In Episode 27 of Gener8, Ken Luongo, President of the Partnership for Global Security, joined us for a conversation on the role of Uranium in global energy and nuclear security. On the heels of commitments of over $3B by the federal government to support the domestic Uranium supply chain, Ken shared his perspective on how Russian aggression in Ukraine combined with the already oversized role of Russia in the global Uranium supply chain caused many to pause and rethink. With recent funding and action by the federal government being the biggest resulting domestic response, we dove into where some of this money might be applied and whether it will be enough. China also entered our discussion on the role of nuclear energy in the global energy security picture before we turned to a recently published study on the proliferation risks of some potential advanced reactor uranium supply chains. The commodity picture around Uranium will remain a part of many nuclear discussions for years to come and understanding how security concerns can align with energy, reliability, and financing concerns will remain an important part of any such discussions.
