The world is waking up from a long stupid slumber... [View all]

[NNadir]

I've been working to understand, often in complete isolation, the chemistry and physics of the actinides and fission products in used nuclear fuel for decades.

I began to despair that what I learned and what I recognized would ever go mainstream. People were still talking about wastes and dumps.

Thus, Man! I wish I could attend this event in Indianapolis that apparently will discuss one of my long held ideas, one I've espoused for at least 20 years, that was sometimes the subject of abuse by the clowns who brought us here in orgies of fear and ignorance:

New Weekly CO2 Concentration Record Set at the Mauna Loa Observatory, 424.40 ppm.

The session I would love to attend is this one.

Nuclear Waste or Valuable Product?

(I am not a member of the ANS, but my son is.)

There are zero - count 'em - zero components in used nuclear fuel that cannot be used to solve major problems. Some of these problems I note can be solved by nothing else at all, and in many cases, by nothing else as well.

We are in a very dark time, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it's the warm, magnificent glow of radioactivity.

If I die tomorrow, I can die happy and hopeful for the future.
