Becoming a radcon / health physics technician is a great way to get into the nuclear field. It's lucrative as well!

A recent Harvard study links proximity to nuclear plants with increased cancer risk. This isn't new, and the pattern remains: proximity is incorrectly used over modeled dose, correlation is assumed to be

causation, and plausibility is completely ignored.

One common misconception about radiation is the assumption that one can become contaminated due to being irradiated. This is led to fear of things like food irradiation which can bring so much benefit to society.

This is one from way back in the archives. Man that beard was bushy back then!

Would you become a mutant monster from eating from ? In short no. Mutations are part of what radiation does, but not in the way you might think.

How concerned should we be when it comes to from ?

Time to learn about one of my favorite health physics topics: internal dosimetry.

My main takeaway from giving a presentation at : don't be intimidated to give a presentation at a scientific conference, even if you feel like your topic is maybe too simple and basic.

Nuclear waste makes nuclear great!

For decades, the nuclear industry has been ashamed of the slightly used nuclear fuel byproduct of nuclear power production, but this is something we should be proud of. The fact that all of the fuel from decades of constant power production without emitting harmful emissions into the environment or our lungs can be stored on a basketball court for a single nuclear plant is a testament to the greatness of nuclear power

It's been a while since I've made any videos, so I decided to do a nice, simple one while at the Health Physics Society, explaining what a health physicist is.

Nuclear waste (correctly called used nuclear fuel) is something we should be proud of.

The maritime shipping industry is barreling toward nuclear power with little to stop it. Of all presentations, the shipping industry gave the most realistic and clear path toward implementing nuclear power. No pie-in-the-sky outlook or promised ponies. Just facts.

It's strawberry season in Fukushima and I just ate my first fresh fruit from Fukushima while having lunch 6 miles (11 km) south of Daiichi. Honest review: hands down the BEST strawberries I've ever had. So sweet! They're juicy like a peach. I'll be thinking about them for a while.
