Alex Chalmers, researcher and writer on energy regulation, and Ben Southwood, policy and energy commentator, dive into nuclear history and national contrasts. They explore why costs soared, France’s large-scale success, safety rules that inflated price, public fear of radiation, and whether small modular reactors or policy fixes could revive nuclear’s role.
