Episode 06: The (new)clear vision
Five physicists walk into a basement and start brewing beer. What happens next? This month, we meet Ask Løvschall-Jensen, COO and Co-Founder of Seaborg Technologies; the company redesigning nuclear power to make it completely safe and sustainable. Jensen shares his journey from growing up in the ‘Friends of the Earth’ collective, part of the Danish anti-nuclear movement, to becoming a nuclear energy pioneer. We hear how his team is reviving a reactor design from the 60s, combined with masses of computing power, to finally break the planet’s reliance on fossil fuels.
