    STARTALK | Solving AI’s Energy Problem with Kathryn Huff

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Are nuclear power plants the key to a sustainable energy future?

    With data centers consuming massive amounts of electricity, can we keep up? Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Gary O’Reilly and Paul Mecurio discuss the physics, safety, and future of nuclear reactors in a world of increasing power demands with nuclear engineer Kathryn Huff. We start by breaking down the basics: fusion vs. fission. How does nuclear stack up against other energy sources? Are past accidents like Chernobyl and Three Mile Island common? Can rebranding nuclear change public perception? Kathryn walks us through the hard numbers, why its energy density makes it an attractive option, and how modern regulations have made it one of the safest power sources. With data centers, AI, and industrial manufacturing driving massive electricity demand, can our energy production keep up? We explore the rise of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and why they may be the future of scalable, local power generation.

    From advanced coolants to molten salt reactors, we explore the next generation of fission that is pushing the boundaries of efficiency. But what about nuclear waste? Kathryn explains how spent fuel recycling could reduce waste and even provide materials for medical imaging. We also examine the geopolitical challenges of uranium sourcing and the need for international collaboration. Plus, what would it take to power your house with its own nuclear reactor? S

    poiler: It’s not as simple as plugging in a Mr. Fusion. Finally, we take a cosmic perspective on energy: Was the future we imagined in the Atomic Age derailed by the rise of information technology? Are we on the cusp of a new energy revolution? All this, plus Neil’s take on the wildest misconceptions about nuclear power, in an electrifying episode you don’t want to miss.
