Hadron Energy says its micro modular reactors will produce power at 15 cents/kWh. How will the company make that possible?

Do small modular reactors create more radioactive waste than conventional nuclear reactors?

Which states have a moratorium on nuclear energy deployment?

These are some of the questions my guests addressed in this podcast.

Advanced nuclear reactors are seen as key to meeting soaring data center, AI and electrification demand because they provide baseload power and are carbon-free. But the advanced nuclear reactor industry faces a number of challenges, including regulatory delays, state bans on nuclear, high costs and waste-disposal issues.

Guests:

Samuel Gibson, founder and CEO at Hadron Energy

Woody Hastings, program director at The Climate Center

Tom Bailey, vice president of energy at Flexential
