Support Curious, Serious Conversations About Nuclear

 

Nuclear energy is having a moment.

Not a hype cycle, one backed by DOLLARS.

By 2026, we’re no longer debating whether nuclear belongs in the energy mix. We’re debating how it gets built, who governs it, how it’s financed, and whether the public actually understands what’s going on under the hood.

That’s where Naked Nuclear comes in.

We strip the conversation down.
We ask "how" questions.
And we learn from the people who actually build, regulate, fuel, and operate these systems.

 

Why Our Work Exists?

Nuclear is complex. That’s not the problem.

The problem is we now need the public to join the nuclear workforce. And it can be super intimidating to start. 

Naked Nuclear exists to make nuclear energy accessible, clear, and engaging. 

Your support helps keep these conversations public, educational, and impactful.

 

What We’re Building in 2026

Think of the next year as a guided tour through the nuclear system — not just the physics, but the people, processes, and constraints that shape what gets built.

🎙 Upcoming Podcast Seasons 🎙

Season 3: How to Build a Nuclear Power Plant
From first permit to first kilowatt-hour. We walk through how nuclear projects actually come together — construction, supply chains, manufacturing, commissioning, and operations — with the companies and engineers doing the work.

Season 4: Regulators, Lawyers, and Economists
Because nuclear isn’t just neutrons and steam tables. This season dives into licensing, permitting, finance, risk, insurance, and market design — the invisible systems that determine whether projects move or stall.

Season 5: The Nuclear Fuel Cycle
From uranium mining to enrichment, fabrication, recycling, and waste. We unpack one of the most misunderstood parts of nuclear energy with technical rigor, historical context, and zero fear-mongering.

These seasons are designed to be evergreen resources  episodes you direct others to when the headlines get murky.

Thanks for Staying Curious

Nuclear energy is too important to be explained poorly (or boringly).

Thanks for supporting a podcast that treats the science seriously, the systems honestly, and the audience like adults.
