Going Nuclear: Notes from the officially unofficial book tour
I work in the analytical labs at one of Europe’s oldest and largest nuclear sites: Sellafield, in northwestern England. I spend my days at the fume hood front, pipette in one hand and radiation probe in the other (and dosimeter pinned to my chest, of course). Outside the lab, I have a second job: I moonlight as a writer and public speaker. My new popular science book—Going Nuclear: How the Atom Will Save the World—came out last summer, and it feels like my life has been running at full power ever since.

The effects of bubble interaction and boundary surfaces on the radial oscillation dynamics of multiple air bubbles in a liquid pool are analyzed. Quantitative predictions are obtained for the coupling between bubble phasing and the distribution of power over a range of frequencies, the crowding effect on bubble frequency when multiple bubbles are formed in a single pool, the effect on frequency of a bubble's rise from a point near the floor of a pool toward the free surface, and the frequency correction for test tank data when the design condition of interest is a discharge in a larger pool.
