Nuclear Engineering, Energy Engineering and Project Management podcast with Jacopo Buongiorno
Ask MIT Climate, Hosted by Madison Goldberg
Jacopo Buongiorno examines why construction of nuclear power plants has become expensive in the United States despite the technology’s ability to supply low-carbon electricity continuously. The discussion compares countries with different recent building experience and asks what their industries can teach about controlling costs and delivering projects on schedule.
