43 - Jeff Merrifield - The Nuclear Rules Are Changing and What Comes Next
Q: Last question: what's one thing a listener could do this year to help American nuclear?
Engage with local elected officials to educate and advocate for bipartisan understanding of nuclear energy and its role in energy security, since local support often drives policy change.
43 - Jeff Merrifield - The Nuclear Rules Are Changing and What Comes Next
Q: Best advice for a young lawyer or engineer wanting to work in nuclear?
Do thorough research and develop a deep understanding of the technologies you are supporting; being proficient in the technical details elevates the quality of service and advice you can provide.
43 - Jeff Merrifield - The Nuclear Rules Are Changing and What Comes Next
Q: Of all the reactors you've toured, which one stuck with you the most?
Walking on the face of the operating reactor in Lithuania, the same design as Chernobyl, was a memorable, unnerving experience that highlighted the realities of operating nuclear sites.
43 - Jeff Merrifield - The Nuclear Rules Are Changing and What Comes Next
Q: One thing about the NRC that most people don't know.
The NRC oversees not just reactors but also smoke detectors in homes, illustrating how broad and nuanced the agency's regulatory reach can be, which many listeners might not expect.
40 - Nick Smith - The Fuel Behind the Future at Raven-Flint
Q: What policy change could unlock more progress for the US fuel cycle?
Implement a floor price for conversion so the government can buy at a set price, creating stability and avoiding shut-downs when prices dip, which historically caused facilities to idle.
