Podcasts about Nuclear energy

Suddenly, nuclear energy has become the belle of the ball when it comes to future electrical production expectations.After decades of demonization, this energy-dense, cost-effective, always-on solution -- statistically proven to be the safest in the world in terms of lives lost -- is now looked at as the future of green energy and a key component to winning the AI race in the long term.It also offers the promise of even cheaper, safer and more distributed energy as new technical solutions are being released around the world -- including small modular reactors, molten-salt technologies, and the use of less radioactive fuels like thorium.To help us understand what we can count on in the future from the coming nuclear energy boom -- as well as what we likely can't -- we're fortunate to speak today with Kirk Sorensen, President and Chief Technologist at Flibe Energy, who for decades has been a leading advocate for nuclear reactor innovation and thorium-based solutions.WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

The essence of nuclear governance is safety. That's not only because any accident can destroy thousands of lives – it's also because the harm unfolds over time, affecting generations. It can destroy entire regions, as nuclear radiation can make them uninhabitable for a long time. It is thus a matter of common sense that safety has to be a higher priority than any other consideration -- including energy security.  Now, the Parliament passed the Sustainable Harnessing and Advancement of Nuclear Energy for Transforming India (SHANTI) Bill. It was passed with minimal debate. This Bill repeals previous legislation that governed civil nuclear activity: the Atomic Energy Act 1962, and the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage (CLND) Act 2010. The new Bill, for the first time in India, throws open nuclear power generation to private players. It also exempts nuclear suppliers from any liability.  Taken together, what do the provisions of the SHANTI Bill mean for the safety of Indian citizens? What happens in case of a radiation leak? And does India really need nuclear power at a time when other renewables are getting cheaper?  Guest: Suvrat Raju, a physicist associated with the Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament and Peace, who has written on nuclear issues for many years.

The World Nuclear News team looks back over the most read articles in 2025 - with topics including Canada's ground-breaking SMR project, the 50th World Nuclear Symposium, the eventual signing of a contract for the Czech new nuclear project, China's SMR completing cold testing, and the drone damage to Chernobyl's New Safe Confinement.Then World Nuclear Association Director General Sama Bilbao y León picks out the key themes of the year, noting the fast-growing interest from the financial sector in investment opportunities in nuclear, plus the declaration from energy users such as Google, Meta and Dow Chemicals to support the goal of at least tripling nuclear energy capacity by 2050.With a number of projects making progress in countries without recent experience of nuclear construction there has also been a lot of focus on developing supply chains, reflected in the success of the World Nuclear Supply Chain conference held in Poland.Looking ahead to 2026 there are big set-piece events to look forward to - such as World Nuclear Symposium in London, World Nuclear Supply Chain conference in the Philippines and World Nuclear Fuel Cycle conference in Monaco - with big moments also expected for the first units in Bangladesh and Turkey, a restart for Palisades as well as first concrete due to be poured for Hungary's Paks II project.Bilbao y León says the "stars are definitely aligned" for nuclear and the coming year "is the moment where the global nuclear industry really needs to be proactive and active and make the most of this opportunity". She says: "We really need to work together with our governments. We need to work together with the nuclear regulators, with the finance community, with large energy users. And we cannot leave behind civil society. We have seen major improvements in acceptance and interest in nuclear, but we need to continue to be very proactive to engage with civil society, to make sure that no question is left unanswered."Key links to find out more:World Nuclear NewsCanada's first SMR project: How is CAD20.9 billion cost calculated?World Nuclear AssociationEmail newsletter:Sign up to the World Nuclear News daily or weekly news round-upsContact info:alex.hunt@world-nuclear.orgEpisode credit:  Presenter Alex Hunt.

India’s nuclear energy framework is set for its most consequential reset in decades with the passage of the Shanti Bill. In this episode, host Anirban Chowdhury speaks to ET’s executive editor, politics Pranab Dhal Samanta and Anubhuti Vishnoi to unpack what the new law changes and why it matters now. The discussion traces India’s long nuclear journey: from staying outside the Non-Proliferation Treaty and building indigenous capabilities, to gaining global legitimacy after the Indo-US nuclear deal. Yet, despite access to international fuel and technology, expansion remained sluggish, constrained by strict liability norms and a tightly controlled, state-led model. The Shanti Bill seeks to change that. It consolidates existing laws into a single framework, removes supplier liability, aligns compensation rules with global conventions, and introduces graded liability caps. Crucially, it opens the door to private participation, separates regulatory and operational roles, and clarifies responsibilities across the nuclear fuel cycle while keeping strategic control with the state. As nuclear power is expected to play a larger role in India’s long-term energy mix, this episode explains how the new framework could reshape the future of civilian nuclear power in the country.

Green bonds reshaped parts of sustainable finance and placed transparency and disclosure at the core of fixed-income markets. Although they didn't change credit risk they managed to change how investors evaluate credibility, disclosure, and intent.This 2-in-1 compilation revisits two earlier conversations about the early days of green bonds, when issuers and investors were still figuring out how the product worked. This was before sustainable finance went mainstream. In that period, climate reporting was uneven and measurement frameworks were still taking shape.You'll hear highlights from the interviews with Marilyn Ceci and Romina Reversi. Both worked inside JP Morgan when the green bond market took shape.Marilyn Ceci led ESG Debt Capital Markets globally at JP Morgan. As a co-author of the Green Bond Principles, she helped establish voluntary guardrails that allowed the market to scale without losing liquidity.Romina Reversi served as a founding member of JP Morgan's ESG DCM team at a time when green bonds remained niche. She now leads Sustainable Investment Banking for the Americas at Crédit Agricole and focuses on green bonds, sustainability-linked bonds, and investor-aligned sustainability strategy.This compilation revisits:why green bonds became a communication tool for sustainability strategieswhy transparency itself was treated as impacthow standards enabled liquidity and scalehow nuclear energy re-entered the green bond conversationIf you want a clear, no-nonsense view of how green bonds actually work, this is the place to start.—Intro (00:00)Marilyn Ceci on early green bonds (03:36)What green bonds are versus traditional bonds (07:50)Why issuers choose green bonds over conventional debt (14:42)Do green bonds deliver pricing advantages or greeniums (17:15)Examples of real-world green bond financings (19:17)Evolution from green to broader ESG bond markets (24:24)Challenges and criticisms of green bonds (30:49)Romina Reversi's pivot into founding ESG capital markets at JP Morgan (38:44)Early sustainable finance misconceptions explained (40:29)Building ESG teams from scratch challenges (42:08)Green bonds explained for newcomers (43:41)First tech green bonds lessons learned (45:29)Romina's role at Crédit Agricole (46:50)Nuclear energy and sustainable finance (54:21)Greenwashing criticism and additionality debate (58:52)— Discover More from SRI360°:Explore all episodes of the SRI360° Podcast Sign up for the free weekly email update —Additional Resources:Full conversation with Marilyn CeciFull conversation with Romina Reversi

Nuclear energy is now widely seen as one part of the solution to reducing carbon emissions. But how much of a profile did it get at COP30 - the 30th UN Climate Change Conference, held in Belém, Brazil?Jonathan Cobb, Senior Programme Lead, Climate, for World Nuclear Association, was in Brazil for the event and in this edition he outlines what was achieved, and not achieved, at COP30 and what the significant moments were for nuclear energy.He looks ahead to the next editions of COP - in Turkey and Ethiopia - before COP33, which will be held somewhere in Southeast Asia in 2028, and which is due to be when all the National Determined Constributions will have to have been submitted, with a new global stocktake document to be agreed.Also in this edition we hear from Thomas Lamb, CEO of Myriad Uranium, who talks about the history of, and his hopes for, their Copper Mountain project in Wyoming in the USA.

Johan Svenningsson is Country Chairman and CEO of Uniper Sweden as well as being vice chairman and chairman-elect of World Nuclear Association.In this edition, Svenningsson talks about what has been an eventful few years for the nuclear energy sector in Sweden, and the current positive mood towards nuclear and plans for new nuclear - "it's fantastic, we're basically talking about nuclear 2.0 in Sweden", is how he puts it.We also hear about: lessons on modular construction from his previous roles in the oil and gas and the pharmaceuticals industry; life-extension work; decommissioning programmes; and how the construction of a deep geological repository is progressing.Regarding his role with World Nuclear Association, Svenningsson says nuclear is a unique global industry where people learn from each other and share knowledge: "I don't see any other industry which is that global and which is that integrated - we're all competitors, suppliers, customers but we really focus on, and want, nuclear to be a strong part of the future, greener society."His priorities for the association are the industry's need to deliver, now that the political and financial conditions are increasingly in place. He says that on the political and regulatory front "we've come a long way. I think nuclear is starting to be more on par with other technologies, but there is still a way to go. People are still talking about renewables or nuclear ... we should look at all these technologies to be fossil free".Other priorities include the need to attract and train a diverse selection of young talented people to the nuclear industry, and also to develop the supply chain as new nuclear projects begin in emerging nuclear countries, or in established countries restarting their nuclear construction programmes after decades. Key links to find out more:World Nuclear NewsDismantling of Swedish reactors reaches milestoneSweden looks to protect nuclear investors from political U-turnsExtended operation of Oskarshamn 3 to be assessedWNA Board membersEmail newsletter:Sign up to the World Nuclear News daily or weekly news round-upsContact info:alex.hunt@world-nuclear.orgEpisode credit:  Presenter Alex Hunt.

President Trump and Mohammed bin Salman concluded the Saudi crown prince’s visit to the United States by speaking to more than 400 business leaders. Beyond a defense agreement and talk of the kingdom’s human rights record, the visit focused on joint U.S.-Saudi ventures, including minerals and helping Saudi Arabia build a civilian nuclear program.

Trey Lauderdale is the CEO and Founder of Atomic Canyon, a company bringing artificial intelligence into the nuclear energy sector. Atomic Canyon recently deployed the first commercial on-site generative AI system at a U.S. nuclear facility. While AI's growth is creating massive demand for reliable, clean baseload power, Atomic Canyon explores the reverse question: does nuclear need AI just as much to solve workforce shortages and accelerate new reactor deployment? Trey's path to nuclear is unconventional. After building and selling a healthcare communications platform, he moved to San Luis Obispo and discovered he lived 10 miles from California's last nuclear plant. That proximity led to applying lessons from one highly regulated industry to another. In just two years, Trey has built partnerships with PG&E and Diablo Canyon, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Idaho National Laboratory, the kind of institutional relationships that typically take years to establish in the nuclear industry. Perhaps that speed says something about both the urgency of the problem and the credibility of the solution.Episode recorded on Aug 12, 2025 (Published on Nov 19, 2025)In this episode, we cover: [2:49] An overview of Atomic Canyon[04:45] Trey's  path from healthcare to nuclear [08:50] The myths vs reality of nuclear power plants[10:41] Understanding nuclear's administrative bottlenecks [12:14] How Trey started Atomic Canyon with no nuclear experience [17:59] Learning from Diablo leadership and facility[20:24] Deploying the first on-premise nuclear AI system[23:39] Security measures for data sets[29:23] Building NuclearBench with Idaho National Lab[32:02] Scaling from one plant to fleet-wide adoption[38:53] Where Atomic Canyon needs help [40:09] The company's funding to date Enjoyed this episode?

Nightlife News Breakdown with Philip Clark, joined by Ron Mizen, Senior Political Reporter for the Australian Financial Review, who covers politics, economics, business and law. 

If global nuclear energy capacity is to at least triple by 2050 it is going to need huge, huge investment - estimates suggest $250billion a year for 25 years. So how will it be financed and what are the opportunities and challenges for financiers wanting to get involved? To find out more, host Alex Hunt is joined by World Nuclear Association's Lola Infante, Senior Programme Lead Economics and Finance, and David Stearns, nuclear finance advisor and consultant.They consider why nuclear projects have generally been state-financed in the past, and what the industry needs to do to ensure that it attracts private finance for future schemes, including "financing by design" where, as David puts it, "you embed and you write the financial coding at the same time that you're doing your site assessment, at the same time that you're checking your early stage regulatory approvals".There is discussion of the growing appetite by global investment banks and multilateral banks to invest in new nuclear and the challenges of structuring financing to ensure it is attractive despite the long timescales involved in planning, building and then operating a new nuclear power plant.They also provide insights into what has been learned so far from the Financing Nuclear Briefing series, which brings the nuclear industry and financiers together to discuss financing issues under Chatham House rules.Key links to find out more:World Nuclear NewsInvestment decisions needed to avoid fuel cycle supply gaps'Difficult to overstate demand from institutional investors' for nuclearEmail newsletter:Sign up to the World Nuclear News daily or weekly news round-upsContact info:alex.hunt@world-nuclear.orgEpisode credit:  Presenter Alex Hunt.

Juliann Edwards is Chief Development Officer at The Nuclear Company. The United States has 93 operating nuclear reactors providing about 20% of the nation's electricity. After decades without new builds, Vogtle Units 3 and 4 in Georgia finally came online—despite cost overruns and delays that nearly derailed the project. Meanwhile, China has dozens of reactors under construction and is on pace to surpass the U.S. as the world's nuclear leader by 2030.At the same time, an energy-demand gap—driven by AI data centers, reshoring of manufacturing, and widespread electrification—has put nuclear back in the conversation. Hyperscalers like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Meta are scrambling for clean, reliable baseload power.The Nuclear Company believes it can crack what's held nuclear back in America. Rather than inventing new reactor designs, they're using proven models like the AP1000 and targeting “the other 88%” of costs—construction, financing, and project management. Their approach is fleet-scale deployment: building multiple reactors at once to drive down costs through repetition and shared learning. They're also partnering with Palantir to build an AI-powered operating system to orchestrate these projects.Beyond her role at The Nuclear Company, Juliann chairs U.S. Women in Nuclear. With 15 years in the industry—from steel commodities to the 2000s nuclear renaissance and the decommissioning wave—she's seen the cycles and why today's interest feels different.MCJ is a multiple-time investor in The Nuclear Company through our venture funds.Episode recorded on Aug 7, 2025 (Published on Oct 7, 2025)In this episode, we cover: [2:57] Juliann's background and path to nuclear[05:30] Women in Nuclear's mission and growth[06:38] Lessons from a six‑state nuclear bus tour[08:22] NIMBY sentiment shifting toward nuclear acceptance[10:25] U.S. build history and why it stalled[18:06] What went wrong and right at Vogtle[24:05] Nuclear reactor ~12% of cost; 88% is everything else[25:42] Workforce gaps and training pipelines[26:40] An overview of nuclear project types[32:59] Timelines: restarts soon; new builds in years[34:42] TNC's executive makeup[37:40] The role of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission[40:35] Palantir and TNC's newly announced partnership[48:35] Solving the nuclear waste problem[50:30] Juliann's predictions for the future of nuclear[53:10] Hyperscalers' evolving nuclear appetite Enjoyed this episode?

Host David From sits down with Chris Koopman, CEO of the Abundance Institute, to unpack why data centers—the backbone of our digital lives and the rise of AI—are straining America's electric grid, and how policy is either clearing the runway or clogging it. Koopman explains the explosive growth in compute demand, why years-long permitting and legacy rules are the real bottlenecks, and how states can welcome next-gen infrastructure without sacrificing reliability for “grandma's AC.” He also highlights creative solutions—from private grids to siting innovation—and why permitting reform is essential if we want abundant, affordable power. Then, the conversation turns to nuclear's resurgence, especially advanced and small modular reactors that promise safer, scalable, always-on energy to meet AI's round-the-clock needs. Koopman makes the case for empowering communities through competition and choice: defend open-source AI, let startups flourish, and allow states to pick the energy mix that fits their resources—whether that's gas, wind, solar, or nuclear. If America wants to lead the next industrial revolution, we need an “abundance mindset” that unleashes builders and modernizes the rules holding them back.

Kate Fowler is the Global Head of Nuclear at WTW and a certified fire protection specialist. She previously contributed to Marsh's Global Specialty Energy & Power team, where she worked to advance nuclear energy initiatives. In this live from RIMS 2025 Chicago episode, Kate offers an insight into this highly specialized sector of risk management, including a look at the future of nuclear energy, the benefits of earning her ARM and CPCU advancing nuclear energy initiatives designations, and what she wishes she had known at the onset of her insurance career.   Key Takeaways: ● Kate's role with WTW aims to support the global construction practice with nuclear plant contractors and potential operators. ● Originally an architectural engineer, nuclear engineering wasn't in Kate's initial career plan. ● The technical ins and outs of fire protection. ● Transitioning from loss control to underwriting to the broker side. ● Nuclear energy is ramping up again for the first time in a decade. ● Energy independence is becoming a greater focus than ever before. ● Clean energy technologies will be part of future solutions. ● Kate's perspective and expectation shift from an underwriter to a broker. ● The benefits of ARM and CPCU designations in Kate's career. ● Considerations when moving from one established broker to another. ● Types of nuclear energy, including advanced reactors, fission, and fusion. ● Kate's experience as a woman in a male-dominated field. ● Kate still doesn't know what she wants to be when she grows up — and that's okay. ● Don't worry about a career plan, just follow the breadcrumbs. ● Recruiting talent in the nuclear insurance industry means building a talent pool.   Mentioned in This Episode: Kate Fowler WTW   Tweetables:   “Originally, I didn't even know nuclear insurance was a thing.”   “I want to do more for the nuclear industry and support more people in the nuclear industry.”   “For all of the new nuclear assets that are coming online, the first thing you've got to do is construct them.”   “My career has absolutely not gone the way I expected it to, and it has been amazing.”
