Nuclear waste disposal is often seen as a political hurdle, but what if technology could revolutionize how we think about nuclear waste products? Rod Baltzer of Deep Isolation reveals how advanced directional drilling techniques—refined over decades by the oil & gas industry—offer a modular, cost-effective solution to safely bury spent nuclear fuel deep underground. This innovation could reshape spent fuel management and significantly improve the capital efficiency of nuclear waste disposal. Join host Brennan Moore as he and Rod also explore the financial and investment landscape shaping this vital aspect of the nuclear fuel cycle.

What if the future of nuclear fuel lies not in the earth, but in the ocean? Canon Bryan, founder of SuperCritical Materials and co-founder of Terrestrial Energy, explains how his company is pioneering industrial-scale extraction of uranium and critical metals from seawater—unlocking a virtually unlimited fuel source for nuclear energy. Tune in for a primer on uranium enrichment categories (LEU, LEU+, HALEU) and how AI-driven energy demand is reshaping the nuclear landscape.

What does 2026 hold for the nuclear industry?
Andrew Meehan, Nick Touran, and Regis Matzie join host Brennan Moore to share forward-looking views on uranium pricing, SMR approvals, U.S. projects under construction, AP1000 announcements, and the likelihood of IPOs and SPAC activity. The conversation frames which signals investors should watch most closely as nuclear deployment accelerates in 2026.
