Join us as we go back to 1986 to explore the legendary 'Husbands of River Song' - but not as you've seen it! This time, we have Ernie the fastest milkman in the west, Prince Vultan, and Colin Baker just going along with it. And you thought River Song's story was complicated in the series as it stands! Now we deal with JNT vs comedy, the evil crew of the Hyperion IV, Magnex son of Magnox, Christopher Biggin's nice pouch and the Milton Johns/Colin Jeavons twins. It's a low bar for Damsel. Damsel?? DAMSEL??? In other news, we are pleased to have joined the Direction Point network! Check them out!

We continue our epic quest, reviewing the TIME LORD VICTORIOUS saga. This time we are reviewing the audiobook 'The Minds of Magnox'. We also hear from our friends down under, Dwayne and Philip from the Sirens of Audio Podcast to get their thoughts.

Gwen Parry-Jones is Chief Executive of Magnox Ltd and President of the Nuclear Institute. Gwen was awarded an OBE in 2019 for services to science and technology. Gwen lives on the island of Anglesey in North Wales near Wylfa power station. She also has a passion for horses. She grew up in North Wales and also in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia as her dad went to work there. After a few years of living abroad, she came back home to a boarding school in North Wales which gave her, her independence. Her head teacher, Mr Peacock, was a huge influence and taught her about the importance of every individual having a view and requiring respect. She went to college in Colwyn Bay and then moved to Manchester to read Physics joining the physics undergraduate population – she liked the uniqueness of there not being many female students. She also enjoyed the Manchester city lifestyle. Gwen then went on to do banking and finance in Bangor at a master's level. Following this, Gwen joined the Central Electricity Generating Board at Magnox Wylfa as a reactor physicist. When she first started as a nuclear operator, there were no female changing rooms, toilets or work clothes! Gwen successfully developed her career within the nuclear industry to become the first female station director of Heysham 1 – an achievement she still feels very privileged to have done to this day. The turning point in Gwen's career is when she stopped trying to do everything herself and realised it was okay not to know everything and she believes you really start adding value when you start talking about what you think.

During his time at university Arun continued to work part-time as a healthcare assistant and then a sales assistant and laterally a M&S Operations Assistant. As part of his degree, Arun went to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, a private research university in Troy, New York on an exchange programme with UCL. While out there he volunteered on a design project building a solar powered hot water system for a village in Mexico before returning to UCL to complete a master’s degree in nuclear engineering. During his master’s Arun worked on a research project for a Waste Effluent Plant in Australia for four months and spent two weeks at the University of California, Berkeley on a nuclear innovation bootcamp. In 2016, Arun joined the NDA Nuclear Graduate Programme giving him an overview of the whole nuclear lifecycle before continuing his work with Magnox where he chairs their young person’s network to give young people a voice.

Jack Gritt lives in Gloucestershire with her 2 dogs and is the founding member and former president of Women in Nuclear UK and still works as an advisor and is an executive board member of Women in Nuclear Global. She has 3 children who all live locally to her. In her early years she grew up in Buckinghamshire. She started out her journey by starting an apprenticeship in hairdressing and then at 18 she started her own beauty therapy business for a couple of years. She soon realised this wasn’t for her and then went on to start her first position at Berkeley Nuclear PowerStation as a General Duty Assistant – quite the opposite to her other job! This gave her a real taste for the nuclear industry and realised this was for her. She moved to working within the reactor, and after reading in to the nuclear industry, she realised she needed qualifications to work her way up. She then applied to do an HNC in Physics and Chemistry – the only female at Berkeley on site other than in the admin blocks. After that, she went on to study Mathematics, and is now a chartered Mathematician. Working her way up the grades at Magnox, she continued to work there for seven years. She then went on to work at Jacobs for over nine years. In total, she has 36 years’ experience in the nuclear industry, holding a number of positions including Executive Management, Director of Operations, Programme and Project Management, Transformation and Change Management, Safety Case Management and Performance and Quality. It was in the early years of her career that she formed a passion for encouraging people in the nuclear industry, especially women. She currently sits on the WiN Global Executive Board, is the UK representative on the WiN Global Board as well as retaining a role within WiN UK in a Non-Executive Director capacity. Through these roles Jack believes she can continue to build a future for the nuclear industry and create an environment where women can thrive in this exciting sector which offers endless opportunities.  Jack has championed women in the industry throughout her career, as well as working in her local community as a Councillor and School Governor. She has always had a keen focus on helping women to manage their work/ family balance, remain in employment whilst raising a family and to have the confidence to consider transferrable skills to explore new opportunities. This lifelong passion led her to becoming a founding member of WiN UK and is what continues to drive her commitment today.

In this episode we discuss... Alastair’s personal evolution in the nuclear industry from working with the first Magnox reactor to his position as president at the European Nuclear Society --- A deep dive into the fuel loading process and human factory challenges it poses --- Light water reactors versus gas reactors --- The processes that go into synchronizing turbines to the grid --- The fine-tuned chain reactions necessary to generate steam --- Alastair’s work at the ENS advocating for nuclear and the politics involved --- Improving communications strategies surrounding nuclear safety --- Alastair’s positive outlook on nuclear and its progress towards becoming renewable

In this episode we discuss... How Sue earned her title of “Dame” --- Sue’s background in material science and personal evolution in the nuclear industry --- A deep dive into the UK’s Magnox fuel elements --- The history of nuclear in the UK including its advanced gas coal reactors and its high temperature reactor “Dragon” --- The defamation characteristics and manufacturing routes of reactor clads and challenges Sue worked to resolve --- Dry processes versus wet chemical processes --- The economics and life cycles of waste and decommissioning in nuclear versus other industries --- Modularity and its construction costs --- Sue’s current work at BNFL engaging vendors with constructors

There a risk we won't get new nuclear hooked up to the grid in time to back up renewable energy like wind power. There's an aim to generate 16GWe of new nuclear power by 2030. But experts doubt that's a realistic prospect, with Hinkley Point C years late, and questions over whether investors will risk capital on a proposed plant in Cumbria. And as plans for the future of nuclear power evolve, the legacy of the past also needs to be dealt with. The government's served notice on a £6billion contract to make safe a dozen of the UK's first nuclear sites, dating back to the 1950s. It was the most valuable piece of work ever put out to tender by the government. But the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority gave the job to the wrong consortium. The high court ordered a payout to the rightful winners of £97.3 million in damages. The National Audit Office says the total cost to the taxpayer is upwards of £122 million. The government also has to find someone else to clean up the old Magnox power stations and nuclear research sites. The current contractor, Cavendish Fluor Partnership and the NDA agree the job is far bigger than was made clear, and CFP will down tools nine years early. File on 4 looks at the delays and spiralling costs in decommissioning old power station sites. So just how well is our nuclear industry being managed?
