"What About the excess American warheads we don't need?

Thomas Neff, Who Turned Soviet Warheads Into Electricity, Dies at 80

An M.I.T. physicist, he engineered an East-West deal that reduced nuclear threats and produced one of the greatest peace dividends of all time.

A great "nameless" man who scored the best victory against nuclear war ever. And the greatest single victory in saving lives by avoiding Coal use, by supplying cheaper toxic-emissions free Uranium, ever.

How come Megatons to Megawatts isn't part of every conversation about the future of energy?
Every nuclear power plant helps prevent nuclear war- because nuclear wars start with war, and fossil fuels conflicts are usually the cause of all big US wars back to WWII. Vietnam excepted.

See GotNuclear.net for more on some of the lives saved by the nuclear fleet in the US, japan, and europe.

Neff's work is not done. None of the excess US warhead material supply has been downconverted for use in power plants. Why not? We have way more than we need no matter how hawkish you are.ctroncapture

Hello nuclear friends, I am currently doing a doctoral dissertation on reprocessing spent fuel and energy security policies. I'm collecting individual professional opinions (NOT representing your organization), so if anyone has time, please follow this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/9RGX6FQ

Thank you!

Hello everyone, I'm going to be an EMT soon and I was wondering what it takes to do emergency response on the nuclear and radiological side of things. I know some fire departments do it and I'm familiar with hazmat.

Any resources, especially books are also really appreciated. Thanks!

Hello all,

I’m in a bit of a dilemma and could use your insights. In my home country, military service for men is mandatory, but many avoid it by getting a doctor’s note citing psychological issue (not exactly the way). I’m considering this route, but I have some concerns.

I’m currently finishing my Master’s degree in Belgium and aiming to enter the nuclear sector here. I’m worried that avoiding military service for mental health reasons might affect my chances of getting security clearance for jobs in nuclear power plants or similar positions.

What has been your experience with background checks for the sector, especially concerning stress health issues? Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know if a DUI will keep you from passing your security clearance at the Y-12 project in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Not for a craft position but as a Bechtel employee (Engineer).
