Nuclear era begins! Atlantic Council talks all things Small Nuclear Reactors & Fukushima | S1EP44
In this episode, host Alex and Wolfe Power Club’s Director of Government Relations Max Austin dive into the future of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and their potential to meet climate goals while being economically viable. They speak to Atlantic Council’s Nuclear Energy Policy Initiative Director Jennifer Gordon on the U.S. Department of Energy backing NuScale Power's design for deployment by 2029, understanding whether this timeline is realistic and how SMRs could create a global market, especially in developing regions. They discuss the recent insights from International Energy Week, where IEA's Fatih Birol highlighted 2024 as a pivotal year for nuclear energy, examining the factors that could drive this resurgence.
