Atomic revival: A new age for nuclear?

 This week, the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change released a report
declaring, “a new nuclear age is beginning,” arguing that nuclear power
is critical in meeting global climate goals. But how is this renaissance
different from earlier proclamations of an atomic revival?

In this episode, Richard talks with report co-author Tone Langengen about the case for a
nuclear revival and the hurdles still in its way. Joining the discussion is
nuclear expert Paul Dorfman, who questions whether nuclear can truly
compete with renewables. They cover the potential of small modular reactors
(SMRs), the challenges of cost overruns, and whether nuclear and renewables
can work together to create a resilient, low-carbon grid.
