Nuclearinfo.net

ByRod Adams April 25, 2006July 19, 2020

The depth and breadth of the information resources on the World Wide Web continue to amaze me. It has been more than 20 years since I sent my first email, and almost a dozen years since I posted my first web page, and I have been narrowly focused on energy issues (especially nuclear energy) for most of the thousands of hours that I have spent on the net in recent years.

This morning, however, I had the wonderful experience of a new discovery that I want to share with you. In a discussion on EnergyPulse, I saw a mention of a site that I had never before visited or even saw mentioned. I am not sure where I have been, and some of you have probably already discovered this site and will respond to my enthusiasm with the same yawn as experienced travelers do when confronted by a newbie who has just visited Bermuda.

I’ll risk the distain. Nuclearinfo.net has an immediately recognizable quality. It is not hard to determine within the first few minutes on the site that it is a serious effort – no matter what your opinions are about the topic you will know that the originators of this material have something to say that is worth reading. If you need more information about nuclear energy, make sure that Nuclearinfo.net is on your list of references.

Cap and Trade is a Huge Mistake – Find Out Why Big Money Likes It And Why It Does Not Work
ByRod Adams November 10, 2009July 17, 2020

Steve Kirsch has recently published a guest post on Brave New Climate titled Fee-and-dividend is superior to cap-and-trade for effective carbon emissions reductions that does a better job than I have been able to do to explain my favorite solution to the need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. (I called it a tax and return…
Cooperative Effort is Required to Build Large New Nuclear Power Plants and Allow Those Projects to Create Jobs
ByRod Adams September 3, 2010July 21, 2020

One of the bludgeons that the organized opposition uses to discourage new nuclear power plant construction is the charge that the if the effort was really worth it, “Wall Street” would be financing the plants. That charge presupposes the notion that only the bankers on Wall Street have the smarts to run numbers and make…
Atomic environmentalism
ByRod Adams May 15, 2008July 16, 2020

One of the big reasons that I favor the expanded use of atomic fission power is that it is the cleanest source of reliable power available. As part of my effort to share that knowledge with people that might not have heard it yet, I have begun writing for CleanTechnica.com, which is part of the…
New blog added to the growing roll – NYRTIN KOTISIVU
ByRod Adams February 20, 2008July 18, 2020

A nuclear engineering student from the University of Wisconsin in Madison has started a blog titled NYRTIN KOTISIVU, which roughly translates to “Nerd’s Homepage”. Since I like nuclear nerds and geeks, I added it to my growing list of blog links and recommend that you go over and say hello. One of the hardest parts…
Food For Critical Thinking In Light Of Recent Anti-Nuclear Article in Scientific American
ByRod Adams November 17, 2009July 18, 2020

The November 1009 issue of Scientific American carried a cover story titled A Plan to Power 100 Percent of the Planet with Renewables by Mark Z. Jacobson and Mark A. Delucchi. That article has received some pointed criticism from some of my favorite pro-nuclear bloggers and podcasters, including John Wheeler who produced an episode titled…
Nuclear energy is a disruptively cheap and simple way to boil water, one of humanity's most important processes
ByRod Adams February 1, 2011July 6, 2020

This morning, instead of getting your daily atomic fix from here, please go to the ANS Nuclear Cafe to read a post titled Nuclear energy is a disruptively cheap and simple way to boil water. I wrote post that while musing on the important role that steam has had in enabling modern societies where machines…
