ferris wheel 202x201The 268th Nuclear Energy Blog Carnival is being held this week here at the ANS Nuclear Cafe.  Each week, the world's top English-language pro-nuclear bloggers and authors contribute their top posts of the week, which are gathered at one of the blogs on a rotating basis.  Let's get to it!

 

 

Robert Hayes - Science 2.0  A look at the functioning of the common and popular Geiger-Muller detector - a device for detecting and measuring radiation.

Gail Marcus - Nuke Power Talk   The history and meaning of "Energy Independence," on an Independence Day weekend post!

Rod Adams - Atomic Insights   Will North Anna 3 end up being the lead plant for the ESBWR design?

Dan Yurman - Neutron Bytes    Nuclear News Roundup for July 6, 2015  Also, see here for a post about very late developments on an ESP (Early Site Permit) for a new nuclear plant near Salem and Hope Creek plants.

Jim Conca - Forbes   Germany's Energy Transition Breaks Energiewende Paradox

Meredith Angwin - Yes Vermont Yankee   Boston Meeting on Future New England Energy Mix

Rick Maltese - Thorium MSR  An Update on MSR / Thorium Fuel for July 2015

Steve Aplin - Canadian Energy Issues   Carbon, Comic Books and the Media Bubble; what the media gets right and wrong, and what that can affect.

John Dobken - Northwest Clean Energy   How to be an Errorist -- this throwback submission from Energy Northwest pairs well with Canadian Energy Issues' above on errors in media reporting.  Dobken asks the question - "Are journalists critical enough (of their sources) when reporting on nuclear energy?"  Often, it appears, the answer is "no."
