Barry Brook is moving!

Short hiatus (gone south…)

by Barry Brook
Well, it's come at last -- I'm currently in the throes of my move (southwards retreat!) to Tasmania. Such is the upheaval involved in a large inter-state move (from the mainland to an island, no less!) that I will be unlikely to be in a position to post any new material on the BNC blog for a few weeks. But be assured, once I'm settled in my new deep-austral abode, I should once again be able to give due attention to this domain!
Destination: southern Tasmania!
In the meantime, a few interesting things to read, in case you've not already caught these:
  1. Think we'll ever run out of nuclear fuel? Think again... http://www.journalogy.net/Publication/50514377/nuclear-fission-fuel-is-inexhaustible
  2. Prescription for the Planet book is now FREE (the whole book as one PDF): http://www.thesciencecouncil.com/pdfs/P4TP4U.pdf
  3. "Technical rationale for metal fuel in fast reactors" -- read this to better understand why the IFR offers such outstanding benefits for sustainable energy. Despite the title, it's actually quite readable (!), and lots of useful diagrams: http://www.kns.org/jknsfile/v39/JK0390161.pdf?PHPSESSID=2d3b18b9d415e3c564b40853e16fe3d7
  4. The Australian Academy of Technology Sciences & Engineering has released an action statement on nuclear power. There is also a WNN editorial that discusses it in some detail.
See you when I get to the other side of 'The Ditch'!
