About re:atomics

I think nuclear has a lot to offer. What fascinates me is everything around the reaction: where the fuel comes from, how we move the heat, and what we can do with the products afterward.

I’m starting with fission because it already works. I want to understand why these systems are built the way they are. What could we do differently? What sounds promising until you look more closely?

• Fuel & materials

  Where does fuel come from, and how does it change in a reactor?

• Chemistry & recovery

  Could enzymes or other biological processes make material recovery easier?

• Reactor engineering

  What sets the limits on a design? Could we approach it differently?

• Energy & other applications

  How could we use spare power, heat, or radioactive products?

I ask questions, look for research, and work through the answers. Some of that becomes an investigation here. Some becomes an explanation or an exercise I can come back to.

I’m optimistic about nuclear, but every approach has trade-offs. I want the sources and difficult questions here too, including where I got something wrong.

Eventually, I’d love to bring engineers, physicists, and funding together to work on specific problems. I haven’t chosen a product to build. First, I need to understand enough to know which questions are worth pursuing.
