Ep 248: Sainati Tristano, University of Leeds

Sainati Tristano joins Bret on the latest episode of Titans of Nuclear. 1) How Tristano Sainati transitioned from engineering to nuclear licensing regulation and what nuclear licensing frameworks are. 2) The prescriptive-based approach and performance-based approach to nuclear regulatory frameworks and how they may discourage innovation and nuclear competitiveness against other energy sources 3) The history of how international nuclear regulation began, spurred by the Chernobyl accident, and the lasting effects of a conservative approach to nuclear safety even today 4) How the future of nuclear power depends upon a perspective shift from innovation to legislation, requires mass production to reduce nuclear cost, needs a climate change led strategy, and requires governments to be brave.
