New Nuclear: Flexible, Scalable, and Safe
Manage episode 446824346 series 2813444
Historically, nuclear power plants have been easy to identify by the massive water-cooling towers that have been the hallmark of these generation sites for decades. However, that’s changing. In this episode, guest host Nicholas Seeley talks with Brian Gitt from Oklo, a company developing next-generation nuclear technology, including a smaller nuclear reactor that’s housed in what looks more like a vacation retreat than industrial site.
