Heart of Nuclear Reactor
A friend on Twitter posted a link to this song; the beat and the graphics helped to put me into a contemplative mood.

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 best part of this episode is the segment of the interview between 10:00 and 13:00 in which Rod Adams…
This is now three different reactor companies in Texas that are building economically viable reactors quickly. Last Energy, Aalo, and…
In my own little way, I have been using Deep Isolation as a reply when people ask about Nuclear Waste.…
Rod You’re welcome. Please check by here periodically during the next couple of weeks to see if there are any…
@Michael Scarangella From a technical perspective, ISFSI is fine. It has not convinced enough people to make it adequate from…
I got distracted this morning with doing some Analytics work on Atomic Insights, trying to figure out more about who reads this publication. If you have not tried Google Analytics and you have a web site or blog, you should. Fascinating and somewhat addicting to page through all of the different ways to look at…
A friend shared a link on Twitter to a BBC article and video titled International nuclear bank – helping world peace?. The article discusses the long history of the proposals to establish a fuel bank that can be placed in territory under the control of the International Atomic Energy Agency as a means of reassuring…
There is an article on RenewableEnergyWorld.com titled Welcome to the Revolution: Emanuel Sachs and Frank van Mierlo that includes some remarkably negative commentary about nuclear energy, especially considering the education level of the men being quoted. One of them has a PhD from MIT and one has both an MBA from INSEAD in France and…
On November 21, 2005, the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) (with all five members in attendance) held a series of meetings to discuss issues associated with new nuclear power plants. There were three invited groups – utilities that had expressed intentions to file a combined Construction and Operating License (COL) application, vendors and financial…
One of the primary advantages that nuclear energy sources have over chemical energy competitors is energy density. Using our current, rather primitive technology that essentially obtains nuclear energy from the 0.7% fraction of uranium that is easily fissioned with a single, low energy neutron, uranium contains about 16,000 times as much energy per unit weight…
Here is an interesting lede from a story in RenewablesBiz.com titled Non-conformity Taxing Developers: Ask any renewable energy project developer what saved the market from total collapse in 2009 and the unanimous answer would be the cash grants program from the U.S. Treasury. That’s the Section 1603 program changes in the Recovery Act in which…
Today is the 60th anniversary of electricity production at EBR I.
Bill – wasn’t that yesterday, December 20, 2011?
Nuclear energy and minimal techno music – a very good fit!
I’m sure you are correct Rod. I just saw it today on the NEI daily post.
Hey, is Bob Applebaum suggesting that we should not be exposed to any radiation? I was treated at the Mayo Clinic for a brain tumor with a pretty stiff dose of gamma radiation. I am in better health today because of that treatment.
Tomorrow 10:25 at the NRC:
Public Meeting –
Final Rule: AP1000 Design Certification
