Recently I took my family to the Tampa, Florida Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI), which had a traveling exhibit on Antarctica. The display included a great deal of information about the dedicated explorers and unique wildlife indigenous to that remote land with one of the harshest climates on earth. Several of the exploration groups…

Treasure trove of documents about the ML-1, the US Army’s trailer-mounted, nitrogen-cooled, atomic fission-heated generator

I recently published an article featuring a video from the Army Nuclear Power Program that focused on the Army’s mobile, low power closed cycle nitrogen cooled nuclear reactor designated the ML-1. The article generated a good discussion that indicated a strong desire for more information about the program. My initial searches didn’t turn up a…

Offshore Power Systems: Big Plants for a Big Customer

ByRod Adams

Most people associated with the nuclear industry, and many residents of Florida have some knowledge of the ill-fated Westinghouse/Newport News Offshore Power System project. Begun in 1970, this project was based on two ideas. The first was that a series of identical reactors produced in a factory type setting could be completed in a shorter…

Floating Nuclear Plants – Don't cede the market to the Russians

Like the United States, Russia has a long history of operating nuclear powered ships and submarines. Russia, and its atomic ancestor, the Soviet Union, has experienced a few more major problems with the technology. They have not had quite the financial resources, political support, technical leadership and discipline that has helped to ensure the almost…
