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

Returning soon

June 25, 2018 By Rod Adams 3 Comments

Many days have passed since the last post here. Those of you who follow @Atomicrod on Twitter know that I have neither disappeared nor retired completely from the fray.

After the 4th of July, you should begin seeing more frequent, but still irregular updates here.

A word of advice based on recent learning experiences; I’ll never ever imply that stay at home parents don’t work. It’s an assignment full of varied, rewarding, exhausting and occasionally frustrating tasks. That combo makes it a lot like work.

Our charges return to the custody of their parents this weekend.

    In reality the most rewarding role and the reason for our concern for the environment.

    I realise it’s a long time ago … but there’s still one more problem (at least) in
    that Sovacool “analysis” of nuclear bird kills … (but I couldn’t add a comment to the original … you’ve probably closed them?).
    https://atomicinsights.com/nukes-kill-more-birds-than-wind/

    Sovacool gives the mortality of Limerick at 0.261 deaths per GWh assuming 274 birds a year …
    274/(1200e6*24*365*0.9/1e-9) = 0.0289 … he’s out by a factor of 10.

    and as Paul’s article mentioned, it is two years, not 1 so …he was out by a factor of 20.
