Atomic Show #217 – Michael Mariotte, President NIRS

ByRod Adams

…nd countries like Denmark and Germany are showing the viability of that goal. Not surprisingly I disagreed with his belief; there are real limitations that make the vision closer to a mirage than an attainable goal. However, we kept the conversation civil. Unlike my talk with Arjun Makhijani, the author of Carbon-Free, Nuclear-Free, Mariotte did not hang up. In fact, we left the conversation open as something that might be continued on another day…

Small is Beautiful, Even for Nuclear Fission Reactors

ByRod Adams

…estor and customer minds about nuclear energy as a power source, you might be interested in reading Less Is More for Designers of “Right-Sized” Nuclear Reactors. The article is generally informative, but the author is evidently compelled to add balance by quoting people like Arjun Makhijani, who can always be relied upon to say something negative about nuclear energy. In this particular article, he demonstrates his preference for ignorance by worr…

Setting the Agenda – Nuclear Energy Assembly 2012

ByRod Adams

…ss work.) If you listen to my recent Atomic Show discussion with Dr. Arjun Makhijani, the author of Carbon Free, Nuclear Free, you will get some insight into the agenda of the people who think that having insufficient energy is a good thing. End Aside. I am looking forward to meeting up with some regular readers and also meeting with other pro nuclear bloggers and podcasters. There might even be an Atomic Show or two coming out of the meeting. Fol…

Adam Curry Exposes Robert Alvarez’s Fukushima Spent Fuel Pool Fable on No Agenda

ByRod Adams

…ingled out two tsunamis — the 38-meter Sanriku tsunami of 1896 that killed 22,000, and the Jogan tsunami of 869 that was comparable in size to the March 11 disaster — which pummeled the very same Tohoku region in the northeast. “There were very many documented large tsunamis in that area but the point is … even one would have been enough to warrant precaution in designing nuclear power plants,” Geller, of the Graduate School of Science at the…

UAMPS stepping forward to serve customers

ByRod Adams

…well. Have you read the often touted “Carbon Free; Nuclear Free” by Arjun Makhijani or Mark Z Jacobson’ Wind, Water, Solar plans? KitemanSA Perhaps NuScale should offer to rebate to the first purchaser a portion of their purchase price to be charged to the second, third, … purchaser. Thus, the first buyer isn’t stuck with paying for all the lessons too. jmdesp It’s from “The Prince”. Chapter VI, “Concerning New Principalities Which Are Acquired…

A Plea for Common Sense – Radiation Protection Rules Need Amendment

ByGuest Author

…ers: 100 passengers a year is nothing. Airlines are already responsible for 22 cancers a day, of which about 11 are expected to be fatal. I’m sure that “No-Threshold” Bob will be here soon to back me up. My analysis uses the risk model from BEIR VII, after all, which he has blessed as God’s own truth. Everything else is just “1997 science.” Jason Kobos Getting cancer =/= dying from cancer. 1.) Early detection is the best way to beat cancer. If som…

Nonproliferation is a disguised antinuclear energy effort

ByRod Adams

…oted antinuclear activists fall into that category – Ed Lyman (UCS), Arjun Makhijani (IEER), Gregory Jaczko, and Thomas Cochran (NRDC) all have physics PhDs. Over the years, a huge portion of the DOE nuclear energy budget has been captured by fusion programs that have nothing to do with generating energy. That money could have been beneficially used to improve light water reactor technology or to fund useful cycles like molten salt breeders, light…

Nukes kill more birds than wind?

…research, Sovacool is currently working for the same people who fund Arjun Makhijani, Mark Cooper, and Peter Bradford John Chatelle It’s pretty clear that many, if not most 501(c)(3) organizations are in business to support revenue streams of various for profit enterprises. It should be a requirement that to hold the tax exempt status of a 501(c)(3) enterprise that their revenue sources be public. Daniel And what about the oil-for-ape scandal with…

IB Times – Covering a 300 person protest of nuclear plant restart

ByRod Adams

…pe Rod or one of the regular commenters will fill us in. Aslo, the name of Makhijani is a red flag to me. By the way, I didn’t find a link to the IEER report, and have only read the PRnewswire release. Joris van Dorp Maybe Lady Gaga could do a song about nuclear power? Joris van Dorp Hm, strange story from IEER. IMHO, they’re putting a spectacular slant on a variety of issues and half-truths. Begging to be picked apart and hung up to dry on the to…

Fission Fans Should Unite – Target Of Interest Is Fossil Fuel Market Share

ByRod Adams

…lear – sometimes heralded by opponents of nuclear fission, including Arjun Makhijani, President of IEER, and the high profile, media favorite nuclear physicist Dr. Michio Kaku as the ultimate energy source – yet it is all the same D-T fusion that we regularly deployed and tested in very carefully controlled fashion in underground nuclear tests and tunnel shots as part of the nuclear test program. It is easier to make Peaceful Nuclear Explosives th…

Don’t Nuke the Climate – A Response to NIRS from Rauli Partanen and Janne M. Korhonen

ByGuest Author

…y are Mark Z. Jacobson, Amory Lovins, Naomi Klein, S. David Freeman, Arjun Makhijani, Michael Mariotte and Helen Caldicott. Lovins has been making that recommendation since at least 1976; a quick search with Lovins “energy guru” yielded more than 4,300 results. Are you saying that those people and the people who listen to them and quote them widely are “extremes?” Kevin Krause @All I would say that I have seen or experienced pretty much all of wha…
