Carnival of Nuclear Energy plus New Blogger

Carnival

The 124th Carnival of Nuclear Energy Bloggers is now posted at Atomic Power Review.

Once again, Will Davis starts the post with an opportunity to guess "what is this" about a picture from the nuclear past.   I thought I knew what this picture showed.  I was wrong.  Maybe you will do better.  Give it a try!

The Carnival contains a link to Gail Marcus of Nuke Power Talk discussing Japan's nuclear future (Marcus worked in Japan).  There are two posts on pro-nuclear activism: my post about Vermont and ANS Nuclear Cafe's Laura Scheele on Tennessee.

At Atomic Insights, Rod Adams asks why NRC commissioners chose to have a meeting with anti-nuclear groups, no pro-nuclear groups invited. (I commented on this post that it was Deja Vu All Over Again, since the NRC commissioner did the same thing in Vermont two years ago--met with the opponent groups only.)

Three excellent posts by Brian Wang of Next Big Future about world-wide good news on nuclear energy.  Art Wharton at ANS Nuclear Cafe encourages United States leadership  in nuclear energy--American leadership is a non-proliferation issue.

Come to the Carnival!

New Blogger for Nuclear Energy: Andrea Jenetta at I Dig U Mining

Those of us in the nuclear industry and nuclear blogosphere know Andrea Jennetta, the founder and publisher of Fuel Cycle Week (FCW).  As Jennetta describes FCW:  the only nuclear industry publication with a sense of humor, incisive analysis and discernible opinions.

Now Jennetta has started a new blog: I Dig U Mining.  This is a terrific blog, with short, pointed posts and great illustrations.  Here's a typical post:  What's In A Harmless Solar Panel Anyway?

Rod Adams has a very thoughtful post welcoming Jennetta's blog. Her blog will cover a neglected part of the nuclear story: uranium mining.  In the same post, Adams also welcomes Nuke Roadie's blog.  (I have an earlier post welcoming Roadie.) Both blogs are very welcome!

Welcome to New Blogs from Nuke Roadie and Milton Caplan Plus a Link to My Post At ANS Nuclear Cafe

Two Great New Blogs

Nuke Roadie: The first blog, Nuke Roadie, was started this month by Nuke Roadie.  Nuke Roadie is known to many of us in the nuclear blogosphere for his blog comments, Facebook page, and twitter feed @nukeroadie.  Nuke Roadie is a contract worker in the nuclear industry. (Yeah, you might have guessed that.) I have appreciated his excellent comments on my blog and other blogs.  I have been following him on FB and Twitter for years. I am delighted to see his new blog!  I have added it to the Yes Vermont Yankee blog roll.

MZConsulting Blog: The second blog, Milton Caplan MZConsulting Blog, is not a new blog.  I had just never encountered it before.  Milton Caplan commented on my blog post at ANS Nuclear Cafe.  This led me to check out his company's blog.  MZConsulting is a Canadian company, consulting in nuclear energy, and Mr. Caplan is chair of the World Nuclear Association Economics Working Group.  You can read a little more about Caplan here. As you could expect, these blog posts are thoughtful and authoritative. I have added this blog to my blog roll.


The Search for Nuclear Happiness at ANS Nuclear Cafe

On Tuesday, I posted at ANS Nuclear Cafe on my methods for seeking happiness while supporting nuclear energy.  The Search for Nuclear Happiness includes my favorite techniques to support both nuclear energy and my own personal satisfaction.  One technique involves brownies--- or actually, coffee-and-brownies.  Well, actually, it's not about the brownies, it's about getting together with other supporters! I believe supporters of nuclear energy have a Brownie Deficit, because we don't hang out enough together.  Nuclear opponents are constantly getting their groups together for this and for that.  Such meetings energize them.

Meetings with our pro-nuclear friends can energize us.

Eat brownies, enjoy your friends, and read pro-nuclear blogs!
