Titans of Nuclear

Titans of Nuclear is a podcast featuring interviews with experts on nuclear energy. Host, Bret Kugelmass, is a Stanford MS Mechanical Engineer, robotics entrepreneur, inventor of the internet-connected drone, and climate change thought leader. He has identified both a severe disconnect and steep learning curve between nuclear and tech adjacent communities as impediments to innovation, financing, and social acceptance. Seeking to bridge this gulf he is compiling an audio encyclopedia of the greatest minds in Nuclear Energy opening the field to environmental-minded technologists. INTRODUCTION: The addition of carbon dioxide to our atmosphere is on track to yield permanent and deleterious changes affecting the stability of the environment. The impact of such, has the potential to wreak havoc on our way of life. In the solution set to address such a challenge, only ONE replacement for fossil fuels is... abundant, already deployed at scale, and carbon free. Nuclear power provides 20% of US energy and 10% worldwide; we'll use this podcast to explore the issues of what's holding back one of the world's largest industries from moderate scale up that might stave off the impending climate crises.
