Like most controversial topics getting neutral information is difficult.

Over the years the government has conducted surveys of residents and the results depends on whether you are a plaintiff or defendant.

om, no doubt would be a good source about the true radiation risk of nuclear.

I did read in the Tri City Herald recently that several tech companies are looking at being involved in SMR projects to provide reliable baseload power for data centers/AI computing. I think the area would be a good site for these powerplants since residents are used to living around nuclear power.

Some of his analyses are hard for me to understand, but one aspect that was new to me was that it appears cells have evolved some capability for correcting molecular damage to their DNA resulting from radiation. If the exposure dosage is low enough (intensity and/or time) the cells can live within some level of background radiation without issue (i.e., natural selection at work), or survive some level of exposure from a nuclear release, if/ when/ should that occur.
He provides some initial summary info via here:

He is trying to convince people that a proper analysis of the real risks in using nuclear power [including storage] shows they really are much lower than the popular media convey, and that we can logically and realistically relax some of the overly stringent regulations on nuclear plants, provide suitable insurance coverage for any “adverse events”, etc. His other postings explore several aspects of this.

Welcome your thoughts if/when you get a chance to examine this Substack, or at least a few postings therein.

A brilliant film. I haven’t seen Teri Garr yet, I suspect she will be one of the Hollywood celeb cameos, but in any case “The Player” is great.

I can’t imagine any director today making such a nuanced and enjoyable exposé of Hollywood player politics.

You sound great for 78! I hope to be in as good shape then.

Kettlebells are my magic these days. I can put a helluva lot of exercise into 20 minutes.

I am stronger than I was at 20. I no longer have back spasms and I show no signs I will be walking in that fragile hunched over way I see in other 70-something guys.

Easy assembly but still took time—was in no rush between 2.5 & 3hrs. Unpacking was also slow since I checked everything carefully, and that took up some of that time—well packaged. Sturdy & well built for the price. Am 6’1” (old age shrunk 1”?!) and 200-205lbs and it rides smoothly.

78+ and have slowed over past 3 years—each year getting slower. Recently noticed that walking around my 1 acre perimeter (checking low electric fence to keep out other animals and keep mine in when I have one) would wear me out or at least I felt tired!?!?!? I do other exercises every day, but they weren’t really for the legs (the few squats ain’t enough).

Believe this is same model Brian E has…

The idiom was the very first American music idiom, completely original, and Joplin is really the one responsible for it.

The Republicans who did that would spend the rest of their lives in federal prison, and the Republican Party as a whole would be under court (effectively Democrat) supervision for the next 30 years.
