Zog, I can tell you have a solid technical background ... certainly enjoy your posts. Would love to communicate with you privately, if you don’t mind leaving an e-mail address.

I’ve known Dr Jeff Eerkens for a long time, he has always been a mentor and good friend of mine. As a child laborer in a Japanese concentration camp in WWII, he was freed by the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki which ended the war. Ever since then, he became fascinated by the power of nuclear energy, particularly for peaceful purposes. Have a look at his book “The Nuclear Imperative”.
