In the Sunday news magazine section of The Washington Post dated August 2, 2009 (it is still funny the way that magazines are often post dated) there is a lengthy and detail rich article about Thorium Power’s leader, Seth Grae, and his epic journey towards introducing an improved fuel design based on the unique characteristics…

There is a discussion worth participation on NEI Nuclear Notes titled Chronicles in Advocacy: Tell It to the Wind.

My thoughts and prayers are with the people in Japan as they struggle to first survive and then to begin rebuilding their lives. Not surprisingly, people who are professionally invested in actions to slow or kill nuclear energy developments are working at a feverish pitch to try to spin reality around. They have been working…

On 2 January 2006, the Financial Times published an article by Thomas Catan titled Dispute likely to boost arguments for nuclear power. It looks like I am not the only one who thinks that the development of favorable opinions about new nuclear power projects is a logical result of the controversy over Russian natural gas…
