James Carlinstein, CEO of Alva Energy and veteran in nuclear project development, dives deep into the failures of America's first nuclear revival. He unveils how cheap shale gas and the fallout from the Fukushima disaster halted progress. With plans for eight AP1000 reactors, James emphasizes the need for strong developer organizations over mere reactor design. He analyzes lessons from the troubled Vogtle and Summer projects and argues that reviving institutional capacity is essential for a successful nuclear comeback in the U.S.
