…ukes in the UK I think he will be knighted one day. Daniel Regarding Danny Roderick and the book Tipping Point by Gladwell. In the book, you have 3 profiles that can swing things around on the grand scale of a market: connectors, mavens and salesmen. I think we have a trio here. This guy is the one. SteveFost My point is based on the premise that there is no earthly reason why bringing a SMR online should cost anything close to that kind of coin….
…ronounces nucular but digs nuclear. We should call him maverick instead of Roderick. He is making things happen. Daniel I have seen Danny Roderick discussing nuclear on TV in Canada. The guys face And voice And credentials Belong on those commercials. Eric_G Only 360p? Really? Even my year and a half old cellphone will record 720p video. Good message, but someone in the social media marketing department should have caught that. John Chatelle It’s…
…Thank you, Rod, for fighting to make all our futures better. Daniel Danny Roderick ? Yesterday’s news ….. Daniel A long time ago, the band Genesis was looking for a replacement for the position of lead singer due to Peter Gabriel’s departure. They searched for a replacement. Auditioned hundreds to no avail. Without noticing it, the band was measuring everyone thru Phil Collins’ own singing abilities. The drumer, Phil Collins, had it all. Those…
…ther favorite whipping boy. This one is pretty much debunked. Daniel Danny Roderick, Westinghouse CEO, was in Canada peddling his AP1000 for Ontario. Gotta love what he says about Germany at the 5:00 marl of this video. Germany was against nuclear when he was using a slide rule in high school ! http://watch.bnn.ca/headline/headline-june-2013/headline-june-28-2013/#clip956294 Now, they are burning more coal than ever. David Owen Impeaching Obama fo…
…e the left disliked it will quickly become an opponent. John Tucker thanks Roderick. I will try to me more careful in my posting endeavors. You know the Fuel/Environmental Charge has to be one of the greatest marketing gimmicks of all time. I imagine they even sell the fuel back to communities that pay for the plants and electricity as well. Also you would think, as you are paying for waste removal that waste removal might already be included in t…
…e was announced in February 2014. https://atomicinsights.com/westinghouses-roderick-shifts-resources-smr-ap1000/ As noted in this article, Westinghouse had not changed its mind and is still waiting for the SMR market to develop before it takes its project off of the shelf. FermiAged I apologize, as you are correct. I did not read the article. As soon as I saw Westinghouse, it drew a negative emotional response. WEC has some fine, hard working peop…
…requirements (Rod can confirm/correct me here) Rod Adams @JamesEHopf Danny Roderick is no longer CEO. The last I heard he was still formally employed, but that may be due to the contracts normally signed with senior executives. Jon Hall Would that be the same Bechtel that ripped the american taxpayers, and our service men and women, off in Iraq? Yeah, thats whats needed, put a known thieving corporate monster on the job. By golly, they’ll watch yo…
…can learn from that. Daniel To the risk of repeating myself. I think Danny Roderick, CEO of Westinghouse, has the clout to change things. He is putting his foot in the door everywhere with the AP1000 and he is 1) charismatic, 2) knowledgeable 3) motivated. I honestly think Westinghouse should go a great commercial like Areva did a while ago. But this time, focusing on energy density, waste generated and scope of management of such waste. Danny, wh…
…oned in the podcast. Thanks for the link. turnages From the podcast: Danny Roderick of Westinghouse was recalled as saying a year previously concerning the decision to invest in modular manufacturing facilities, “At least 30 plants in our order book for this to make sense.” It’s not stated how many SMRs these 30 plants would correspond to, presumably the size of the old coal plant the customer wanted replaced would dictate that. Each of their plan…
…rse China is also preparing Hualong One for export. Westinghouse CEO Danny Roderick appears confident that even with EDF’s head start at Hinkley Point C, his Moorside AP1000 units will complete first. We shall see. So will the Chinese. Ed Leaver @publius. “Roughly one Hoover Dam for every half gigawatt of baseload.” Fixed it for ya. And falling water levels (due to drought) have reduced head and resulted in Hoover being de-rated to 1.6 GW. Total i…
…at the same information and read it in completely different ways. As Danny Roderick has often stated, and Westinghouse is now more clearly stating in real commercials, Westinghouse is focused on nuclear energy. That is all they do. In my opinion, nuclear projects will be more successful when they are attempted by corporations or isolated segments of corporations that have no internal competing interests. That is not really any different than what…
Daniel I think CEO Danny Roderick‘s face and voice belongs in this commercial instead of a quidam’s. He impressed me on BNN in Canada. Eric_G I think I recognize one of the yellow bridges in Pittsburgh. Fitting, since Westinghouse did (stll does, maybe) a lot of work on nuclear energy there. When I was a kid, I remember seeing the Westinghouse Nuclear sign along the Turnpike. Back then, Westinghouse buildings had blue cube shaped signs on a post…
