The Nuclear Construction Summit, organized by Nuclear Energy Insider and eyeforenergy.com, is being held at the Dupont Hotel on Dupont Circle in Washington, DC. It is a compact venue; the organizers initially expected that this first annual conference would attract about 80-100 people, but the full registered attendance is about 159 plus another 25…
Ted Rockwell is a man who literally wrote the book on radiation shielding while he was serving as the Technical Director at Naval Reactors. He was in that position during the period when the Nautilus and the Shippingport reactors were built to use the heat generated by fission to produce useful power. Ted has been…
As part of my continuing effort to share information about the relationship between energy commodity prices and nuclear power plant operations, I encourage you to read a March 31, 2008 article posted on Tradingmarkets.com titled DJ US GAS: Futures Rise On Supply Concerns, Nuclear Outages. As you can see by the date, I am a…
Timothy Hurst at Red, Green and Blue took notice of the Nuclear Energy Live debate on Green Options and was somewhat surprised by the final poll results that showed that 75% of the self selected audience of readers accepted nuclear power as a tool in the battle against global climate change. In his post titled,…

The bike the Natgas horse is riding needs to be renamed to reflect the package of free ride advantages fossil fuels recieve, like “uncosted externalities”, or something more creative than that.
Finrod – I have thought about that. I also thought about asking the artist to give the natural gas contestant a large head start and to put a manure bag on the back of the “clear nuke” horse. One of the reasons for posting is to obtain feedback and suggestions and then go back for another version.
I like the fat NRC jockey.
