This is a personal reflection of an event that altered world history. If you are already overwhelmed by other stories and coverage of the event, please forgive me, read something else and come back to Atomic Insights later.

As I talk with other “nukes” at conferences, on the web and in other social circumstances, I often get into political discussions. I know – you are supposed to avoid politics, religion and sex in social circumstances, but I guess I never really accepted the idea that one should avoid all interesting topics as a…
Shane and I were unable to get together for a show last week, but stay tuned. We will be back this week with Show #44.

great presentantion i have sent the link to all of my friends it explains perfecty my vision of the history of nuclear power
hello
in our fantastic presentation on google you briefly talked about nuclear power cars . i really would like to know more about this.
also many nuclear reactors power plant use diesel engines as backup, why not use small nuclear reactors like an S9G reactor or even the Adams engine as backup.
Another mad nuclear concept that i have had would be possible to built a nuclear power airplane possible UAV with unlimited flight time.
It would look like a mixture of an the Antonov An-70, the E-3 AWACS Airborne Warning and System Control and the LASER ABL YAL 1A AIRBORNE but whit an Teralaser activated by super capacitator banks charged by the nuclear reactor.
And finally I have read on the internet about Nuclear Remediation Technologies, Modifying the Half-Life of Radioactive Isotopes.
