At 2:13 AM in Waynesboro, Georgia, crews were already deep into a process they couldn’t stop. For 41 continuous hours, concrete flowed into the basemat of Vogtle Unit 4, the foundation that would anchor one of the newest
I Asked If Solar Could Power California… and It Got Complicated What started as a simple question turned into a full-blown debate: If solar panels and batteries are getting so good… why does California still need nuclear
What happens when an environmentalist changes their mind about nuclear energy? In this episode of Naked Nuclear , Danielle sits down with Zion Lights, environmental advocate, award-winning science communicator, and autho
When people talk about building nuclear power plants, the conversation usually centers on policy, engineering, and billion-dollar infrastructure. But reactors aren’t built in conference rooms. They’re built by craft work
What an EPC Actually Does: Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Explained What does it actually take to build a nuclear power plant ? In this After-Pop! episode of Naked Nuclear , Danielle breaks down one of the mo
Nuclear power is often described as essential for climate goals, grid reliability, and energy security. But here’s the real question: Can we actually build it safely, on time, and on budget? In this episode of Naked Nucl
