Heard at Heritage The Power Hour | Powering America’s Reactors and Recycling Spent Fuel with Jean-Luc Palayer
The Power Hour is a weekly podcast that discusses the day’s most interesting energy and environmental policy issues with top national experts. Most of us agree that nuclear energy is safe, reliable, and clean. But one question that remains in the United States is what to do with the waste. One country that is well on its way to solving that problem is France and part of their solution is recycling it and the company that provides that service is Orano. Orano doesn’t just do work in France but are an important part of America’s commercial nuclear industry that is why Jack is excited to welcome Orano-USA CEO Jean-Luc Palayer to the Power Hour. Join Jack and Jean-Luc for a full ranging discussion on fueling American’s reactors, the potential for recycling the spent fuel to help manage nuclear waste in the United States, and much more.
As always, you can join the conversation at thepowerhour@heritage.org! Check out Jack’s book, Nuclear Revolution, and our nuclear energy documentary, Powering America, where you can see footage from France’s recycling facility .
