Jack is going nuclear this week once again with his guest, Michael Lee Anderson, who specializes in thorium fueled molten salt reactors. Mike is an author and innovator with decades of experience in the private sector. Mike and Jack cover the horizon on molten salt technology. They discuss everything from how the technology works to why it makes sense in the marketplace to the types of regulatory changes that are necessary for nuclear to reach its potential.
