From that nuclear beginning, Mr. Kupp’s full time career was in the development of civilian nuclear power, its economics, its fuel, and safety. He was also an Adjunct Professor in Nuclear Engineering at New York Polytechnic University.
After his retirement, in addition to more reading, music, oil painting, and some traveling he wrote two books. The first, an autobiography, “A Nuclear Engineer in the Twentieth Century” which discussed not only his working career, but his youth, home life, the island of Nantucket and sailing. His second book, “ENERGY – A Solution”, is a laissez faire approach to energy’s future – with a combination of conservation, wind, solar and nuclear.
This book includes some of his energy thoughts in the Chapter on “Global Warming” an issue that will affect every nation in the Worldver menos
