Unfortunately, the science and engineering professions have become dominated by leftist ideology in the 21st century, and these professions are succumbing to an Orwellian world where facts are fiction and perception...
If Americans don't speak up now to put an end to the man-made climate-change nonsense, they will surrender themselves to a new normal of brownouts, blackouts, and energy rationing. ...
On December 13, 2022, physicists at the U.S. government-funded National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California announced that for the first time a powerful fusion reactor had...
Tritium is nothing more than a "political" problem, generating lots of sound and fury from the media. Otherwise, it poses no threat to humans or the environment. ...
The anti-nuclear mantra is that there is no solution to the “problem” of used nuclear fuel, and for this reason nuclear power plants should be shut down. The truth of the...
The rather obvious objective of today’s antinuclear movement is to achieve energy rationing, which will significantly disrupt the lives of all Americans. ...
The final article in this series will address the environmental issues associated with U.S. wind turbine, solar panel, and battery energy storage system installations proposed for transitioning to a renewable energy...
In article six of this series, we address the serious renewable energy supply-chain problem that America faces in attempting to transition to a renewable energy economy. America is, unfortunately, very dependent...
As indicated in the previous article of this series, the true environmental impact of generating electricity from an energy resource can only be realized by considering the resource’s entire life cycle,...
The true environmental impact of generating electricity can only be realized by considering the energy resource's entire lifecycle, from material extraction to disposal/recycling. ...
Energy density, conversion efficiency, and generating system capacity are primary considerations in choosing energy resources. Nuclear power leads the field in every area. ...
As indicated in the first article of this series, there are two very important electricity-generating system performance measures that must be considered when making decisions about what energy resources should be...
America’s energy policy is an unmitigated disaster, being driven by a catastrophic man-made climate-change hoax. Instead of using nuclear energy to generate abundant, affordable, and reliable electricity, our leaders are turning...
This is Part 2 of a two-part series that addresses nuclear power plant safety objectives and the associated safety measures designed to achieve those objectives. The previous article explained that plant...
This is Part 1 of a two-part series that will address nuclear power plant safety objectives and the associated safety measures designed to achieve those objectives. There are three operational safety...
