• Copenhagen, De-carbonization and Nuclear Power

  From Dan Yurman’s blog, he asks some good questions about Copenhagen, climate change issues, and nuclear power: “If you want to pursue a strategy of decarbonization, and you don’t want to sacrifice economic development goals, then the nations of the world have only one form of electricity generation for base load demand to use to make [...] Read More...

• Blogger Event at ANS Blogged

  Nice to see a description from Idaho Samizdat’s Dan Yurman of the blogger event last week. Here’s a snippet: While the mainstream news media panel was dissecting their coverage of the nuclear energy industry, a group of 45 people met Tuesday Nov 17 to discuss how social media is making an impact. One of the themes [...] Read More...

• UK Invests in Nuclear Power as CO2-Free Solution

  The news out of the United Kingdom on Monday was that they’re going to be giving the go-ahead to start the process of building 10 new nuclear power plants in England and Wales. According to the BBC, most of the new plants will be built on sites where there are already nuclear power plants in [...] Read More...

• Something We Missed: ANC Panel Discusses Nuclear Energy Blogging

  We missed this last week because of the excitement of the Ohio announcement, but we wanted to make sure we highlighted a panel discussion of nuclear bloggers at the American Nuclear Society meeting in Atlanta that happened last week. Several of our colleagues in the nuclear energy blogging community participated: Rod Adams (Atomic Insights), [...] Read More...

• Bloggers and nuclear energy news sources weigh in on new Ohio project

  While we’re glad the newspapers are sitting up and taking notice of nuclear power’s place in our 21st-century energy mix, we’ve also seen a lot of attention on the new Piketon project from the nuclear energy blogging and news community. We’re proud to present a round-up of some quick reactions to the news from [...] Read More...

• Revision to License Application at Eagle Rock Facility

  We’ve seen some questions floating around recently – most notably by Idaho Samizdat – about AREVA Enrichment Services’ recent submission for a revision of its license application to the Nuclear Regulation Commission for the possibility to increase facility capacity. As noted yesterday, AES has requested an increase in the future licensed capacity of [...] Read More...

• Loan Guarantees Shouldn’t Be Winner-Takes-All

  Dan Yurman at Idaho Samizdat reprints an excellent editorial from Sunday’s Idaho Falls Post Register. The long and short of it is that it’s silly to pit one company against another when we’re talking about loan guarantees for future enrichment plants in the US… we need as many as we can get: There are several [...] Read More...

• Thanks for the Welcome!

  Following our launch yesterday, we were quite pleased to see welcome messages from several of our colleagues at other nuclear blogs… From Steve Aplin at Canadian Energy Issues: No sooner do I get off a post about the challenges the “nuclear industry” faces when it comes to strategic communication than Areva, the French giant, launches a blog [...] Read More...
