NPR Story on the Future of Nuclear Power

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the whither-goes-the-world dept.

deeptrace writes "The Living on Earth show on NPR recently had a segment on the future of Nuclear Energy. The nearly hour long show is available as an mp3 and in transcript form. It talks about hot fusion, cold fusion, and Pebble Bed Reactors. It provides a well balanced and informative overview of progress towards their use for future nuclear power generation. Most interestingly, they talk with Dr. Pamela Boss and Dr. Stanislaw Szpak at the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center in San Diego. Dr. Szpak says of their cold fusion experiments: 'We have 100 percent reproducible results'."

    Now that NPR is on board, when can we start to build new reactors?

    You can never put TOO much water in the reactor.

    Once again, demonstrating the brilliant reasoning behind my "A Proposal for the Construction of the 'New Orleans Nuclear Power Facility'"

    What was wrong with Ms. (Dr.?) Ion's parents, naming her Sue of all things.

    If my name was Ion, I'd surely name my daughters Anne and Katya (Kat for short).
