Introduction: Greetings, LinkedIn Community! Today, I want to dive deep into a thought-provoking film that has sparked conversations about the future of nuclear power and its potential in achieving net-zero carbon emissions. Oliver Stone’s “Nuclear Now” takes us on a cinematic journey that not only entertains but also encourages us to contemplate the possibilities ahead. […]
In a world seeking sustainable energy solutions, the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, stands as a shining example of how meticulous planning and collaboration can lead to the successful realization of large-scale nuclear projects. This landmark project, with four APR-1400 nuclear reactors, not only diversifies the UAE’s energy sources but […]
Do you think electricity is the cat’s pajamas? Chances are you do, especially since we’ve been experiencing a sweltering summer. Electricity is an indispensable part of our lives, but have you even sat in reflection on where it comes from? The answer is in power plants, and I’m going to give you a basic idea […]

Humans use forms of artificial intelligence (AI) every day. Chances are, you have an AI-based personal assistant within arm’s reach right now. As technology has advanced, we have explored more ways to use AI such as making tasks easier, making decisions with swift data analysis, and predicting trends for both industry and personal use. An […]
How a trainee learns establishes how the information is stored and retrieved. Reinforcement of learning through practice and feedback enhances knowledge retention and skills development. Technology plays an important role in innovative learning and developing skills. In current training classrooms, information on any subject can be researched and found immediately. Trainees have a variety of […]
When I look back on my initial license training program to obtain my Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) license, I recall the intense amount of plant information and tasks I needed to learn just to be able to pass the final NRC exam.

Imagine a future where; the majority of our power consumed worldwide has been generated with almost no carbon footprint, the oceans are used to solve water shortages, remote villages and towns around the globe have access to a safe, reliable steady-state electrical power, or a carbon-free portable power source that can be placed anywhere a […]
When I started my nuclear career at Seabrook Station in 1981, the facility was under construction. I was concerned that the industry was going to be severely challenged because of the Three Mile Island (TMI) accident that occurred in 1979. Over the years, I was impressed by the resiliency of our industry and the progress […]
More than 20 years ago, when I joined the nuclear power field, I couldn’t imagine it would be a calling leading to innovative nuclear power development. This industry has been a part of my entire adult life and I love it. I have met and continue to meet some of the most intelligent, inspirational, and […]
