Nuclear energy is back in the spotlight as policymakers and innovators look for faster, cleaner, and more reliable energy solutions. This week, Elisa is joined by Dr. Jeff Waksman, Program Manager at the Department of Defense’s Strategic Capabilities Office, to explore Project Pele—an initiative designed to fast-track the development of mobile nuclear reactors. They discuss the structural weaknesses of the U.S. grid, the slow adoption of new energy technologies, and how microreactors could provide a more flexible, resilient power source for the future.
