How the nuclear market can be restructured and reimagined to effectively tackle industrial decarbonisation and the energy transition

In this episode we look to a very specific nuclear technology that reuses nuclear waste. You’ll hear from Andrew Murdoch, the Managing Director of UK Ops for newcleo as he talks through the structural and market changes that would support wider use of nuclear as a clean energy.

Key takeaways to listen out for:

• What it takes to create a zero carbon nuclear SMR plant?
• How the technology originated – what were the roots of resuing nuclear waste as a fuel?
• You’ll hear about the timeline to selling the first clean power from newcleo’s tech?
• Which markets or offtakers are signing MOUs and most likely to support the growth of this market?
• Acquiring companies along the value chain – what’s the plan and how does it support expansion?
