The U.S. Department of Energy has announced a $17.5 billion loan package to support new nuclear reactor projects, but financing is only one piece of a much larger challenge. During this episode of TechMobility Topics, we examine whether the United States can deliver a new generation of nuclear power plants on schedule and within budget while rebuilding the engineering, construction, and operational expertise the industry has gradually lost. We also unpack the nuclear safety principle of "defense in depth," discussing how multiple layers of protection reduce risk—and why the long-term management of spent nuclear fuel remains one of the industry's greatest technical and societal responsibilities. The conversation asks whether America is truly prepared for a nuclear resurgence or is underestimating the complexity that comes with it.
