Rivka Galchen

published in The New Yorker
Galchen investigates a form of energy that seems critical in a shift away from oil and coal: nuclear. But what sticks in the general public's mind is often massive nuclear plants, radioactive wastes, and meltdowns. She hopes to show, instead, that fusion (opposed to fission) is what could bring the world into a new age of clean energy.
