The QTS Experience

Ep 213: James Walker; Unlocking the Future of Nuclear: Microreactors, Safety Myths, and Salmon Fishermen


Listen Later

James Walker, nuclear physicist, engineer, and proud salmon fisherman-accent holder, dives deep into the future of nuclear energy with me on this episode of the QTS Experience. From debunking safety myths and exploring microreactor innovation to tackling the energy sovereignty puzzle, James shares why nuclear is poised to power our data centers, remote islands, and even military bases. We discuss the practicality of modular designs, their environmental benefits, and why he believes nuclear is key to sustainable growth. And yes, we even detour into the mysteries of marriage, 3D-printed reactors, and whether nuclear engineers can really master the mind of their spouses. Spoiler: they can’t.

Get ready to be inspired, challenged, and maybe a little charmed as we explore why nuclear energy is not just a solution for today’s power needs but a critical investment in our collective future.
