In this final episode of the Mission Shunya nuclear energy series, I speak with Ruan Steyn, a nuclear energy expert, about the role nuclear power could play in supporting the AI revolution.
We discuss:
⚡ The scale of AI-driven energy demand and what it means for grids
☢️ Why nuclear is being revisited as a reliable, low-carbon option
📊 The economics and scalability of nuclear compared with alternatives
🌍 What it would take to align nuclear with sustainability goals
From data centers to decarbonization, this episode highlights how nuclear is increasingly being viewed not just as part of the clean energy transition, but as part of the digital transition too.
And a quick update before we close this series: Mission Shunya is now ranked among the top energy transition podcasts worldwide by Feedspot (see the list here)
A big thank you to all listeners for helping make this possible!
