Episode 025: John Gorman and nuclear energy in Canada

Recorded on Zoom in mid-September 2020, episode 25 is a continuation of a series of conversations on the technologies that will power Canada in the future. The featured discussion is with John Gorman, the President and CEO of the Canadian Nuclear Association. In my conversation with John, we discuss nuclear’s place in Canada’s energy’s mix today and in the future, the imminent arrival of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), nuclear waste, and the production of medical isotopes. And like many previous podcasts, we close the conversation with some book recommendations from John, who is himself an author.
