Hopping on to say I'm Incredibly proud of our team today!

Do not lose sight of this

#Onthisday in 1969, the Zero Power Physics Reactor started up. This low-power reactor provided physics data for EBR-II and other fast neutron spectrum reactors. #70yearsofINL

Haiku version for #HaikuPoetryDay: Why "market" cash comp? "Our options and mission rule" Your team must believe

Critically important point.

@AmSciMag Interesting graphic, but need to include water use for all sources, including hydro, solar, and wind.

How are we going to overcome the #energy-#water feedback loop in a warming, increasingly crowded world? americanscientist.org/article/energy… #climatechange #FastestPathToZero

These two have done a ton to help advanced nuclear. Well deserved and congratulations!

@JasonRedd76 I understand your frustration. Maybe some nighttime yard work and trimming is next?

@jakedewitte 1/2 Current mood: Checking the fluids in the minivan. Coolant level looks good 👍🏻

Auburn was just robbed by a missed call. I don’t know what the right answer is but we need to figure out a review system so that these kinds of things don’t affect game outcomes.

Also reminds me how thankful I am that really large doses of ionizing radiation will sterilize pretty much everything. Might want to explore that more often for decontamination purposes.

This really illustrates the need for advances in probiotics. nytimes.com/2019/04/06/hea…

But he's often wrong about advanced reactor technologies

If you see Ed Lyman quoted in an article about nuclear it's most likely he is wrong on most or all accounts. He is anti-nuclear, has little technical credibility, and should not be given a platform as an expert by media organizations. Please do better journalists!

(all of this has been done and demonstrated before by the way)

Recent quote on fast reactors is wrong on all accounts. They actually can offer superior economics, safety, and security. Oh, and they can recycle waste. That's a pretty powerful combination and value proposition.

@jm_desp Absolutely. That was egregious.

@jakedewitte On the other hand, some people are much worse than him. Kate Brown recently on the guardian was outrageous theguardian.com/commentisfree/… She apparently didn't notice she's an historian, so has no competence to review medical studies (and assert they say the opposite of what they do)

@nuclearkatie They often have nothing to say. An all too common reality of executive culture, especially in industries like this.

Like I know your company gave a lot of money so you were given the "honor" of being forced to write and/or give this speech but please... say something. Anything, really

My favorite talent of big executives is the ability to speak for many minutes and yet manage to say.... nothing

@NickVise Have to disagree on that one, many APIs treat that as coordinates information, far more efficient to put it in the appropriate field so APIs read that to a phone call.

@jakedewitte False. Phone numbers belong in the location field for convenience.

Observation: you can use smart links on conference call invites that take you right to the conference call. Also, phone numbers are not a location, better to enter them elsewhere on a calendar invite.
