The Power Hour is a weekly podcast that discusses the day’s most interesting energy and environmental policy issues with top national experts. Join Jack for a wide-ranging discussion with one of the nations top nuclear energy experts, Lake Barrett. Whether it was as the on-site Director for the clean up of the Three Mile Island incident, overseeing the Department of Energy’s nuclear waste office, or advising the private sector on critical nuclear energy issues, Lake Barrett has done it all. Most recently he gathered, along with former NRC Chair Allison MacFarlane, a group of experts to develop a path forward for finally fixing the nation’s decades old nuclear waste conundrum. Lake discusses the new report, which can be found here, along with a bunch of other stories and insights that you don’t want to miss.

As always, you can join the conversation at thepowerhour@heritage.org! Check out Jack’s book, Nuclear Revolution, and our nuclear energy documentary, Powering America, which interestingly features Lake Barrett. Thank you for listening and please don’t forget to subscribe and help us to spread the word.
