Breaking Green · AI Power Demands Are Rewriting Nuclear Safety with Peter Jones · 15 Jun 2026 podcast

So what you're saying, Peter, is is that even the people who are pro let's just you know, for even people who say, hey, this makes sense given, you know, we we're we're looking at climate change, we we think this is a worthwhile risk.

I I don't agree with that, but but let's just say we think this is a this is a good approach.

Under the current uh uh

initiatives uh of the in administration, there's push within the NRC to do this so haphazardly and so dangerously that even people who who maybe supported legacy projects in the past or or wanted to see uh some sort of uh use of uh nuclear energy or research or utilization of that that that energy uh are saying, hey, what what are you doing?

There are inherent dangers.

That you're ignoring.

What's the chances of them succeeding in doing this, uh deregulating?

Not not necessarily having a successful program or industry, but deregulating.

You talk about sacrifice zones.

If if something does go wrong and and and you spread nuclear contamination, that's not uh toothpaste that can be put back in the tube very easily.

As as a

physicists, could you talk a little bit just maybe about the unique nature of of of, you know

Uh nuclear contamination and I'm not just talking about the gamma or something, but let's just say, you know, stuff gets spread around a neighborhood.

How difficult is that?

What w what does that look like?

Nuclear is just there's so much with it and and the problems, if there is a disaster, it's just so insidious and tenacious and intractable.

These are the words that come to my mind when it comes to a problem.

I I you know it's it's you know, it's a mysterious thing to some people.

I think there's a lot more of a public understanding of what radiation is than in the thirties and forties and fifties and maybe

Even the 60s, but it's almost being sold as uh something green.
