Most of us agree that nuclear energy is safe, reliable, and clean. But one question that remains in the United States is what to do with the waste. One country that is well on its way to solving that problem is France and part of their solution is recycling it and the company that provides that service is Orano. Orano doesn’t just do work in France but are an important part of America’s commercial nuclear industry that is why Jack is excited to welcome Orano-USA CEO Jean-Luc Palayer to the Power Hour.
