Chuck DeVore is a rare breed. He is a retired LtCol in the US Army Reserve, spent about 13 years in the aerospace industry and is now a California State Assemblyman working on overturning the state’s de facto ban on new nuclear power plants. Chuck and I met up via phone on May 5, 2008 and recorded our conversation for The Atomic Show
