Are the Tides Turning for Advanced U.S. Nuclear? ANS Nuclear CafeJanuary 31, 2019, 6:01AM|Doug HardtmayerWelcome to the New Year! Even though I am on the road, there is just so much happening lately in nuclear I could not pass up the opportunity to talk about it! This episode of RadioNuclear, we take a look at recent and exciting legislation and policy for advanced nuclear. This includes the passages of the NEIMA and NEICA bills and what the Idaho National Laboratory may look like in the coming years. We also discuss the NRC's recent decision on post Fukushima regulation. Lastly, we look on how you can adopt a dog from the Chernobyl exclusion zone. No, I am not making that up!Go to ArticleTags:aerospaceamerican nuclear societyannual meetingauthorscareers in nuclearchernobylcraig piercydoug hardtmayerengineeringfukushimaidaho national labinlnasaneicaneimanrcnuclear emerging technology for space conference (nets)nuclear newspublic policyr&dradio nuclearradionuclearreactorsspace applicationsultra safe nuclear corporationunited stateswes deasonwesley deasonShare:LinkedInTwitterFacebook

It's still a long way from pushing nuclear builds the way we need to address a host of environmental issues, but it is a good start.Go to ArticleTags:american nuclear societyansauthorsbill gatescraig piercydc perspectivedoedr. james concaed mcginnisenergy policyenvironmental benefits of nuclearidaho national labinljim concamaria korsnickmarilyn krayneineicaneimanuclear technologyoffice of nuclear energypublic policyr&dterra powerunited stateswashingtonShare:LinkedInTwitterFacebook
EBR-1 in PhotosANS Nuclear CafeDecember 20, 2018, 5:02PM|Will DavisDecember 20, 1951 marks an important date in the history of nuclear power; it's the date on which the first useful electric power was generated by atomic fission. While the now-famous event at that time only powered four light bulbs, the somewhat stunt-like nature of the day obscured the fact that the plant was actually set up to generate considerably more power, and did so. Let's take a look at this fact and, at the same time, the facility through illustrations from my collection and from photographs that I took myself while touring EBR-1 earlier this year.Go to ArticleTags:american nuclear societyebr-1idaho national labidaho national laboratoryinlnational laboratoriesnuclear historynuclear newsradiationreactorsunited stateswill davisShare:LinkedInTwitterFacebook
