Not your grandpa’s nuclear reactors

In our first ever guest interview, we talk with Dr. Dorel Obada, a Nuclear Safety Engineer, on the topic of Nuclear Power. Why has nuclear power received such a bad name, was it justified and what new technologies can we expect in the coming years? We get a real insiders view on the current state of nuclear energy and a look ahead into the future of this controversial technology.
