CNET discusses atomic renaissance with Skip Bowman

ByRod Adams

Michael Kanellos, a staff writer for CNET, published an article on September 13, 2007 titled Nuclear power looks for comeback in U.S. based on an interview conducted with Skip Bowman, the CEO of the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI). The article is useful, and there is an extensive set of comments attached. You might recognize the author of of few of the comments. 😉

(Additional note – after posting this comment, I realized that it was a very mild way to pass through a milestone – this is post number 600 on the Atomic Insights blog. Yeah! Clap, clap. End of celebration.)

The way the story is told, the uranium extracted from Navajo tribal land came at great cost to the health and welfare of the miners and their…

  • Non-proliferation Community Working To Hamper Innovation That May Reduce Both Cost and Power Consumption

    ByRod Adams

    I often suspect that the raison d’etre for the nuclear weapons non-proliferation community is to add barriers that restrict the beneficial use of nuclear energy. Many prominent spokespeople from that community can be counted on to make proclamations of worry for any innovation in the fuel cycle that improves performance, lowers costs, or reuses material….
