Fully Charged Show - Is Nuclear Power the Answer to Solving the Climate Crisis?

Since its inception, Nuclear Power has split opinion. Does Nuclear have a place in a Net Zero future? Whilst renewable power such as wind and solar will always come up on top, their intermittency might leave space for this zero carbon, often controversial power source, to make up at least a fraction of the grid. Join Dr Helen Czerski as she finds out more

Engineering with Rosie Live - The True Cost of Renewables - LCOE Calcs with John Poljak, 20012023

This is a follow up livestream from Rosie's recent upload (https://youtu.be/quI_8xYSWYE) on LCOE (levelised cost of energy) from solar, wind, combined cycle gas, geothermal, coal and nuclear. Plus transmission and storage costs needed to integrate a lot of variable renewables into the grid.

AtomicBlender - Will These Small Reactors Revolutionize Nuclear Power? 13122022

Small Modular Reactors, or SMRs, are shaking up how we generate electricity around the world. But how well do they address the problems of traditional nuclear plants? Are they safer, less expensive, producing less nuclear waste, reducing proliferation of nuclear weapons, or just as complex as their bigger brothers? Do SMRs compete with renewables like wind and solar, will we see these new nuclear plants under construction in the near future, and is the nuclear industry ready?

MOXY: The Voice of Women in Infrastructure

MOXY is an online magazine platform targeting millions of women working in infrastructure from highways to alternative energy to broadband and public parks.
