With six published novels under his belt, you might think J.A. Konrath has it made. But, if you know much about the current publishing market, you could certainly question that. Made or not, JA made a very interesting discovery recently when he sat down and compared his Hyperion ebook royalty statements with the proceeds he’s [...]
Idaho Samizdat has the latest on NuScale, Babcock & Wilcox mPower, Hyperion Power Generation and Toshiba 4S from the American Nuclear Society Winter Meeting Hyperion Takes Steps to Speed to Market Within Four Years Hyperion Power Generation (HPG) uranium nitride fuel burns would begin before the end of the year. He said that Los Alamos National Laboratory, from whom Hyperion has licenced some...
A while back, I wrote about an interesting little reactor to be marketed by a company that calls itself Hyperion. I had a number of questions, some of which were answered, many not. I also had a reservation about Hyperion's approach to its publicity. It is that “baffle ‘em with bullshit” approach that I sense in those Hyperion claims. If Hyperion's attitude is the sameold sameold...
A panel of vendors makes the case for it at the ANS winter meeting It is the burden of all senior executives when serving on panel discussions at industry conferences to walk a fine line between being interesting and engaging with a skeptical audience on one hand and on the other hawking the daylights out of their product with shameless disregard for anyone's desire not to sit through a commercial....

This approach to fission power really looks like the safest and most sustainable approach humans have discovered so far. Why isn't it being used? Have I ever mentioned that we are living in an Idiocracy? That is why LFTRs aren't being used. 25 Minute Intensive Intro to Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors 16 Minute Intensive Intro to Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors H/T Charles Barton In this post , Charles...
I'm totally stealing an idea from Jason Kottke here (let's call it a meme!), but it's kinda neat: Whenever I link to something at Amazon on kottke.org, there's an affiliate code associated with the link. When I log into my account, I can access a listing of what people bought1. The interesting bit is that everything someone buys after clicking through to Amazon counts and is listed, even items I didn't...

Dan Yurman has an interesting post on the Hyperion Reactor project today . The Hyperion uses several strategies to lower cost. It is designed to be factory produced as a unit. It is small enough to be transported by truck or rail. It is a relatively simple design, which simplifies manufacture and lowers labor and parts cost. It uses a lead-bismuth coolant, that will not boil at reactor operating temperature,...

Part Nine “Let’s exercise the grey cells for once, shall we?” The Doctor, still very upset at Peri’s death, is nevertheless forced to continue with the trial, and to show some evidence of his own.

Dan Simmons published a wonderful, galaxy-spanning, mind-blowing sf novel in 1989: Hyperion . Then he followed it up with three more novels of which I have read two. They're OK, but not as good as the first book. Science fiction is of course stories where fabulous things happen and are explained by science and technology rather than magic. There are two ways to do this: either you offer an explanation...
