Two Thoughts In Search Of A Theme
Oct. 29th, 2009 10:23 amBusy day at the office, primarily due to off-site meetings, but here's a couple of links for your reading pleasure:
1) I've become involved with Mission Outreach, a charitable group that Rotary is partnering with to get medical supplies to Third World countries. Well, they were recently featured on Chicago Public Radio (audio link). I actually haven't listened to the segment (yet) but I pass it on for those interested.
2) Elizabeth Moon, the writer, is talking about global warming on her blog. It's a longish four-part series, which I will try to read soon. Related to that, the blog Brave New Climate has a very interesting post on a "new" (actually developed years ago) type of safe nuclear reactor. The device:
a) Uses current reactor waste as a fuel
b) Does not lead to bomb enrichment
c) Is inherently safe (shuts down if coolant is lost)
d) Produces very little radioactive waste, which is dangerous for a shorter period of time.
Now, off to my off-site meetings.
