Atomic energy technology, politics, and perceptions from a nuclear energy insider who served as a US nuclear submarine engineer officer

Backyard Nukes – DSC 593

May 4, 2007 By Rod Adams

On May Day, I spent an enjoyable 25 minutes being interviewed by Adam Curry as a guest “savant” for the Daily Source Code. Adam has been intrigued by my advocacy of nuclear plants safe enough to be surrounded by people – he called the show Backyard Nukes and posted it on May 2, 2007.

It was a blast to participate in the show and try to share some nuclear knowledge in a more light hearted manner than usual. It was also quite rewarding to hear a creative and accomplished entrepreneur volunteer to hook Adams Atomic Engines, Inc. up with some of the VC’s that he knows. Stay tuned for more developments along this vector. (I have been hanging around with too many aviators recently.)
