概要

In this episode


Our host Stuart Broadley speaks with Professor Paul Howarth CBE, one of the UK’s leading voices on nuclear energy, about why nuclear has re-emerged as a strategic priority for governments, industry and global technology companies.

The discussion traces Paul’s journey from fusion research to leading the UK National Nuclear Laboratory, before turning to the forces driving nuclear’s resurgence from net zero commitments and geopolitical instability to the rapid expansion of data centers and artificial intelligence. Stuart and Paul unpack the challenges facing nuclear today, including high upfront capital costs, supply chain constraints, skills shortages and the need for long-term policy certainty.

They explore how SMRs and advanced modular reactors could unlock new markets, lower costs through fleet deployment, and provide firm, dispatchable power alongside renewables. The conversation also considers nuclear’s role in sovereign energy capability, industrial strategy, and why decisions taken in the next decade will shape the UK’s energy system for generations to come.
