Rod Adams: Managing Partner at Nucleation Capital and Publisher of Atomic Insights
A retired commander in the nuclear navy, Rod Adams has spent most of his life working on and around nuclear energy. In his second appearance on the podcast (the first was in December 2020), Rod explains how high interest rates are hurting nuclear startups like NuScale Power, why Georgia Power had such huge cost overruns on the new reactors at Plant Vogtle, why he’s skeptical about fusion, and why, “if you have energy, you can do anything.” (Recorded November 21, 2023.)
