Atomic Show 101 – Small reactor discussion with Charles Barton, Kirk Sorensen, and Dan Yurman

ByRod Adams

On Saturday, August 2, I gathered a group of well informed bloggers to talk about the growing interest in small nuclear power plants.

Kirk Sorensen blogs at Energy from Thorium and is nearly finished with his MS in Nuclear Engineering.

Charles Barton blogs at Energy from Thorium and Nuclear Green.

Dan Yurman blogs at Idaho Samizdat: Nuke Notes and also writes for Fuel Cycle Week.

Go and listen to our discussion at The Atomic Show #101 – Small nuclear power plants with Dan Yurman, Charles Barton, Kirk Sorensen. Comments are always welcome – though moderated at The Atomic Show.
