Dear Rational Optimist,
I’ve long said that America’s nuclear renaissance is just beginning. Yet concerns over nuclear waste have terrified the public for decades.

I recently caught up with Carl to discuss why recycling spent fuel is the key to unlocking America’s true nuclear power potential.
In our interview you’ll hear:
Why waste costs will blindside reactor companies
