“The human condition is fundamentally a fight against entropy, and our ability to win is arming us with the ability to manipulate energy. And the more we manipulate and manage energy, the better we’ll be.” Michael Crabb, SVP Commercial at Last Energy joined Mark Hinaman for the latest episode of the Fire2Fission podcast. They discussed Last Energy's background and their mission to build, own, and operate micronuclear power plant, and Michael shared his experience in the energy industry and the challenges faced by the nuclear industry.

Mark Hinaman and Ryan Pickering were excited to interview Heather Feldman for the Fire2Fission Podcast. We spoke of Heather’s experience, the future of nuclear, and all of the incredible work Heather has done to build, promote, and execute the Global Forum for Nuclear Innovation. We’d read about this monumental undertaking, but it was wonderful to hear about the experience first hand from one of the Forum’s brainchild. Thanks again for chatting with us, Heather! Listen on Apple Podcast, Spotify, or YouTube. Full transcript is listed on our website!

“Mass-producing nuclear power plants in shipyards as fully modular floating units with a central workforce that can be fostered and developed, will dramatically reduce construction time and costs.” Mikal Bøe Thanks to CORE POWER (UK) Ltd for hosting the Why Maritime Needs New Nuclear summit today in London. Here’s an inspiring letter from the CEO and host. Our founder, Mark Hinaman, found it inspirational enough to have our team post it publically. It’s yet another proof point for the trajectory of the nuclear industry.

Our founder, Mark Hinaman, will be speaking in Houston at the Enverus Evolve conference in May. If you're in town, register for the conference to chat with him in person!

Chatting with Caleb Tomlin was awesome. Thanks for the love, Craig Stover!

Progress on the licensing front! The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has released new guidance on #advancedreactor licensing processes for non-light-water reactors - essentially non-traditional #nuclear technologies. While historically-prominent nuclear reactor players like Westinghouse Electric Company and GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy have always had a (relatively) clear path toward licensing their light-water reactor designs, this new guidance should greatly enable TerraPower, X-energy, Terrestrial Energy, and Oklo Inc amongst others to gain approvals in the coming years from licensing their reactor technologies. At Fire2Fission, we view regulation as one of the biggest hurdles, if not the biggest hurdle, in the future deployment of reliable, clean, advanced reactor technologies. This news is undoubtedly a big step in the right direction for the entire industry. Thanks for sharing Office of Nuclear Energy, U.S. Department of Energy!

Targeting all sectors! The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) furthers the investments to decarbonize #industry. #Electrification is a huge component of these decarbonization efforts - changing historical fossil fuel emitting processes to electrified work streams. With the influx of electrical processes to displace fossil fuels, the need for #reliableenergy will continue to be more prevalent than ever. Enter #nuclear… advanced reactors have a place to stay in the United States’, and the world’s decarbonization journey.
