Rachel Maddow follows the reporting on Donald Trump's reckless firing of federal employees who work in the nuclear industry, cleaning up nuclear waste, managing a nuclear power plant, and ensuring the safety of the U.S. nuclear arsenal, and the ridiculous situation of instantly regretting firing nuclear safety personnel but being unable to get in touch with them to rescind the dismissal.

with Brad Friedman & Desi Doyen

The latest cuts in the US Government have been described as a “total farce”. The Trump Administration has reversed the firings of hundreds of employees at the National Nuclear Security Administration, the department tasked with working on the nation's nuclear weapons programs. The cuts were part of a DOGE purge across the Department of Energy. US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking they attempted to walk back the sackings and rehire the workers, but were unable to contact many of them since they'd been cut out of the email network.

How can the legal framework alpine convention help guiding visitors of alpine regions in order to preserve nature? This is what we talk about in this episode with Wolfger Mayrhofer, Deputy Secretary General of the Alpine Convention. In this episode, we also learn more about the genesis and the background of the tourism protocol of the Alpine Convention, which was signed in 1998 by all states among the Alpine Arc as well as the EU. With our speciAlps podcast series, we want to gather knowledge and contribute to the exchange of experiences across the Alps. This project is being implemented by CIPRA International and the Alliance in the Alps network of municipalities. It is made possible by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety & Consumer Protection (BMUV).

Bishop & Taylor explore the disconnect between attempts to remove red tape for house-builders while simultaneously burdening them with ever-greater levels of bureacracy. They also discuss news from a couple of regulatory authorities: the Office of Rail & Road is investigating the deteriorating performance of National Highways; and the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) is on EDF's case after a series of safety failings at its power plants.

From the Schrecksee lake in the Allgäu region of Germany to Hallstatt in Austria or Villnöss in Italy: the natural environment, local culture and geographically diverse habitats are the major attractions of mountain areas. In many destinations, tourist numbers are growing rapidly, which in turn puts pressure on local infrastructures, the environment and the population. We have dedicated our fourth podcast episode to the important topic of carrying capacities in mountain tourism. The term “carrying capacity” describes the number of tourists that a destination can manage. It is used in several disciplines and in everyday language. The podcast can be listened to in either Italian or English. With our speciAlps podcast series, we want to gather knowledge and contribute to the exchange of experiences across the Alps. This project is being implemented by CIPRA International and the Alliance in the Alps network of municipalities.

How can visitors to sensitive natural areas in the Alps be encouraged to behave responsibly without either prohibitions or financial incentives? The role of behavioural psychology in this field was discussed by some 150 participants in the webinar entitled “Nudging in Alpine Tourism”, held in September 2023. The webinar “Nudging in Alpine Tourism” is part of the project speciAlps Podcast “Guide visitors, preserve nature” and at the same time the topic of the third podcast episode. This can be listened to in either German or English. This project is being implemented by CIPRA International and the Alliance in the Alps network of municipalities.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Nuclear safety/security: Why doesn't EA prioritize it more?, published by Rockwell on August 31, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. I'm dissatisfied with my explanation of why there is not more attention from EAs and EA funders on nuclear safety and security, especially relative to e.g. AI safety and biosecurity. This has come up a lot recently, especially after the release of Oppenheimer. I'm worried I'm not capturing the current state of affairs accurately and consequently not facilitating fully contextualized dialogue. What is your best short explanation? (To be clear, I know many EAs and EA funders are working on nuclear safety and security, so this is more so a question of resource allocation, rather than inclusion in the broader EA cause portfolio.) Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org

This is the second episode of the speciAlps Podcast series “Guiding visitors, preserving nature experience”. If you speak French, feel free to change to the French language version of this podcast here: (https://soundcloud.com/cipra_international/61-fr-repenser-le-dernier-kilometre-mobilite-douce-dans-les-alpes-specialps-podcast) Visitor management starts at home with transport playing an important role. Taking the car not only leads to traffic chaos but we also leave a huge carbon footprint. We can reduce both by travelling with public transport. Sometimes, this can be challenging for the passengers, especially when it comes to the famous last kilometer of the journey. Last year, Louis Didelle started a project called L'Escarpade in the French alpine town Grenoble. He says: “Our principal objective was to raise awareness on soft mobilities and to show, that access to mountains doesn't have to be by car only.” It's a community project to redefine access to the mountains and offer a sustainable alternative to the car with a sporty approach. Our second interview partner for this podcast is Antoine Pin, head manager of Protect our Winters France. He talks about the availability of information on public transportation in the Alps and gives recommendations on how to become active yourself. Preview of the further episodes: Episode 3 - Nudge visitors (November 2023) Where is nudging used in visitor management and what forms does it take? How effective is it for sustainable tourism in the Alps? This podcast is based on a public webinar on 21 September 2023. Registrations are open until 20th September. Episode 4 – Defining and applying carrying capacities (January 2024) How many visitors can a destination handle and how to apply limits?

Brandon Munro, CEO of Bannerman Energy, joins us to consider the impact on the uranium and wider nuclear sector of the Russia-Ukraine war as it continues into a second year. Munro sees a bright future for the uranium sector and also talks about the prospects for an expansion of nuclear in Africa and why he sees the Cameco-Westinghouse deal as a good thing, and one which gives more backing for the idea of nuclear energy being part of green taxonomies.And what about those people who are opposed to nuclear energy? Is it possible to change minds? Munro, who has around 20,000 followers on Twitter (@brandon_munro) says that conversations are key - in his experience once people know the facts they tend to be in favour.Never before has one country's military occupied another country's nuclear power plants.

From the alpine plateau to the wild river in the mountains: How can visitor flows be managed in a meaningful way? What are the problems involved? How and by whom could they be solved? Four pilot regions sought answers to these questions in the speciAlps 2 project. The current CIPRA podcast reports. Where a few decades ago there were still lonely valleys with mystical waterfalls and crystal-clear mountain lakes, today cars are jammed on access roads and visitors get in each other's way looking for the next insider tip. In some areas of the Alps, pictures like these are unfortunately part of everyday life. Four pilot regions in the Alps have set themselves the goal of changing this: The Tiroler Lech Nature Park/A, the Kamnik and Savinja Alps/SL, the mountaineering village of Balme/I and Bad Reichenhall/D. They developed measures to manage the growing number of visitors. In the CIPRA podcast the coordinators of the pilot regions talk about problems and approaches to solving them. They talk about what politics, tourism, regional development and other decision-makers can do to ensure that nature and visitors benefit equally. This current episode of the CIPRA podcast was produced by the Alliance in the Alps network of municipalities. What can visitors themselves do to protect sensitive natural areas? This was the subject of the CIPRA podcast episode "How to protect the Alps with your behaviour": https://soundcloud.com/cipra_international/specialps2-code-of-conduct Both podcasts were produced as part of the speciAlps 2 project on visitor management. CIPRA International coordinated the project together with the Alliance in the Alps network of municipalities with financial support from the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV).

Coffee with Samso Episode 161 is all about uranium. Orpheus Minerals Limited (ASX: ORP) is currently completing their Initial Public Offer which will close on the 25th November 2022.   Simon Mitchell , the Managing Director of Orpheus Minerals Limited (ASX: ORP) shares his thoughts on a sector that rarely makes an appearance in recent media coverage. Simon has extensive experience in the uranium sector and he gives a great summary of why Orpheus is on a path that is now just getting some attention.   Uranium has been a dirty word for a while and the last major market interest of substance was as far back as 2006. There was some interest a couple of years back but that was very short lived.   In this episode we focused on the Orpheus projects and what the market sentiment will be for uranium. We had a discussion of the two major styles uranium geology. This is a great episode for new investors to get some sort of an understanding on the roll-front and unconformity style uranium deposits.   There was a discussion on the market and why the future for uranium looks bright. Orpheus has also selected project in two Australian states that have good uranium mining policies. Those that are looking for exposure in this sector should give Orpheus minerals a good looking as they have two of the main points I always look for in a company, a good project and an even better management.   Check out the management team and you will find that there is a great wealth of experience in uranium space. This is very rare. There are not many uranium exploration companies that have a stable of uranium experience like Orpheus Minerals Limited.   Chapters   00:00 Start 00:20 Introduction 01:23 Introduction to Simon Mitchell 02:38 Why Australia for Uranium? 03:37 Australian Uranium Province 05:47 The Orpheus Paleo-Channel Projects 06:15 The Orpheus Northern Territory Projects 06:43 The Frome Project 07:53 The Two major Styles of Uranium Geology 08:56 The Paleo-Channel / Roll-Front Uranium Style 10:51 Do Paleo-Channel Uranium Projects occur together? 12:53 The Cooking Pot - Mineral System of Uranium Mineralisation 13:56 Phosphate as a Uranium Pathfinder Mineral 15:17 The Unconformity Uranium Geology 20:08 Geological Unconformity Explained 21:06 The Covid Unconformity Example 21:25 Why is Uranium going to be in Focus? 26:33 Where is the Uranium Discussion Now? 27:44 Whats the Global Nuclear Point of View? 32:34 What is the progress of Nuclear Safety? 34:46 Great Advancement of Safety in the Nuclear sector. 37:09 The Orpheus IPO Progress 38:04 Key takeaway from Simon Mitchell 38:39 Key management of Orpheus Minerals Limited 40:26 Conclusion

Lydie Evrard (https://www.iaea.org/about/organizational-structure/department-of-nuclear-safety-and-security/deputy-director-general-of-department-of-nuclear-safety-and-security) is Deputy Director General and Head of the Department of Nuclear Safety and Security at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Ms. Evrard's department focuses on the protection of people, society and the environment from the harmful effects of ionizing radiation, whether the cause is an unsafe act or a security breach, and her team aims to provide a strong, sustainable and visible global nuclear safety and security framework. Her department was created in 1996 as a response to the Chernobyl nuclear accident. Prior to joining the IAEA, Ms. Evrard held the role of Commissioner at the French Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN). Ms. Evrard started her career in the field of engineering, joining the French Ministry of Energy as an engineer and she has worked extensively in the regulatory field over the last 25 years in positions including as Unit Head at the Industry, Research and the Environment Direction of France's Ministry of the Environment (Paris Region); Deputy Head of the Paris Region Division of the Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN) and subsequently Head of the Authority's waste, decommissioning, fuel cycle facilities, research facilities and contaminated soils remediation Department.

Humanity's survival is at increasing risk of a global catastrophic nuclear event because the dominant strategy for preventing the use of nuclear weapons has not adapted to today's threats. This talk with Joan Rohlfing and Carl Robichaud explores pathways to a better, safer nuclear future, one where humanity's existence and flourishing no longer hangs in the balance, and one that relies on an effective system for managing nuclear technology into the long future – a new nuclear paradigm -- that can't cause a civilizational catastrophe if it fails.  Finally, it makes the case for why the EA community should prioritize reducing global catastrophic nuclear risks and describes how it can contribute to safeguarding the long-term future.This talk was taken from EA Global: London 2021.

More and more people are attracted to the Alps as a recreational area. The pressure on nature is increasing, visitor guidance and a sensitive behavior during their stay is crucial for fauna, flora and people itself. How can a comic inspire to leave no trace behind? What happened in the Berchtesgaden National Park after a well-known influencer posted about the natural infinity pool at the Königsbach Falls? And how are influencers raising awareness against littering in nature? An audio trip through the Alps. This podcast was produced in the frame of the Alpine-wide project speciAlps2, in which four pilot regions (Tiroler Lech Nature Park/AT, Kamnik-Savinja Alps/SL, Mountaineering village Balme/IT and Bad Reichenhall/DE) are testing measures to guide visitors. The project is supported by CIPRA International and the Alliance in the Alps network of municipalities. It is made possible by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV). You can find good practices for successful visitor guidance at specialps2.cipra.org and more information on the project at www.cipra.org/en/specialps2.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Some AI Governance Research Ideas, published by MarkusAnderljung, Alexis Carlier on the AI Alignment Forum. Compiled by Markus Anderljung and Alexis Carlier Junior researchers are often wondering what they should work on. To potentially help, we asked people at the Centre for the Governance of AI for research ideas related to longtermist AI governance. The compiled ideas are developed to varying degrees, including not just questions, but also some concrete research approaches, arguments, and thoughts on why the questions matter. They differ in scope: while some could be explored over a few months, others could be a productive use of a PhD or several years of research. We do not make strong claims about these questions, e.g. that they are the absolute top priority at current margins. Each idea only represents the views of the person who wrote it. The ideas aren't necessarily original. Where we think someone is already working on or has done thinking about the topic before, we've tried to point to them in the text and reach out to them before publishing this post. If you are interested in pursuing any of these projects, please let us know by filling out this form. We may be able to help you find mentorship, advice, or collaborators. You can also fill out the form if you're intending to work on the project independently, so that we can help avoid duplication of effort. If you have feedback on the ideas, feel free to email researchideas@governance.ai. You can find the ideas here. Our colleagues at the FHI AI Safety team put together a corresponding post with AI safety research project suggestions here.

Saralyn Thomas is a Senior Consultant for Nuclear Safety working for Abbott Risk Consulting (ARC) in Newbury and Vice-Chair of the Nuclear Institute's Young Generation Network looking after International Liaison, including COP-26. Saralyn lives just outside Oxford and in her free time likes to bake and share the cakes that she's baked! She went to Amman Valley School in Carmarthenshire South Wales and was part of the school choir and chemistry club. She really loved school and got stuck into everything taking an extra-curricular GCSE in Russian during her A-levels! – she got in trouble with her mother for this at the time as she was worried she was taking on too much work. Saralyn then went to study Physics at the University of Bristol which she struggled with and found it was a big jump from school. She then went on to do a masters in Nuclear Science and Technology at Manchester and during that time she did a placement at NNL which took her into their laboratory – this was where she realised her passion for nuclear and enjoyed it a lot more than her university degree. Saralyn then took a role in Orano in nuclear safety as a Safety Assessor. After a couple years of working at Orano, she picked up three hats – one in safety cases, one as an Account Manager, and one in waste management using a process for making decisions. She recently joined Abbott Risk Consulting undertaking HAZIDs and safety assurance for defence as she knew this was a good place to work in Safety and liked the good connection with the YGN. Saralyn is also Vice chair of the YGN which she really loves – some of her best memories over the last 5 years have been at YGN and she has made friendships and relationships for life in being a part of it.
