    Visualizing the world’s water security threat

    Benjamin Hennig explains two cartograms that demonstrate the global water security threat

    Global croplands play a central role in feeding the world’s population. As the population keeps growing (though with declining growth rates that suggest an end of growth towards the end of the century), the importance of croplands for water and food security has become a central focus of research.

    The US Geological Survey estimates that there are 1.87 billion hectares of global croplands, which means that on average one hectare sustains food production for about four people in the world. The three most populous countries, China, India, and the USA, also have the highest net cropland area (albeit the largest country by population, China, only comes third in terms of cropland area). However, the overall distribution is much more uneven and less related to where most people live on the planet.

    Fusion the energy of choice for NASA space travel plans.

    By MARK R. MADLER Staff Reporter

    Radiation detection manufacturer US Nuclear Corp. is getting behind the U.S. space program.

    The Canoga Park company, through its partners Magneto Inertial Fusion Technologies Inc. and MIFTEC Laboratories Inc., is promoting the use of a new type of fusion energy that can be used to power spacecraft to Mars and for colonies on that planet as well as the moon.

  • Radiation Plus Brain Sensors?

    TECHNOLOGY: US Nuclear’s unusual strategic investment. via San Fernando Valley Business Journal. usnuclearcorp.com

    By MARK R. MADLER Staff Reporter

    On the surface, the investment by US Nuclear Corp. in a San Diego company that makes components used in machine-brain interface devices might seem an unusual strategic decision.

    After all, the Canoga Park company’s main business is manufacturing radiation detectors for use at nuclear power plants.

    But Chief Executive Robert Goldstein doesn’t see it that way.
    “We consider ourselves in the sensor business and electrodes that go in the brain are sensors,” Goldstein said.

  • US Nuclear signs letter of intent to make MIFTEC medical isotope generators

    US Nuclear Corp signs letter of intent to manufacture MIFTEC medical isotope generators

    by John Fischer , Staff Reporter

    The radiation detection holding company signed a letter of intent last week with MIFTEC, whose parent company is Magneto-Inertial Fusion Technologies Inc. (MIFTI) Nuclear Fusion, for the sole manufacturing rights of its generators. These utilize its Staged Z-Pinch fusion technique to produce a high number of neutrons, which can then be used to create medical isotopes. “One of the reasons that we’re so excited to be constructing this agreement is that MIFTI and MIFTEC have developed a procedure for producing a large flux of neutrons from a very small footprint,” Robert I. Goldstein, president, CEO, and chairman of US Nuclear Corp, told HCB News. “The plan is to build these radioisotope generators and sell them for maybe $6-$10 million each. If you want to put up a nuclear reactor, you’re talking hundreds of millions of dollars to make the initial investment.”

    US Nuclear Corp is preparing to make the first partial shipment of portable tritium air monitors to be used by the U.S. Air Force. The first shipment will consist of (10) units, and is scheduled to be delivered by October 31, 2017. The total contract of $722,500 is for (100) units total, and additional partial shipments of (15) units have been scheduled every month until the quota is met next March, 2018.

    “We are very eager and excited to make our first shipment of tritium monitors for the USAF,” remarked Robert Goldstein, President and CEO of US Nuclear Corp. “This order represents a sizeable quantity for us, but we were able to smoothly accommodate the large quantity due to our organized quality management system. We successfully allocated our production schedule so that we can steadily produce 15 units to be shipped every month, while simultaneously completing all other current jobs on the backlog. The prepaid partial shipments every month will continue to produce a steady stream of cashflow for a strong finish in 2017.”

    US Nuclear Corp’s portable tritium in air monitors are also used by other government agencies such as the US Army, US Navy, French Navy, NASA, NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology), EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), and (IAEA) International Atomic Energy Agency.
