The Carnival is the collective voice of blogs by legendary names that emerge each week to tell the story of nuclear energy.
Idaho National Laboratory's Computer Assisted Virtual Environment (CAVE) at the Center for Advanced Energy Studies allows scientists and engineers to literally walk into their data and examine it.
The question is how big is the bird and will any of the proposed deals fly?
The 117th Carnival of Nuclear Energy Bloggers is up at Next Big Future
Even before its successful landing earlier this week, NASA's Mars Science Laboratory was already sending back important scientific data-about the radiation exposure that astronauts might face during a mission to the Red Planet.
The American Nuclear Society's Utility Working Conference and Vendor Technology Expo wrapped up yesterday in Hollywood, Fla. The annual executive conference is attended by hundreds of professional nuclear operators, vendors, and regulators in a format that promotes the open sharing of ideas.
The July/August issue of Radwaste Solutions is available in hard copy and electronically for subscribers (click "subscribers" link in left column).

An image sent by NASA's Curiosity rover shortly after landing
The nuclear-powered roving robotic laboratory Curiosity touched down early on August 6, and is beaming back images while undergoing system checks. The Curiosity landing has generated worldwide interest, including interest in its plutonium power source.
Worldwide energy needs will double by 2040.
The 116th Carnival is up at Idaho Samizdat.
Early on Monday morning (1:31AM Eastern Daylight Time), after having traveled 352 million miles, NASA's robotic rover Curiosity is scheduled to touch down inside the Gale Crater on the surface of Mars. Soon after, it will begin looking for clues about possible early forms of Martian life.
