Episode Description
Several weeks ago, T3 hosted the program “Nuclear Power / Recycling—What do I know?” We had many interested parties join in and download our podcast. During the show, we highlighted the need for nuclear energy to be part of the overall US energy dialogue. We will discuss today, is it now time for the US to recycle nuclear fuel? Why did the US stop recycling nuclear fuel? Is the US at greater risk by not recycling nuclear fuel? These are key questions the nuclear industry and each state that continue to store nuclear fuel must begin to debate to kick start an industry that has been in the doldrum since 1977. Our guest today are Mr. Steven Curtis and Mr. Tom Dolan, leading advocates to recycling nuclear fuel safely. Joins us at Today, Tomorrow’s Technology (T3), as we discuss and review the most dynamic challenges to nuclear power fuel recycling debate.

Today, Tomorrow’s Technologies (T3) enables our scientists, engineers and innovators to establish a daily dialogue with a non-techy listener. This engagement will expand our understanding of how technology can impact our daily lives. The goal is to simplify, avoid the tech mystery and encourage the study or participation in these new disciplines. T3 benefits will answer the following questions:
a. What are the positive or negative impacts in the new technology?
b. When can these technologies impact our daily routine?
c. How can society benefit from these technologies?
T3 will cover a variety of engineering, scientific and future technologies. Topics include autonomous vehicles, disruptive products, cyber technologies, smart homes/devices, unmanned aerial vehicles, smart phone, now what?, space exploration/activities, electric technologies, energy/alternate energy, tech government vs commercial, technology in high schools, future robots, and the next inventions.
