Round 4 of the Atomic Tournament Series headed to the Georges River and Botany Bay, with plenty of rain, a tricky tide and some exceptional tournament fishing. Host Andrew Death sits down with the top three teams to break down exactly how they approached the day, the decisions they made on the water and the techniques that produced the winning bags. Although all three teams finished on the podium, each found success in a completely different way. From lightly weighted plastics around moored boats, to targeting sticks in Woolooware Bay, to fishing oyster-covered structure and pontoons, this episode is packed with practical tournament knowledge that any bream angler can apply. There is also plenty of discussion around modern electronics, including Lowrance ActiveTarget, lure selection, jighead weights, leader choice, tournament decision-making and how changing conditions affected the bite throughout the day. Round sponsor Samaki also gets a mention, with a story about Harvey catching quality bream while chasing mulloway on a Samaki soft plastic. Round 4 Results
In this episode, Ryan joins us to drag the witches into the 21st century by upgrading their old brooms using other household items. Then, what on Earth happens if you send a werewolf to the Moon? Panelists: Jim, Derek, Ryan
Idaho National Laboratory (INL) was born in 1949 as the National Reactor Testing Station after the Atomic Energy Commission decided they needed a place to test controlled nuclear fission power systems. Before being taken over by the AEC, the land was controlled and used by the U.S. Navy to test refurbished weapons, up to and including the 16″ guns carried by battleships. After a five decade long hiatus in building new reactors while also implementing a significant level of diversification into other research areas, the INL is regaining strength in its original purpose as a place to test and demonstrate complete nuclear reactor power plants. (The term “plant” is not really applicable to micro-reactors, but it will serve as a general term for now.) This time through, the design, approval, construction and testing programs are not being led by a federal monopoly called the Atomic Energy Commission. It is not focused on developing reactors that can be used to test the ideas of scientists who don’t really care if anyone wants to buy the system they are developing. Instead, the reactor development efforts underway and in planning for the future are more cooperative, distributed and commercially driven. Josh Gillespie is the Chief Operating Officer of the National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC). He visited the Atomic Show to talk about NRIC and its role in helping the Nuclear Renaissance gain traction and success. NRIC was created in 2019 as a result of directives and authorizations contained in the Nuclear Energy Innovation Capabilities Act (NEICA). Its purpose is to build bridges that enable private sector organizations to work with national laboratory scientists and physical resources to cross the “valley of death” between good ideas and commercially viable products. It is tasked with preparing facilities to serve as test beds for new reactor development and testing and to develop sites where new facilities can be built. Though it can be a challenge for any government organization – like a national lab – NRIC has been tasked to be able to operate at the speed of a start-up. It is taking strides in that direction, though it is still limited in speed by the federal government budget cycle. Josh described how NRIC is working closely with the Department of Energy Idaho Operations Office which is directly responsible for the DOE 1271 authorization process for both reactors and supporting facilities – like those that are in the fuel supply chain or involved in radioactive materials testing and evaluation. NRIC helps private sector companies develop their plans, find suitable facilities, prepare required submittals and engage in readiness reviews. NRIC’s reach extends beyond the boundaries of the Idaho National Laboratory; has been contracted to support several of the Reactor Pilot Program developers that have built or are building their reactors in Texas or Utah. Josh described DOME as the crowning jewel of NRICs facilities. It once served as the containment dome for the highly successful but prematurely retired Experimental Breeder Reactor II, the remains of which are encased in concrete and grout in the basement and foundations of the existing facility. DOME is designed to be able to host a test reactor that might be exercised to its limits while still preventing any release of radioactive materials. Radiant Nuclear was selected as the first tenant of the DOME. It is scheduled to complete its operational testing and to remove its equipment from the facility in a year to make room for the next tenant. Top shield covering Antares Mark-0 in RACE facility NRIC played an important role in the success of the Reactor Pilot Program. It helped to find and repurpose facilities for Antares (RACE – Reactor and Criticality Experiment), Deployable Energy (NRAD – Neutron Radiography Reactor) Aside: Bit of INL Trivia – The building that is now RACE housed the Army’s ML-1 reactor development program from the late 1950s until the program was ended in 1964. End Aside. Josh described NRIC’s role in the Nuclear Energy Launch Pad as similar to that of a subdivision developer. A 2,000 acre plot has been allocated. NRIC is responsible for developing basic infrastructure, including roads and common utility systems. It will arrange for site characterization studies in preparation for environmental assessments. Private sector developers will lease their sites and contract for any additional services desired from an available menu. These include additional security and fire services. There will be similar services offered to developers who are building on sites that are not INL; that part of the program is called Launch Pad – USA. Josh is an Idaho native who is happy to be involved in creating a winning partnership between private sector companies and government/national lab organizations. He believes that the new developments will help Idaho National Lab continue to thrive and lead in nuclear energy development. He is excited about helping to deploy abundant sources of clean electricity and heat that will contribute to a bright future for Idaho, the U.S. and the rest of the world. You’ll enjoy this show. Listen carefully and comment via X if desired.
MARVEL, a creative acronym meaning Microreactor Applications Research Validation and EvaLuation, is a trail blazing reactor development program designed to help the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and the nuclear industry remember how to build and operate small nuclear reactors for testing and demonstration. The program was initiated in 2020 and has created many opportunities to learn and improve. The current MARVEL program lead, Dr. Abdalla Abou-Jaoude, joined me for Atomic Show #348 to talk about the program and its historic accomplishments. Even though the MARVEL reactor has not yet been completed, he and his team – both superiors and subordinates – consider the program to be a research and development success story. MARVEL is a micro reactor designed to produce 85 kilowatts of thermal energy. Using Stirling engines, it will be able to produce approximately 20 kilowatts of electricity. That’s about the same generating capacity as a whole house generator for a 4,000 square foot American suburban home. The reactor uses uranium-zirconium hydride (UZrH) fuel rods with uranium enriched to less than 20% U-235 (HALEU). They are similar to those used in Triga research reactors. The reactor coolant is NaK (sodium potassium eutectic) that is naturally circulated through the reactor core and the system heat exchangers. The early system design concept included directly-connected Stirling engines to convert reactor heat to electricity. That configuration was proven to be unworkable during a non nuclear thermal testing program called PCAT – Primary Coolant Apparatus Test. The Stirling engines vibrated enough to put the rest of the system at risk of rapid deterioration, so the design was changed to include a secondary, non radioactive NaK loop that then transferred its heat to a tertiary molten salt loop. This choice allows the Stirling engines and the heat conversion system to be placed outside of the building. That design change had the added benefit of making it easier to use the MARVEL reactor system to test various direct heat applications; with the directly mounted engines, it would have been difficult to extract any product other than electricity. A major benefit of a government funded research and development program like MARVEL is that it can provide widely accessible lessons learned. For a variety of commercial reasons, private sector programs are less likely to share what they have learned from their mistakes or dead end choices. Private sector participants can be hesitant to be the first to move, especially in a field where everyone knows that the existing government approval process is a major barrier that needs to be improved. A government funded program has the ability to approach and overcome the barriers without incurring the risk that they are simply making the path easier and smoother for their competitors. The cliche “don’t fight city hall” applies; it’s a somewhat easier battle when you are part of the city hall machinery. Abdalla explained how the MARVEL program leaders are happy to see how later projects are moving more quickly and even passing it to reach certain key development milestones. MARVEL leaders feel like they did their job by helping to exercise and improve the processes of review and approval. The program has also helped to give dozens of engineers more experience in the process of moving component and system designs off of computer screens and into real life fabrication. Numerous entities from universities, governments and the private sector are queuing up to use MARVEL to test various concepts for taking advantage of nuclear fission heat. Some of the potential uses include desalination (especially produced water from oil and gas wells), hydrogen production, micro grids, remote operations and training AI for reactor control. MARVEL is currently scheduled to achieve dry criticality in 2026. It should achieve full power operations in 2028. It is classified as a non capitalized asset, which limits its projected operating life to about 2 years. It has sufficient fuel to last longer if the decision is made to extend it past the two year point. Even if it operates a little longer, the plan is still to have it reach the decommissioning phase quickly enough to serve as a barrier breaker for that important life cycle phase. You are sure to enjoy the show and to learn something in the process.
NSC-68: The Blueprint for Cold War Rearmament GUEST: Nick Bunker Following the 1949 Soviet atomic test, Paul Nitze and Dean Acheson drafted NSC-68, a top-secret strategic document that defined the Cold War struggle. The document portrayed the Soviet threat in the "starkest, grimmest possible terms," identifying 1954 as the "year of maximum danger." To counter Soviet military spending — estimated at 15% of their national output — NSC-68 proposed trebling the U.S. defense budget from $13 billion to $40 billion. Simultaneously, McCarthy targeted Owen Lattimore, an Asia expert, as a "master Soviet agent" to undermine the State Department's policy. While Lattimore was eventually cleared, the political pressure forced the administration into an awkward defensive position. Ultimately, the outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950 "overtook" the measured rollout of NSC-68, leading to the massive military build-up the document envisioned, but in a far more chaotic and urgent manner.

Our next live podcast: Residential real estate trends are redefining Louisville's growth and neighborhoods. Join us for a live Access Louisville recording as we dive into the latest market insights. The event includes networking, breakfast and a spirited discussion of the latest news in our area. Our panel includes: Stacy Durbin, Semonin Realtors, Jakeeva Lee, Greater Louisville Association of Realtors and Jon Mand, Lenihan Sotheby's. Tickets and registration are available here.We have a little bit of everything on this week's Access Louisville podcast. Reporter Olivia Estright tells us about a new 200-home subdivision being built in Jeffersonville, called Kings Crossing. It's being built by Land-Mill Developers Inc. at 4785 Walker Way in Jeffersonville, Indiana, according to listing agent Matthew Henegar. The homes, with functional layouts and high-end finishes, range from $360,000 to $375,000."We can facilitate anybody in that price point from first-time homebuyers to last-time homebuyers," he'd told Estright. That figure is much higher than what this market has seen for starter homes in the past, though it does seem to fit with the nationwide narrative of soring home prices. After that, we go over the latest with former Kentucky Venues CEO David Beck, who was recently ousted from his position in a surprising development.We also chat about Estright's story about an executive at GE Appliances who recently celebrated the seemingly unheard of milestone of 60-years with the same company. And we go over the latest fallout from violence on Bardstown Road, including the news that Atomic is getting its liquor license back with restrictions, a judgement from the state on Baxter's 942 liquor license and a petition that would limit alcohol sales on Bardstown Road.Access Louisville, sponsored by Baird, is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First.

Find out exactly when humanity peaked in this episode of Cranked & Ranked!
Back in the 1950s, facing the threat of nuclear annihilation, federal officials sat down and pondered what American life would actually look like after an atomic attack. They faced a slew of practical questions like: Who would count the dead and where would they build the refugee camps? But they faced a more spiritual question as well. If Washington DC were hit, every object in the the National Archives would be eviscerated in a moment. Terrified by this reality, they set out to save some of America's most precious stuff. Today, we look back at the items our Cold War era planners sought to save and we ask the question: what objects would we preserve now? We first released this episode back in 2020, but with our big fourth of July – 250 years! – just around the corner, we thought it was a strange but profound reflection on what this whole America thing that we're celebrating… actually is.

We chat about recent violence in the Highlands that has resulted from gatherings of teenagers and young adults in the area. Morris tells us what he's hearing from city leaders as well as businesses who want to see the issue addressed. Our partners at WDRB reported that last weekend's violence resulted in nearly 40 citations and 21 arrests. The city has put at least some of the blame on bars in the area.This week Louisville Metro Alcoholic Beverage Control issued an emergency suspension order for Atomic, a Bardstown Road bar and gameyard following a shooting.“We will not tolerate conditions at any establishment that threaten the safety of our community,” Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg said. But, as WDRB reported, Atomic and other bars in the area have pushed back on that characterization, noting that violence isn't being caused by their customers but rather people showing up and walking or cruising the streets.Bardstown Road bars "are being blamed for things occurring off our properties and in the public right of way where we have no control, rather than the bad actors themselves being held accountable for their actions," said Dustin Hensley, co-owner of Atomic Louisville.Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First.

Every physical theory rests on a floor nobody built on purpose. In this livestream, we open the chapter "Atomic Axioms" from our forthcoming book Paradox Lost and lay bare the three assumptions that have always quietly governed how physics constructs its models of matter: that theories require material actors, that physical bodies are volumes with surfaces and locations, and that all action arises from displacement of said bodies. These are not new rules we are imposing, they are the rules that were already running long before a century of sophisticated abstraction buried the lead. We are simply turning on the lights.Pre-order our upcoming book, Paradox Lost: https://buy.stripe.com/7sY7sKdoN5d29eUdYddEs0bPATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-herePARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show#ParadoxLost #quantumphysics #quantummechanics #quantum #atom #physics #PhilosophyMERCH: Rock some DemystifySci gear : https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/AMAZON: Do your shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/3YyoT98DONATE: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaDSUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@UCqV4_7i9h1_V7hY48eZZSLw@demystifysci RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rssMAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySciMUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671

One missing nuclear scientist. One remote forest. One abandoned gun. And somehow that's only HALF of this week's weirdness.First, we head deep into the mystery surrounding a Los Alamos National Laboratory employee who vanished without a trace, only to be discovered a year later in a remote wilderness area. Was it a tragic accident, something more sinister, or the kind of story that immediately makes the internet start drawing red strings across a corkboard? We dive into the strange details, unanswered questions, and why anything involving nuclear research instantly sends conspiracy alarms into overdrive.Then it's time for the future to arrive swinging. Detroit recently hosted a real-life robot fight club where metal gladiators smashed, crashed, and battled for robotic supremacy. It's part sporting event, part science experiment, and part warning label for humanity's eventual machine overlords. From AI-powered combat to flying debris and mechanical mayhem, we're asking the important question: are we witnessing technological innovation or just giving robots practice before they take our parking spaces and our dignity?Missing scientists, battling robots, and enough bizarre headlines to make reality feel like it was written by a sleep-deprived sci-fi author. It's another trip into the wonderfully weird world of Hysteria 51.Links & Resources
The U.S. military has a strong and growing interest in using small and micro nuclear reactors as a means of reducing logistics challenges and improving operational resilience. They like nuclear reactors for their ability to operate independently of the grid for years without needing any new fuel. Almost as important is their ability to be designed to retain byproducts and reduce heat signatures for improved stealth. Dr. Jeff Waksman Is the U.S. Army’s go-to guy for pioneering nuclear energy projects. Though no military-related project can be completed by a single person, program success often rests on the effective leadership provided by a singularly skilled leader who combines organization, inspiration and deep knowledge of how to get things done in a purposely hierarchical system. Before his current role for the Army, Waksman led Project Pele – the military’s first micro-reactor project in 50+ years – for the Department of Defense’s Strategic Capabilities Office. He did well enough at that assignment to have been selected to lead a more expansive program to finally deliver nuclear fission capabilities to bases and units that need clean, reliable power that comes with a low logistics burden. Fission’s characteristics are nothing new and the military’s interest dates to the earliest days of nuclear energy. The political, environmental and strategic situation has changed enough in the 50 years since the Army’s Nuclear Power development program was effectively cancelled to stimulate new efforts to address the economic and technical challenges that were never solved during the 1960s and 70s. Waksman’s current role has the mouthful title of Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (PDASA) for Installations, Energy and Environment (IE&E). Though only one of his responsibilities, he is the Army’s point person for a subsequent reactor development program called Project Janus. Dr. Waksman joined me on Atomic Show #347 to discuss the lessons taught by Project Pele and to provide insights on how those lessons are being incorporated into subsequent programs, both civilian and military. We covered a variety of topics, including: Reasons why he was picked to lead Project Pele Direction provided to the Department of Defense’s Strategic Capabilities Office regarding program outcomes Focus on building systems that work in the real world instead of just more models Challenges of fitting inside tightly constrained boundaries (C-17 transport plane) Limiting components – not surprisingly, it was the heat exchanger that transferred reactor heat from the coolant gas to the power conversion system Importance of balance of plant compared to reactor Streamlining Department of Energy approval process Economic value of competition Economic trade-offs with the potential to make TRISO a more economic fuel than other options Project Pele’s influence on Reactor Pilot Program Project Janus goals and status Stretch goal timeline that includes the first operating reactor supplying a military base by the end of 2028 Expansion of the project beyond the Army to the Air Force and possibly the Navy Unquantified description of the possible magnitude of military reactor program Desire for military reactor program to stimulate a larger commercial reactor market I learned a lot from the show. Dr. Waksman shares valuable experience, including ways to avoid some of the bruises that came with leading the first-of-a-kind project for a modern transportable nuclear reactor and the U.S.’s first nuclear project development project in decades. I hope this show will influence those who follow so that they can make their own mistakes instead of repeating those that have already been made and documented.
Shine Technologies is a unique nuclear fusion company. The conventional path for nuclear fusion projects is to raise and spend billions of dollars and decades of research and development in efforts to successfully find a path over, around or through the technical barriers that have prevented nuclear fusion from becoming a large scale energy production source. Until relatively recently, that path was almost completely dependent on government grants. In cases like the ITER – International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor – the effort has involved tens of billions of dollars (current estimate is $25 B), thousands of scientists, engineers, constructors and technicians and a construction schedule that stretches out over 29 years. The funding partnership includes six individual countries plus the European Union, which is supplying approximately 45% of the budget. Parts and materials for the project are being supplied by 35 different countries. Greg Piefer, Shine Technologies CEO and Founder, chose a different path. He is a technical expert and fusion researcher who was inspired by the same dreams of unlimited fusion energy that drive others to study and work in the field, but he also has a commercial side that knows that investors, even governments, do not have the patience and the depth of resources needed to undertake and successfully complete projects whose characteristics are similar to ITER and don’t produce profits along the way. He knew several known ways to stimulate and control a nuclear fusion reaction. The equipment used to produce those reactions doesn’t work fast enough to produce the energy needed to sustain the reaction and have enough left over to capture and sell to a commercial energy market. They are useful devices for teaching researchers about fusion and they are precise and reliable neutron generators for valuable tasks like remote logging of the materials in oil and gas wells. Piefer’s valuable insight was that neutrons from fusion had special characteristics that could produce commercial value long before the equipment could produce energy at a competitive cost. He and the team that he inspired became convinced that they could create a sustainable path to commercial fusion energy by building, using and refining equipment and techniques that use fusion to produce neutrons for successively larger markets that require ever lower unit costs. They established a four phase development program that remains their guiding development strategy. The first phase sells precise testing and measuring services that use Shine neutron generators where the neutrons supply their material penetrating power. Unlike the gamma rays used in conventional radiography – X-rays for materials and equipment – neutrons penetrate dense materials and are scattered by light elements. The critical nature of the components that benefit from neutron imaging leads customers to pay extraordinary prices for Shine’s specialized services. The neutrons produced by Shine’s imaging fusion devices sell for $100,000 – $1,000,000 per kilowatt-hour of energy released – which is a calculated metric derived from fusion reactions per second per dollar. (Those numbers do not have any misplaced zeros.) The second phase, with a far larger Total Addressable Market (TAM), is medical radioisotope production. Using a process of continuous refinement and practice, Shine has been able to improve its devices to the point where they can profitably enter the market with neutrons that cost the equivalent of $100 per kWh (a factor of 1000 improvement over the first phase) that can be reduced to $20/kWh as the process is scaled up using their NRC licensed Chrysalis facility. That facility, located in Janesville, WI, was carefully sited next door to a regional airport that enables Shine’s medical isotopes to be rapidly delivered throughout the United States and competitively delivered almost anywhere. Chrysalis is expected to be completed within the next two years. As Piefer describes during our conversation, it will be the highest capacity isotope production facility in the world. Piefer also described the invested effort that gives Shine the ability to produce isotopes that meet the stringent purity requirements for medical applications. The company’s radio chemistry skills are being exercised every day as they are already shipping isotopes created in a smaller facility. The third step, which is still in the R&D phase is to use more capable Shine fusion devices that can produce neutrons for about $1/kWh to help recycle used nuclear fuel. During the conversation, we spent quite a bit of time talking about how this application will work. There are some nuances that are worth hearing. The fourth step in the plan is to produce clean energy with a target price for neutrons of about $0.01-$0.02/kWh. That is the dream and the application that unlocks a TAM measured in the trillions of dollars. Here is the company’s distillation of their four phase plan: The framework: value per kilowatt-hour of fusion outputSHINE force-ranks fusion markets by unit economics, not market size — starting with the customers who pay the most per unit of fusion output, and using each market as commercial practice to drive costs down for the next. The metric: fusion reactions per second per dollar, a proxy for cost per kilowatt-hour.The cost curve, by the numbers >$1,000,000 per kWh — what one deployed SHINE fusion system is worth to its customer: it scans every nuclear fuel rod the customer manufactures, and hasn’t skipped a beat since deployment. ~$100,000 per kWh — typical value in the testing market (e.g., neutron imaging of F-35 turbine blade cooling channels that only neutrons can see). ~$100 per kWh — where SHINE had to get costs to make medical isotope production work. ~$20 per kWh — expected for Chrysalis at full capacity, coming online in the next 18–24 months. ~$1 per kWh — the target for spent fuel recycling, feasible because the business stacks four revenue streams: recycling service fees, recycled uranium/plutonium fuel, separated isotopes, and electricity sold at market rates. 10–20¢ per kWh — typical value of electricity, the final market. From recycling, SHINE estimates roughly a factor of 10 remains to put pure fusion energy economically on the grid. Disclosure: Nucleation Capital, the sponsor of Atomic Insights, is an investor in Shine Technologies. We believe their vision and their execution elevates their commercial prospects above a number of companies whose primary selling point is an attractive, but distant dream.

Atomic Eagle CEO Phil Hoskins stated: “Our 2026 goal of increasing Muntanga's Mineral Resource is off to a great start. These initial results from Chisebuka build directly on the Company's early success, which saw a 9.7Mlb uranium resource defined at Chisebuka in a matter of months. Chisebuka's SW zone is now emerging as the next key addition with near-surface higher-grade results outside of the previous resource area and we've only scratched the surface of the planned holes into Chisebuka this year. Drilling is continuing with two rigs aiming to expand the higher-grade zones at Chisebuka whilst at the same time, we are conducting ground radiometric surveys to refine the exciting Namakande and Muntanga North targets.” Hoskins says the company has grown the resource 24% from 47M lbs to 58M lbs and is running a major 30,000-meter drill program, with early Chisebuka holes largely hitting expected mineralization and potential for meaningful satellite resource growth. He outlines larger exploration upside at Muntanga North and Namakande using layered datasets including airborne and ground radiometrics, radon-in-soils, favorable host rocks, and structural targeting. Hoskins discusses expectations for consistent heap-leach metallurgy, progress toward environmental and resettlement approvals, infrastructure advantages, a low-cost option to acquire the Sitwi uranium project, recent board changes, ongoing Niger discussions on Madaouela as option value, and an OTC move from QB to QX. 00:00 Intro 00:26 Project Update Overview 01:21 Chisebuka Drilling Results 03:10 Next Big Targets 03:46 Targeting Methodology 05:07 Metallurgy and Economics 07:06 Zambia Trip Insights 09:34 Sitwi Project Option 11:48 Board and Leadership Changes 13:51 Permitting Status 14:20 Niger Asset Update https://atomiceagle.com.au/ ASX: AEU - OTCQB: AEUXF Press Releases Discussed: https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/AEU/03089414.pdf https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/AEU/03091279.pdf https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/AEU/03083026.pdf https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/AEU/03072398.pdf Sponsor Atomic Eagle pays MSE a United States dollar ten thousand per month coverage fee.

For most of journalism's history, the article has been the atomic unit of news: a fixed container, written once and served the same way to everyone. That's beginning to change. AI is moving out from behind the scenes, where it quietly powered efficiencies, and into the interface itself, where it can assemble, personalize, and adapt the news to each reader.On this week's episode of Newsroom Robots, host, Nikita Roy speaks with Jim Friedlich, Executive Director and CEO of The Lenfest Institute for Journalism, and Kevin Delaney, Editor-in-Chief of The San Francisco Standard. Earlier this year, The Standard became a part of the Lenfest AI Collaborative and Fellowship Program, funded by OpenAI and Microsoft. As part of the program, it received a grant to build a genuinely AI-native news app, where the article isn't the building block anymore. Instead, the raw materials are atomic like a quote, a piece of data, a few lines of reporting, all assembled by AI into an experience that adapts to each reader.

"Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we'll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring. We have Jonn Penney from the band Ned's Atomic Dustbin on the show this week! Few bands captured the restless energy of the early nineties British indie scene quite like Ned's Atomic Dustbin. With their twin-bass attack, amazing live shows, and a debut album that turned heads on both sides of the Atlantic, they burned bright. But, none of that might have happened had Jonn's father not bought a new house. Intrigued? Listen on to hear more. You can buy Jonn's new book "Self-ish" here.

Deployable Energy is a young company with a guiding principle. They believe that nuclear energy should be a product, not a project. Founded in 2025 after a period of intensive study and design work, the company has developed a product branded as the Unity Nuclear Battery (UNB). It’s a 1 MWe (3 MWth) micro reactor whose general features arise from a unique combination of nuclear fuel, reactor coolant and neutron moderator. The choices the company made arise from a desire to move fast using materials that are affordable and available for use today. That criteria requires the materials to be in commercial service from suppliers that can provide a price list or firm quote given delivery terms and conditions. Where appropriate, it also means that the materials are qualified for use in nuclear reactors and for exposure to neutron and gamma flux. Unity Nuclear Battery (UNB) Steps of Utah Capitol Salt Lake City UNB designers determined that they would use regular fuel – uranium enriched to < 5% U-235 and in the form of uranium dioxide (UO2) in sintered pellets mass manufactured by an established vendor. Zirconium alloy tubes separate the fuel from the coolant and moderator and retain fission products that might be released by the ceramic UO2 pellets during and after operation. The heat transfer fluid, more frequently referred to as reactor coolant, is inert helium gas that is blown through the core at high velocity and a pressure of approximately 50 bar (~725 psi). The neutron moderator is water at atmospheric pressure and a temperature that is roughly equal to residential hot water. The reactor vessel that is needed to contain the chosen combination of functional core materials is small enough and light enough to be transported in the back of a short-bed American pick-up truck with a crew cab. A full nuclear heat source system with transportation level shielding will fit into a 20 foot shipping container with a mass of about 20 tons. The additional shielding and physical protection layers added on site will add another 40 tons to the nuclear heat source portion of the system. The system will be shielded with sufficient materials to reduce neutron and gamma radiation to below regulatory standards both during and after operation. The pressurized helium will transfer the heat generated in the reactor to heat exchanger(s) where either water or supercritical CO2 will pick up the helium’s heat for either steam or hot sCO2 production. Steam or sCO2 will go to the balance of plant, which will be housed in a 40 foot transportation container. Depending on application, hot fluids can be used in industrial applications or used to turn turbine generators. The ultimate heat sink is the atmosphere with air coolers mounted on top of the balance of plant container. Many of Deployable Energy’s target customers and applications value low water use. Unity Battery conceptual layout Knowing that permissions required for construction, manufacturing, transportation and operating are key milestones, Deployable Energy began its pre-application engagement with the NRC in October 2025, within months of its corporate founding. The company also began engaging with the Department of Energy regarding its initial demonstration unit. It wasn’t ready to compete for the Reactor Pilot Program, but it was one of four companies selected for the Nuclear Energy Launch Pad, which is the DOE’s follow-on to the foundational Reactor Pilot Program and Fuel Line Pilot Program. Deployable Energy plans to catch up to the Reactor Pilot Program participants and achieve initial criticality by July 4, 2026. To learn more about Deployable Energy and their Unity Nuclear Battery, I talked with Bobby Gallagher, Deployable Energy’s CEO and Chief Technical Officer. Bobby’s background in the Australian military, oil and gas, shipbuilding, offshore development and successful technology start-up founder might seem to be a rather odd path towards designing a product using a nuclear fission heat source, but he explains how he arrived at his current position rather well. During our discussion, Bobby described the decision criteria and process used to determine the UNB’s final combination of fuel, heat transfer fluid and moderator. He provided some of the historical background from other nuclear reactor designs that inspired the decisions. But more of our conversation’s content was on the company’s choices related to manufacturing and deployment. We talked about Deployable Energy’s choice to put the center of its operations in Houston, Texas where the local manufacturing base for vessels, tanks, valves, tubes, skids, and other key components is well established and has been honed and expanded during the past several decades of world-leading “unconventional” oil and gas development. Houston is an energy town with a deep understanding of the value and risks associated with providing power to the population. The city’s residents know how to manufacture, build and heavy equipment and they know how to create and finance innovative companies. We had a fascinating conversation. I’m confident that you will learn something by listening to the show at least once. We no longer accept comments here for a number of reasons, but you can ask questions and make comments to @atomicrod on X.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Tyler Cloutier, founder of Clockwork Labs and creator of SpaceTimeDB. They explore how SpaceTimeDB functions as more than just a database—it's essentially a distributed operating system that merges server logic with data storage, enabling real-time applications and time-travel capabilities. The conversation ranges from the technical architecture of databases and operating systems to the philosophy of distributed systems, touching on everything from Unix and Linux to how SpaceTimeDB could revolutionize AI-generated software deployment. Tyler explains how their system reduces the complexity of building real-time applications, makes deployment simpler for both humans and AI agents, and why games like their MMORPG BitCraft Online drove them to create this new infrastructure. They also discuss the future of the internet, the role of bots in gaming, and how SpaceTimeDB fits into the broader landscape of cloud computing alongside tools like Cloudflare, Vercel, and Docker. For more information, visit spacetimedb.com or check out Clockwork Labs on GitHub and Twitter.Timestamps00:00 Stewart introduces Tyler Cloutier, founder of Clockwork Labs, discussing the origin of SpaceTimeDB's name inspired by Einstein's theory and its time travel capabilities that store all operations indefinitely05:00 Tyler explains SpaceTimeDB as more of an operating system than a database, using tables instead of file systems while running code in a sandboxed environment with full atomic properties10:00 Discussion of how SpaceTimeDB replaces both Node.js and Postgres by merging web server and database functionality, eliminating separate deployment concerns15:00 Tyler explains JavaScript execution through Chrome's V8 engine and JIT compiling, leading to Node.js creation for server-side JavaScript development20:00 Explanation of stateless web servers versus stateful game servers, and why games require in-memory state management for real-time performance25:00 Tyler introduces reducers and real-time subscriptions, questioning why more applications aren't real-time when state changes should update immediately30:00 Discussion of Facebook as essentially a text-based MMO, comparing social media architecture to game server requirements and the need for unified systems35:00 Tyler explains ACID properties in databases: atomic, consistent, isolated, and durable, using game item trading examples40:00 Comparing SpaceTimeDB to smart contract systems without cryptocurrency or global consensus, positioning it as a smart database with centralized trust45:00 Tyler reveals SpaceTimeDB uses 43% fewer tokens than Postgres for AI-generated applications, making it valuable for vibe coding platforms50:00 Conversation shifts to bots in games and proof-of-human concepts, with Tyler proposing biometric systems and discussing potential in-person gaming applications55:00 Closing discussion about tracking AI-driven traffic through UTM parameters and finding SpaceTimeDB at spacetimedb.comKey Insights1. SpaceTimeDB is fundamentally a database that runs application code directly inside it, combining what traditionally required separate systems like Postgres and Node.js. Users compile their application logic into WebAssembly or JavaScript and upload it to run within the database itself. This architecture provides high performance because the entire server backend operates inside the database environment. The system also features time travel capabilities, storing every operation and change to data persistently and indefinitely, allowing users to set application state back to any earlier point in time. This makes SpaceTimeDB more accurately described as an operating system rather than just a database, where the abstraction is that everything is a table rather than a file.2. The inspiration for SpaceTimeDB came from building BitCraft Online, an MMORPG where all players exist in a single persistent world and rebuild civilization together. Traditional MMO backends required complex custom solutions to handle real-time state, with game servers storing state in memory and periodically writing to databases. This complexity existed because games cannot afford the latency of constantly delegating to distant databases like traditional web applications can. SpaceTimeDB solved this by making the database fast enough to handle real-time requirements directly, eliminating the need for separate game servers. This same performance advantage that benefits games also applies to web applications, which is why SpaceTimeDB evolved from a game-specific tool to a general-purpose platform.3. SpaceTimeDB functions as a distributed operating system where each database acts like a process in an actor model system, similar to Erlang or Scala Akka. Databases can send messages to other databases and be spawned across a cluster for horizontal scaling. This represents an overlay operating system running on top of Linux rather than competing with it, providing a distributed abstraction across many machines while Linux handles device drivers and hardware support. The vision is for the cloud to function as a single enormous computer running one operating system, where developers simply publish their programs without managing separate services, deployment, routing, networking, or persistence infrastructure.4. The real-time capabilities of SpaceTimeDB address a fundamental limitation in how most web applications work today. Traditional web servers are stateless, delegating all state to databases and accepting network round-trip latency for each request, which is why users often must refresh pages to see updates. SpaceTimeDB allows queries to be subscribed to, maintaining open connections that stream changes whenever query results update. This makes applications like Discord, Facebook, or banking systems naturally real-time without requiring page refreshes. The historical accident that more things are not real-time represents a problem SpaceTimeDB solves by unifying the web world with the game world's real-time requirements.5. SpaceTimeDB implements ACID properties—Atomic, Consistent, Isolated, and Durable—ensuring database operations are reliable and safe. Atomic means operations either fully happen or not at all, preventing issues like item duplication in games when trading between players. Consistent means declared invariants like unique usernames are always enforced. Isolated means concurrent operations do not interfere with each other. Durable means changes persist even if computers restart, with varying levels from in-memory on one machine to disk storage across multiple geographic locations. These properties are managed through reducers, functions inspired by React Redux that fold changes into application state incrementally.6. For AI and large language models, SpaceTimeDB offers significant advantages in building and deploying applications. Testing showed that creating applications with SpaceTimeDB uses 43% fewer tokens compared to Postgres implementations, costs less, has fewer bugs, and is easier to extend. This matters because the primary cost for vibe coding platforms is tokens. As more software gets written in the next twelve months than ever before, there is insufficient focus on infrastructure required to run all this AI-generated software. SpaceTimeDB positions itself as ideal for LLMs to target because of its simplified deployment model where developers just publish code and the system handles everything behind the scenes.7. SpaceTimeDB can be understood as a smart contract system without cryptocurrency or global decentralized consensus. Like blockchain smart contracts, it executes code with atomic, consistent, isolated, and durable properties, but avoids the expense and slowness of requiring all computers worldwide to agree on everything. Instead, it offers centralized trust where users trust Clockwork Labs not to modify deployed contracts, rather than the trustless but extremely costly blockchain approach. This makes it functionally similar to Cloudflare's durable objects but with full relational database capabilities. The system exists before the networking layer where Cloudflare operates, handling deployment, server, and database functions while Cloudflare could provide DDoS protection in front of it.
There are few industries in the world that have a greater need for skilled communications than the nuclear industry. It’s a challenging technology to understand and to explain to those who are not really interested in the nitty gritty details. There is a significant portion of the industry that believes in silently going about its tasks, partly because there are so many parts of the field that are classified. The influence of the Silent Service is deep and wide within the nuclear sector. There is a growing group that has a different point of view. They bring originality and experiences from outside of nuclear and are not constrained by the traditional tactics. Those newcomers aren’t starting from scratch, however. There are some experienced communicators who also have valuable thoughts and ideas that they are willing to share. Jarret Adams, the founder of Full On Communications, has been professionally explaining the nuclear industry for more than two decades. He has experienced and supported the ups while also figuring out how to respond and adapt to the downs. He started his career as a business journalist. He learned about the nuclear industry during a stint with the Nuclear Energy Institute. While there, he learned the value and the promise of nuclear energy and chose to realign his career to support and defend what was, at the time, a bruised sector with exciting potential for growth and for making positive contributions to humanity. He took advantage of his facility with the French language as he moved over to Areva, which had ambitious plans for international growth during the first phase of the nuclear renaissance that continues today. As prospects for immediate growth diminished as an extended period of low cost natural gas was combined with strongly negative public perceptions caused by the widely publicized damage at TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, Jarret departed from Areva to become the Communications Director in the UAE for an international public relations firm. He was part of the program that enabled the UAE to expeditiously create a capable nuclear industry where there wasn’t one before. Following his time in the UAE, Jarret founded Full On Communications to provide services to a broader and more diverse set of customers in the nuclear industry. We discussed the importance of story telling, the value of purchased media time to enable companies to tell their own stories and the importance of techniques like press releases to keep the public, the press and investors informed about both progress and hurdles. Full On Communications recently celebrated its 10th Anniversary. Jarret and his team have contributed to many of the initiatives and actions that have combined to dramatically change the future prospects for nuclear energy development. They look forward to many more years of growth as the next stage of the nuclear renaissance continues to emerge.

Forty years after Chernobyl, Poland aims to open its first nuclear power plant. Shortly after the disaster, only 30% of Poles supported nuclear power. In 2022, the support hit a record 75%, almost doubling just from the year before, according to public opinion polls. Poland's nuclear revival attempts to solve several issues at once: it will make Poland more energy-independent, especially in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, but it will also help the country move away from coal per the EU's climate policies. That's according to the officials, but what do people living near the new site think about its construction?

In this episode of First Chair, host George Thomas talks with biomechanics expert Lou Rosenfeld about the "Magic of 4 Millimeters." Many skiers spend months trying to fix their stance, but Lou reveals how moving your binding position just a fraction can instantly put you in a balanced, powerful position. We debunk the "Engineer Myth"—the idea that the factory line on your skis is the only place your boots should go. Lou shares insights from his research with Atomic and Nordica to explain how manufacturers actually pick those marks (and why they might be wrong for you). Whether you're a pro instructor or a weekend warrior, learning how to adjust your mounting point can turn an "unforgiving" ski into your favorite piece of gear. In this video, you'll learn: - Why the "ball of foot" method still matters in the age of shaped skis. - How binding placement affects your performance in moguls vs. groomed runs. - Why skiers with smaller feet (including many women) are often mounted too far back. - The "12-minute fix" that can save you 12 weeks of frustration on the hill.

-In a game that featured 2 rain delays---an 1 hour, 5 minute delay before the game even started and another 47 minute delay in the 7 thinning---the story of the day was home plate umpire Andy Fletcher's ‘stomach problems' in yesterday's Tigers/Royals game in Detroit-Fletcher had to run to the dugout earlier in the game and eventually had to leave the game after sprinting to the Tigers dugout to goto the bathroom and not returning….which led to the game going to 3 umps.

Bitcoin's Satoshi drama heats up again as a major journalistic “reveal” drops, just as the crypto industry gets rocked by a quantum computing breakthrough that pulls up security timelines—and AI-powered exploits are suddenly real. We break down Satoshi theories, Blockstream PR whispers, the new quantum risk landscape, Ethereum vs. Bitcoin migration pain, and why your favorite protocols might not be ready for North Korea or superintelligent bug finders. Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week we're joined by Justin Drake, Ethereum Foundation researcher and the internet's favorite quantum attack alarm bell ringer. Things get spicy immediately: the eternal guessing game “Who is Satoshi?” gets a new round of attention as John Carreyrou (yeah, Theranos guy) drops a supposed expose pointing his finger at none other than Blockstream's Adam Back. The crew debates whether this Satoshi story is tired PR, inside baseball, or a genuine existential turning point for Bitcoin culture. Then things escalate: Justin walks us through Google and Atomic's quantum computing breakthrough—a real, validated step forward that potentially pulls the “Q-day” clock up to as soon as 2029. The implications? Bitcoin and Ethereum's security models are suddenly under the gun, and community denial is in full effect. Who's better poised to survive a quantum apocalypse… and is coin burning on the menu for Satoshi's stash? Later, we break down the Drift hack—North Korea's latest state-level heist, featuring IRL social engineering that sounds like Mr. Robot meets Oceans Eleven. Finally, it's an AI arms race: Anthropic's Mythos model is reportedly the most dangerous security researcher ever coded, and it's already quietly hardening corporate fortresses. Panic? Prepare? Both? One thing's for sure—there are no do-overs on the blockchain, so let's get into it.

Freak Family Favorites: The Nuclear Warning That Must Survive 10,000 Years What message would you leave for humans who don't exist yet? In this Freak Family Favorites bonus episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro revisit one of the most haunting questions ever asked: how do we warn future generations about deadly nuclear waste… when language itself may not survive? From radioactive materials with lifespans longer than civilization to eerie “do not enter” messages designed to last 24,000 years, this episode dives into the bizarre world of nuclear semiotics—where science meets psychology, fear, and a little existential dread. Because here's the problem: humans forget. Fast. And what looks like a warning today… might look like buried treasure tomorrow. Also in this episode:For centuries, explorers, missionaries, and locals have described Mokele-Mbembe—a massive, long-necked creature said to roam remote rivers and swamps. A living dinosaur? A cultural legend? Or something stranger? Despite dozens of expeditions, no proof has ever been found… but the stories refuse to die. A listener-requested favorite returns… if you can survive the message. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
