Podcasts about reactors

A round-up of the main headlines in Sweden on September 19th, 2025. You can hear more reports on our homepage www.radiosweden.se, or in the app Sveriges Radio. Presenter/Producer: Kris Boswell.

Claire Lerner joins me to talk about how we can best support “big reactors” — highly sensitive children who experience the world with heightened intensity, passion, and emotion.   Together we explore:   Why trying to “change” a child often backfires — and why shifting our own approach can spark real change. How to recognize when your child's explosive behavior is driven by overwhelm, rigidity, or a need for control. The difference between masking and thriving, and why kids may act very differently at home than at school. What it means to be your child's “rock” during meltdowns and how to hold limits without fueling the fire, How to create structure and predictability that helps sensitive kids feel safe and more flexible. Why consistency matters more than quick results — and what to expect before things get better. Practical, real-life strategies for navigating transitions, setting boundaries, and reducing daily battles.   Whether you're parenting a highly sensitive child or you just want to strengthen your connection and reduce the chaos at home, this conversation will give you validation, hope, and tangible tools to help your child — and your whole family — thrive.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

In this episode of State of the Arc, Jason Becker breaks down four major developments reshaping the welding industry right now. First, we look at the surge in government-funded nuclear projects and the increased demand for welders trained to ASME and NAVSEA standards. Then we shift to the revival of domestic steelmaking and how reshoring and infrastructure funding are fueling new opportunities for structural welders. In segment three, Jason covers the industry-wide push for low-hydrogen practices — from rod ovens to procedure control — and why welders need to pay closer attention to hydrogen cracking. Finally, we dig into ongoing supply chain issues affecting exotic filler metals like Inconel, Hastelloy, and duplex stainless, and how this is impacting bids, project timelines, and QA/QC expectations. As always, we close out with the Welding History Fact of the Week — this time featuring the precision TIG work behind the St. Louis Gateway Arch.

This week, Energy Voice Out Loud (EVOL) looks at the UK's spending review as Scottish energy secretary Gillian Martin says "we need more welders", and a former oil worker writes to Nigel Farage for support.  First up, the EVOL trio of Aberdeen features lead Ryan Duff, reporter Mat Perry, and E-FWD editor Ed Reed discuss Westminster's support for Acorn. It finally happened, the UK government committed to stumping up cash for the Acorn and Viking CCS projects, however, its spending review document was a little light on details. It's worth noting that after this week's recording session, Ed Miliband appeared in Peterhead to announce £200m for Acron. Next up, news editor Erikka Askeland spoke with Gillian Martin about the importance of welders in the energy transition as the first cohort of learners on a welding and fabrication pilot training scheme graduated as part of a £100,000 program funded by Ocean Winds. Finally, we discuss Reform UK and its support for nuclear (which seems to be aligned with Labour's love of reactors) and its disdain for turbines. However, when Reform gets into power, is it really as against the "utter madness" of net zero as leader Nigel Farage lets on?  

Send us a textWelcome to your daily dose of blunt-force intel. On this episode of Ones Ready, Peaches breaks down the 12 June Ops Brief with the same energy as a pissed-off NCO finding unbloused boots. From nuclear microreactors to E-7 program death rattles, and shady F-35 budget slashings, this rundown covers everything the Pentagon tried to slip under the radar.Oh, and did we mention Air Force One is getting a facelift from Qatar... and no one will say what it costs?This one's for the operators, the policy nerds, and the junior troops trying to make sense of senior leader decisions that sound like they were made during an Ambien trip.From partisan posturing to microreactor hype, this episode has one foot in the future and the other on a Congressional landmine. Grab your coffee and prep for turbulence.

On a sunny summer day in 2007 near Wichita, Kansas, a tanker truck was offloading naphthalene into a stainless-steel tank at a solvent tank farm when the container spontaneously ignited, catching fire and exploding, shooting projectiles in the air. This led to the evacuation of thousands in a nearby community. While there were no casualties, the explosion destroyed the entire storage facility, luckily not causing any injuries or fatalities in the nearby community.  An investigation determined that electrostatic charge buildup had caused a spark that ignited a solvent-air mixer in the vapor space in the vessel receiving naphtha from the tanker truck. In this episode, Traci Purdum, CP's editor-in-chief, reads an article from authors Tom Patnaik and Christian Stentzel -- both of Thaletec. The article was published May 21, 2025.

Nuclear power is experiencing a notable revival in policy circles. The Trump administration has moved quickly on this front, drafting executive orders to accelerate plant construction, directing the Pentagon to explore reactor installations on military bases, and reshaping the regulatory landscape. A recent $900 million solicitation for small modular reactors (SMRs) has been modified to emphasize technical merit and streamline deployment.But can America's nuclear renaissance actually deliver? Traditional nuclear plants remain staggeringly expensive—the recent Vogtle reactors in Georgia arrived seven years late and $35 billion over budget (the kind of numbers that make even venture capitalists nervous). A dozen startups are betting smaller, modular designs can slash costs and deployment times, but they face the triple threat of regulatory uncertainty, NIMBY resistance, and an energy market still obsessed with quarterly returns. Yet the alignment of energy security needs, climate goals, and now AI's voracious power requirements creates a potential inflection point for nuclear technology.Joining us to explore these questions are Ed Petit de Mange, Director of Fuel Recycling at Oklo, whose next-generation microreactors can operate on recycled nuclear fuel; Patrick O'Brien, Director of Government Affairs at Holtec International, bringing decades of industry experience to the SMR revolution, Kathleen Nelson Romans, Head of Commercial Development at Aalo Atomics, whose compact reactors aim to serve rapidly deployable off-grid and microgrid applications, and Emmet Penney, energy writer and Senior Fellow at FAI, who provides critical context on nuclear's role in our energy transition.

Jay Yu, President of Nano Nuclear Energy (NNE), joins Caroline Woods at the NYSE set to talk about the company's growth in nuclear power. He says the company is "coming to life" on creating micro reactors and is taking key steps to profitability. He also talks about how President Trump's executive orders meant to expedite the process on nuclear power plants applies to Nano Nuclear Energy. Jay notes A.I. acceleration as a prime tailwind when it comes to demand.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Fusion energy, potentially a fuel source that could last a thousand years, is transitioning from science fiction to business reality. Helion Energy recently signed the first fusion power purchase agreement with Microsoft, promising 50 megawatts by 2028. But the story isn't just about the physics breakthroughs that make fusion possible. The U.S. and China are tussling for global leadership in fusion, as is the case in so many fields. And as China is outspending the US on fusion research by about $1.5 billion annually, concerns mount that they could make a serious challenge to America's lead in fusion. After all, while the US pioneered advances in clean energy technologies like solar panels and EVs, America ultimately lost manufacturing leadership to China.With fusion, the stakes could be much higher, given that fusion has the potential to be the world's "last energy source," with significant economic and national security implications. Evan is joined by Sachin Desai, General Counsel at Helion Energy and former Nuclear Regulatory Commission official, and Thomas Hochman, Director of Infrastructure Policy at FAI. They discuss the technical, regulatory, and geopolitical dimensions of what could be this decade's most consequential technology race.

As the demand for clean energy and the push for decarbonization intensify, there's a renewed focus on large-scale nuclear reactors in the United States. In this episode, host Dave Whithead sits down with Dr. Luca Oriani, President of Long-Term Operations at Westinghouse, a company that has been leading nuclear power innovation for over a century. Dr. Oriani shares insights into the latest advancements in nuclear technology, the challenges and successes of the AP1000 reactors, and the future of nuclear power in the United States, globally, and potentially beyond.

My guest today is Ravi Gupta. Ravi is a Partner at Sequoia Capital and a host on Glue Guys, a podcast on the Colossus network that intersects business and sports. I wanted to have him back on Invest Like the Best to discuss his recent most recent blog post titled “AI or Die.” As both an investor and former Instacart operator and CFO, Ravi believes we're entering an era where the constraints that historically limited small teams are dissolving, creating unprecedented opportunities for those willing to embrace change aggressively. We discuss why traditional metrics of corporate success like headcount and process adherence may become liabilities, what it means to be a world-class reactor vs predictor, and how "magic per employee" and organizational agility will emerge as crucial measures of value creation.

An agreement has been concluded to renew the Generation IV International Forum, which aims to build on its first 25 years of sharing research and development on innovative nuclear reactor designs. In this episode, William D Magwood IV, Director-General of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency, which supports GIF as its Technical Secretariat, explains how the forum came about, how it works, what the key achievements have been so far and what the hopes for the future are.He says that originally it was expected to be governments and government laboratories taking the lead, but now the private sector is doing it "which is very energising and very exciting". He says a key priority is to facilitate private sector success in the deployment of these technologies, albeit with challenges from working with IP issues across the private and public sector, and looks ahead to some lead countries demonstrating how these technologies can be regulated effectively.All in all, he believes that the future for nuclear energy "is brighter than it's probably been in history".In the World Nuclear News round-up Claire Maden reports on what we know so far about the impact on the nuclear sector from the return to the White House of US President Donald Trump, while Warwick Pipe has an update on the French nuclear power programme, following the Flamanville EPR's long-awaited connection to the grid.Key links to find out more:World Nuclear NewsGen IV International ForumClimate and energy in Trump's Day One executive ordersFrench auditor warns of challenges for EPR2 programmeFrance's Flamanville EPR starts supplying powerEmail newsletter:Sign up to the World Nuclear News daily or weekly news round-ups via our websiteContact info:alex.hunt@world-nuclear.orgEpisode credit:  Presenter Alex Hunt.

Sponsor: U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs Biorepository Brain Bank Today's episode of PTSD and Beyond is proudly sponsored by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Biorepository Brain Bank, dedicated to advancing research on brain disorders that impact Veterans. The VABBB is seeking participants both with and without neurological conditions. Your involvement can lead to important breakthroughs and support life-changing research. Visit www.research.va.gov/programs and click on VA Biorepository Brain Bank In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, we dive into how rumination and reactors—those moments when we feel stuck or overwhelmed—impact our mental health and how mindfulness can help us move through them. We also explore the importance of grounding, self-compassion, and the post-care phase. Key Topics: What is Rumination? Exploring the loop of repetitive thoughts, especially in relation to trauma, and how it activates the brain's default mode network (DMN). Understanding Reactors: Shifting from "triggers" to "reactors" to help create more space between us and our emotional responses. The Role of Self-Compassion: Practical ways to validate yourself when a reactor is activated, and how to use grounding exercises to regulate emotions. The Science Behind Grounding: Walking barefoot activates over 200,000 nerve endings in your feet, which helps calm the nervous system and reduce stress. Post-Care Phase: After a reactive experience, nurturing yourself is crucial for restoring balance and promoting long-term resilience. Mindfulness Exercise: We close with a guided mindfulness exercise designed to help us anchor in the present moment, validate ourselves, and practice self-compassion, especially when feeling overwhelmed by rumination or reactors. Through self-awareness and preparation, we can recognize that we're not only there for ourselves but also there for one another. By staying connected and mindful, we strengthen our ability to navigate challenges together. And remember, we're better together, we're stronger together, and take what resonates and GO BEYOND!

Koroush Shirvan, an MIT professor and consultant on recent major reports on nuclear economics, sheds light on the hidden costs of small modular reactors. Lower power densities, ballooning containment and reactor vessel sizes, poor economies of scale, and missed opportunities for cost reductions mean that SMRs may not be the panacea for nuclear that many believe them to be.

In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup, the host, Stuart Turley discusses several key topics: the U.S. has opened applications for $900 million in funding for small nuclear reactors, emphasizing the need for increased nuclear power to combat climate change despite regulatory challenges. The UK is investing £21.7 billion in carbon capture technology, but experts question its effectiveness amid rising energy prices. Additionally, M&A activity in the U.S. shale patch has declined to $12 billion, with major players shifting from buyers to sellers. Finally, the IEA suggests that we are approaching an "age of electricity" as fossil fuel demand peaks, though Turley critiques the agency's credibility and the current viability of green energy solutions.Highlights of the Podcast00:00 - Intro00:58 - US opens applications for $900 million for small nuclear reactors03:00 - The UK's £21.7 Billion Carbon Capture Gamble04:33 - U.S. Shale Patch M&A Declines In Q3 To $12B05:50 - Age of electricity' to follow looming fossil fuel peak, IEA says07:48 - OutroPlease see the links below or articles that we discuss in the podcast.US opens applications for $900 million for small nuclear reactorsThe UK's £21.7 Billion Carbon Capture GambleU.S. Shale Patch M&A Declines In Q3 To $12B'Age of electricity' to follow looming fossil fuel peak, IEA saysFollow Stuart On LinkedIn and TwitterFollow Michael On LinkedIn and TwitterENB Top NewsEnergy DashboardENB PodcastENB SubstackENB Trading DeskOil & Gas Investing In 2024– Get in Contact With The Show –

The Chinese Communist Party claims it has made new breakthroughs in its push to develop fusion energy. The reactors are envisioned as the next generation of nuclear technology. But at the same time, the new developments may not be what they seem, and China is currently outspending the United States on the race to develop fusion energy. But some of the money is coming from an unlikely source. We'll discuss all this in this episode of “Crossroads.” *Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.    ⭕️

In this podcast, Ross Rosenberg, M.Ed, LCPC, CADC, discusses Codependent Threshold Reactors as a type of codependent personality characterized by intense emotional reactions and a tendency to overreact to perceived threats or slights. They often have a hair-trigger temper, quickly becoming angry and defensive when their boundaries or needs are unmet. This can lead to explosive outbursts, hurtful words, and damaging behavior. In relationships, Threshold Reactors may become overly attached and clingy, seeking constant validation and reassurance from their partner, which can create a toxic cycle of codependency. A fascinating topic! Support the Show.

In the early days of nuclear power uranium was thought to be a critically rare mineral. Nuclear engineers sought to solve this problem with a special type of reactor that produced more fissile material than they consume. Nick Touran joins me to discuss and explore the long term sustainability of nuclear power.

Workers in Japan started releasing treated radioactive water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean on Thursday. Reactors at the plant began melting down after a 2011 earthquake and tsunami that hit the area. To stop the meltdown, plant workers flooded the reactors with water. But even now, when the plant is offline, the reactors need to be cooled. All that water—about 350 million gallons—is being stored on-site in over 1,000 tanks. And now, these tanks are almost full. Today on the show, host Regina G. Barber talks to NPR reporters Geoff Brumfiel and Kat Lonsdorf about the official plan for the radioactive wastewater, the science behind the release and why some are unhappy about it.
