Nuclear Power

Nuclear Power with Sukesh Aghara, PhD

Nuclear power is receiving a lot of attention as states and countries struggle to meet clean energy deployment goals while an "electrify everything" approach to decarbonization drives electricity demand to new highs.  How are today's advanced nuclear (fission) reactors different from the previous generation? Can we overcome resistance to nuclear power? Can nuclear power help meet the needs of new large loads like data centers? Listen to our conversation with Dr. Sukesh Aghara, Professor of Nuclear Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Lowell.
