Doug Hardtmayer is a Nuclear Engineer who noticed that often times, essential technologies are often discarded before they are fully utilized, and believes that nuclear technology is one of them. He believes that this is likely due to a persistent PR problem those who advocate for nuclear technology have, and that nuclear energy by and large is widely misunderstood, which is something he talks about often in his podcast, RadioNuclear. With his talk, he hopes to change some of the most common misconceptions about nuclear energy and technology and makes the case for it being a vital key in sustaining mankinds future prosperity. Doug Hardtmayer is a current graduate student studying nuclear engineering at The Ohio State University. Doug has been interested in nuclear power from a very young age and has been studying it ever since. Since coming to Ohio State, his primary research focus has been in radiation detection and waste management, focusing mainly on pyroprocessing. While waste management is his main focus, he has also been involved and conducted research in health physics, radiation therapy, and radiochemistry fields. He also hosts and produces a podcast titled “RadioNuclear”, which discusses nuclear issues with various industry professionals, and serves to offer insight on the industry. After graduation, Doug will begin working at MPR Associates in Alexandria Virginia, where he hopes to work on some of the most challenging engineering issues facing the nuclear industry. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
