Jesus Nuñez is a native of Puerto Rico and the CEO and co-founder of the Nuclear Alternative Project, a non-profit group that is promoting the use of nuclear energy on the island. In this episode, he talks about the $1.6M grant his group from the Department of Energy to study the potential siting of small reactors in Puerto Rico, why the island needs “dense and resilient” forms of power generation, and the pressing need for low-cost energy in the territory, where some 43% of Puerto Riqueños are living in poverty.
