Ghostlight

Taking a break for Thanksgiving The blog will be dark for the Thanksgiving Day holiday. Blogging on nuclear energy news will resume the following week. See my 4th annual publication of Dan’s 2nd Day Idaho Nuclear Chili below. In the spirit of the holiday, I’d like to thank a lot of people for their full engagement in a continuous dialog about nuclear energy. It would be a very long blog...

"Radiation Leak at Three Mile Island"

That's what the media is reporting. But no context. Nobody says how much radiation is released, nobody knows what the isotopic species are, and whether there is any danger. My strong suspicion is that it is a small amount of radiation coming from predominantly noble-gases that pose very little risk to the people who have been exposed and none at all to the general public. More details would help bring...

These issues are that development of civilian nuclear energy leads to proliferation of nuclear...

California’s Costly Mistake

John Wheeler demonstrates very clearly the huge cost to society imposed by the anti-nuclear movement. Here is just a single example of that cost, the closing of the Rancho Seco nuclear power plant. (…) By looking at the utility’s current energy mix and by comparing the relative costs and environmental impacts, it is fairly [...]

Fast Fission Podcast #16 – mp3 file Renewable energy supporters were spreading the word today that this past Sunday wind energy in Spain produced 53% of the country’s electrical demand. The Spanish wind power industry broke a record on Sunday morning, when turbines nationwide met 53% of the nation's demand for electricity with production of around 10,170 megawatts (MW), according to La...

The Un-Scientific American

Fast Fission Podcast #15 – MP3 File This story will come as no big surprise for my pro-nuclear blogger friends, but for those of you who are not quite as engaged with the online energy debate, you really need to know about this. Since I was a teenager I’ve enjoyed the magazine Scientific American . I’ve viewed them as informative and a good source of credible, accurate information...

A Gathering of Visionaries

Get the MP3 Here Sitting in the audience at the 1st Thorium Energy Alliance Conference, I could not help but think about the people who stood around that pile of uranium and graphite in a squash court almost 70 years ago at the site of the first man-made self-sustained nuclear c hain reaction. Most were visionaries, brilliant scientists, some engineers, and a few reporters. I wondered how many of them...

The Witten Thing

I had a bit of a discussion via Twitter with Eric Weinstein yesterday, starting with his statement: Ed Witten has no Nobel Prize. Now tell me again how this era's physics just feels different because we are too close to it. Basically, he appears to feel that Witten is sufficiently smart that he ought to have a Nobel. My feeling is that if you look at the list of Nobel laureates in physics , you won't...
