In this episode, we commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster by asking a chilling modern question: Can a cyber attack cause a nuclear meltdown in 2026? Moving past the Hollywood tropes of ‘exploding reactors,' we dive into the high-stakes world of OT (Operational Technology) security and critical infrastructure protection. We are joined by Oleg Illiashenko, an expert in nuclear cybersecurity, and Bec McKeown, a specialist in human factors and cognitive readiness, to explore the coordinated digital erosion of safety systems and the psychological ‘misfit' that occurs when human decision-making collapses under pressure.This isn't a history lesson. It's a deep dive into supply chain vulnerabilities, IT/OT convergence, and the uncomfortable truth that in a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) crisis, the first thing to fail isn't the code, it's the human mind's ability to regulate stress.Expect a masterclass in resilience engineering, safety-critical design, and why the battle for the future of nuclear safety is actually a battle for trustworthy data.In This Episode, We Discuss:The Anatomy of a Nuclear Cyber Attack: Why the most credible threat isn't a single hack, but the coordinated degradation of monitoring systems during a plant transient or grid instability.From Chernobyl to Fukushima: How organisational silence, governance failures, and ignored ‘weak signals' remain the primary human-factor risks in modern nuclear facilities.The Action Bias Trap: Why the most effective incident response move is often a ‘purposeful pause,' and how psychological safety allows experts to override failing procedures.IT/OT Convergence & Fragility: How digitalisation and AI diagnostics improve safety while simultaneously expanding the attack surface through complex new failure modes.Building Cognitive Readiness: Practical strategies for emotional regulation and ‘micro-resets' to maintain shared alignment and decision quality during a high-consequence cyber event.Show NotesA Look at the Leadership Management of Chernobyl and Fukushima Nuclear Accidents by Serap Dunman and Müge Ensari ÖzayLinkedIn for Oleg IlliashenkoLinkedIn for Bec McKeownGet in touch with Bec about contributing to Mind Science

Nuclear power has always been hotly debated. 9% of California's power comes from the last operating nuclear power plant, Diablo Canyon, in San Luis Obispo County. But after initial plans to close it by 2025, an about-face by Gov. Gavin Newsom led the state to extend its operations until 2030 — with lawmakers now debating whether to keep it open for even longer in order to bolster California's ability to provide power in the face of climate change.  Links: The Debate for Keeping Diablo Canyon Open Past 2030 Is On.

What if the nuclear industry's biggest problem has nothing to do with the reactor itself? And what happens when a SpaceX veteran decides he's the one to fix it? What you'll discover today… (00:00) From a bush pilot in Alaska to building SpaceX launch pads to reshaping nuclear infrastructure.  (06:10) Understanding the market and customer-driven innovation. (08:45) A bold new approach to nuclear energy innovation. (12:05) Financing future growth and sustainability: Flexible models for growth. (15:00) The reality and challenges of starting a start-up.  (18:00) Lessons from a sabbatical and the importance of reflection. (22:30) The importance of patience in startups. (25:00) Building customer trust in a skeptical market- winning over early adopters. (28:00) Navigating regulatory challenges early (29:25) The learning curve of transitioning from aerospace to nuclear  (30:20) Balancing innovation with industry responsibility  (33:30) How to build trust with investors (36:00) How to deal with doubts, fears, and keeping the momentum going in a startup. (37:20) The impact of fatherhood on leadership and managing stress as a founder (40:25) Applied Atomics' vision of the future More about the episode Ben Kellie is not a nuclear scientist. He's an infrastructure builder. He spent years at SpaceX leading the launch pad construction at Vandenberg and running the landing barge programme day to day — learning what it actually takes to push complex, high-stakes infrastructure into the world. When he left to found The Launch Company, he bootstrapped it, served every major venture-backed rocket company, and exited on his own terms. Then he took two years off to think. What he found, after long walks and deep dives into advanced fuels, carbon sequestration and the future of industry, was a single blocker: the lack of affordable, firm, zero-emission baseload power. That insight became Applied Atomics — a company now just 13 months old, with a reactor licence in hand, a plant design at 60%, a digital twin running real-time plant physics from a Pelican case, and signed customer letters of intent.  Applied Atomics is not waiting to perfect the reactor. It is vertically integrating well-understood, high-heritage nuclear technology with new control systems and a supply chain built for actual deployment. If you are a founder, investor, or operator in hard tech, energy, or infrastructure, this episode is a blueprint for how to move fast without losing discipline — and why the most powerful innovation is sometimes a better process, not a better reactor.

Rosie interviews Dr Jeremy Walker of the University of Technology Sydney on his research, on the history of petroleum industry and fossil fuel investors early knowledge of global heating, systematic efforts to influence public opinion and government policy to defeat effective climate policy: that is, to reduce fossil fuel industry, extraction and combustion to zero, and replace all energy use with zero-combustion, zero emissions sources.  Key to this is an international network of ‘free market thinktanks' assembled by neoliberal economists, activists, politicians, media organisations and big business funders. Since its 1981 registration, the Atlas Economic Research Foundation (Arlington VA) has fulfilled its mission to ‘litter the world with free market thinktanks', expanding the global Atlas Network of neoliberal thinktanks to some 550 ‘partner organisations' in 100 nations eight of which are in Australian and New Zealand (see Pic). In this episode Dr Jeremy Walker discusses new research finding regarding  the history, definitions and methods of the Atlas Network of ostensibly ‘independent, non-profit' public policy research institutes, which whilst generating vast quantities of legacy media outputs policy papers and social media content to influence public opinion, frame public debate (moving the ‘Overton window') to defeat or advance government policies and constitutional reforms, has only recently been brought to light and named as a coherent global infrastructure- the Atlas Network.Dr Walker then discusses Liberal opposition leader Peter Dutton's flagship election campaign promises: to use public finances to build ‘clean and cheap' nuclear power stations across the nation, and to scrap offshore windfarm projects in Port Stephens, Illawarra (NSW), the Southern Ocean (Vic) and Geographe Bay (WA), In each case these announcements were preceded by highly sophisticated, disinformation campaigns involving individuals and organisations long associated with Australian and US  Atlas thinktanks, and accompanied by a swarm of ostensibly ‘community based' campaign websites, often with anonymous membership and always without declaring funding.

Saudi Arabia Seeks Nuclear Capabilities: Colleague Henry Sokolski explains that Saudi Arabia wants a nuclear power plant but resists signing US protocols allowing inspections; while Washington may view this as a hedge against Iran, a Saudi nuclear capability would threaten Israel's qualitative military edge, and the US has not yet granted advanced consent for enrichment.

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.

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on Ukraine's 34th Independence Day.

From Chiang Kai-shek's nuclear ambitions to the fallout from Chernobyl and Fukushima, Taiwan's nuclear story has always been controversial. The ROC once came within months of being nuclear-bomb ready, but today, fission is gone from even civilian atomic power generation. This Saturday, Aug. 23, 2025, voters face a radioactive referendum. The core question? Whether to restart the recently decommissioned Ma'anshan Nuclear Power Plant 馬鞍山核能發電廠 in Kenting, Pingtung County. After years of splitting atoms over this hot topic, a critical mass is forming in a debate that may reveal just how divided the island remains on atomic energy. Join us as we explore the chain-reaction politics of Taiwan's nuclear dilemma and the referendum which may trigger a U-turn on uranium. FOLLOW us on social media, leave a REVIEW or comment.

Startups are aiming for an audacious reboot of America's nuclear energy program. With massive energy demand for data centers and recent executive orders from President Trump that aim to quadruple nuclear-power generation in the next 25 years, the industry is having a moment. What will it take to meet these goals, and is it even possible? X-energy CEO Clay Sell and WSJ reporter Jennifer Hiller discuss how small modular nuclear reactors could lower the cost of building nuclear while meeting America's energy needs and what the electric grid of the future could look like.

Rising demand for electricity, largely to power the artificial intelligence boom, has stirred a resurgence in nuclear energy. Older plants like Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania are being brought out of retirement, but there’s also investment in smaller-scale reactors with different designs. The fresh interest in nuclear generation has also renewed discussion about how to build these facilities ethically, in other words, with an approach that’s sensitive to the needs of the community and the world at large. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Aditi Verma, assistant professor of nuclear engineering at the University of Michigan, who co-created an undergrad course about ethically designing modern nuclear facilities. Verma discussed her effort to train young engineers to transform the industry. For some engineers, it’s also renewed a discussion about how to build these facilities ethically. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Aditi Verma, professor of nuclear engineering at the University of Michigan who co-created a course for undergraduate students about how to ethically design modern nuclear facilities, about why it’s so important to be teaching this to young, would-be engineers now.
