Reviews

4.4 out of 5 stars from 38 ratings
  • Host audio quality

    I am starting to really enjoy the content in these podcasts (after becoming aware though my ASME membership).

    However, the host's microphone audio quality is absolutely horrible. This makes it very hard for me (and I assume other people with mild audio sensitivity) to fully digest the content.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Standards as the Backbone of Nuclear & Fusion Energy with Dale Matthews
Q: What does success look like for ASME in the fusion standards area, say ten years from now?
Success would mean having a practical, usable, technology-neutral fusion construction code that can be adopted by multiple jurisdictions and used to actually build a fusion plant, with harmonization efforts allowing devices to meet different codes without major redesigns.
Standards as the Backbone of Nuclear & Fusion Energy with Dale Matthews
Q: OK, so what problems do standards actually solve in nuclear engineering and why are they essential to fusion energy?
Standards provide a standard set of rules developed by industry experts through a consensus process, vetted by regulators, and often adopted into law, enabling safe operation and widespread adoption of nuclear technologies, while fusion standards face the challenge of creating a harmonized, universally applicable construction code.
Redefining Nuclear Power with Caroline DeWitte
Q: What are the biggest milestones and setbacks in bringing this technology to market?
Key milestones include going public, securing substantial private funding, and achieving bipartisan government support and explicit DOE/NRC collaboration that enables first-of-a-kind projects to proceed and learn from real-world construction.
Redefining Nuclear Power with Caroline DeWitte
Q: What's changed the most in how the industry talks about advanced nuclear and why is it important now?
The field has moved from theoretical and regulatory concerns to real construction. Builders are now able to show practical performance and safety in real plants, making the business case and financing much more central to progress.
Seeing Clearly with LiDAR Glass
Q: How does borosilicate glass like Borafloat maintain optical accuracy under harsh conditions such as temperature changes and debris impact?
The borosilicate network, formed by boron oxide as a network former, yields a robust, chemically resistant, and thermally stable material. This composition enables high transmission from UV to SWIR, low thermal expansion, and resistance to debris impacts, making Borafloat a reliable substrate for protective windows and coatings in LiDAR systems.
