But if we ask what new nuclear reactors have been built recently in North America and are up and running? The answer is the two reactors at the Vogtle plant in Georgia, which use Westinghouse Electric's AP1000 design. In this episode, Dan Testa interviews Grant Isaac , president and COO of Cameco Corp., a uranium mining and production company that is co-owner of Westinghouse Electric. Isaac says the global nuclear industry is making significant improvements in cost and execution when it comes to building new projects and refurbishing existing reactors – and that the pieces are lining up in the US for utilities to invest in new, large nuclear reactors using Westinghouse's AP1000 design.","meta_description":"Much of the current discussion about nuclear power focuses on advanced technologies, from the potential for nuclear fusion to the development of various d…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1422,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/energy-evolution-835633/episodes/cameco-makes-the-case-for-large-nuclear-reactors/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/energy-evolution-835633/cameco-makes-the-case-for-large-nuclear-reactors.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
