Episode 49: Nuclear to Scale with Joe Klecha

  • Summary

  • In the last 20 years, the United States has only successfully built one nuclear energy project. So how does startup The Nuclear Company plan to turn the industry on its head?

    In this episode, we are joined by Joe Klecha, Chief Nuclear Officer of The Nuclear Company, to discuss the startup’s ambitious plans to deploy 6 GW of new nuclear power in the next decade. Having played a key role in the development of Southern Company’s Vogtle project, Joe reflects on lessons learned and how the nuclear industry will look much different in the future.

    We cover must-know topics including why nuclear energy is seeing a resurgence in public opinion, how technology will play a key role in lowering costs, why their innovative partnership model is critical to their success, and where the next generation can play a role.

    Keynotes:

    -Why the U.S. stopped building new nuclear, and why need to start again

    -How macro trends like electrification and AI are affecting perceptions of nuclear energy

    -How digitalization and technology will make nuclear energy more cost-effective

    -And much more
