info_outline Andrew Sherry joins Bret on the latest episode of Titans of Nuclear.
1) Andrew Sherry and Bret Kugelmass discuss nuclear history in the UK starting with magnox power stations and advanced gas-cooled reactors through the “dash for gas” in the 1980s and today's Nuclear Innovation Program.
2) The UK is the first country to agree to net zero carbon emissions by 2050. How nuclear could be an affordable solution by using a fleet approach, advanced manufacturing, and modular construction.
3) Andrew Sherry shares six key ways to promote nuclear innovation and affordability after a cross-sector innovation roundtable including technology, leadership, collaboration, risk, financing, and regulation.
4) How to implement innovation from other sectors and what the nuclear industry can learn from the US space industry and Elon Musk
