Everyone is talking about AI or quantum or space or chips or defense in US v China competition.
What are few talking about? Nuclear reactors. Here's why that is critical.
@MarioNawfal Nuclear power design has improved tremendously with SMRs and an exemplary US operating record over the last 40 years. The technology will continue to improve with new advances in metallurgy and experimentation with advanced reactors.
@MarioNawfal I’ve worked in the nuclear industry my entire professional career. The industry emphasizes a “safety conscious work environment” through open dialogue and a questioning attitude. Questioning data and reaching the correct conclusion is integral to solving problems! #FauciFiles
