Dr. Nitendra Singh, a nuclear engineer focused on advanced fuel cycles and fusion policy, joins Priyanca Ford for a clear-eyed look at what stands between today’s experiments and commercial fusion. They dig into the real complexity of tritium breeding and neutron economics, why levelized-cost comparisons are so slippery this early, the honest engineering timelines that regulators and power grids actually allow, and why building a skilled global workforce may be the field’s most underrated challenge.
