Bankable! Women in Nuclear, Ukraine

This is the first Bankable! podcast to showcase the Ukrainian chapter of Women in Nuclear. https://win-ukraine.org.ua/home/, represented by:🇺🇦 Margaryta Rayet, President of Women in Nuclear Ukraine🇺🇦 Alona Zavorotnia, Engineer-Programmer at South Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant; and🇺🇦 Renata Iaresko, Founder & CEO of CommsTrue Agency.With up to 55% of Ukrainian electricity needs reportedly met today by four nuclear power plants comprising 15 fission units generating 13.8MW of power, this nation has relied on nuclear power since 1977. Its fifth plant, at Chornobyl, is no longer operational with the site now hosting the nation’s Centralized Spent Fuel Storage Facility. The invasion of the country’s borders on February 24, 2023, disrupted global energy sources, spiked electricity prices and has since evoked a reckoning by many nations of Energy Security. The three guests in this episode not only showcase resilience but highlight how they envisage their nation playing a leading role in nuclear development — gigawatt and modular — by highlighting the value of collaboration in science and technology, without borders. “Nuclear, not just technology but an opportunity to invest in a better, safer, more inclusive future.”And here’s a thought for consideration: SMRs in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/focus/chernobyl/faqs.References Cited During the Conversation: https://win-ukraine.org.ua/the-presentation-of-the-first-volume-of-the-book-voices-of-ukraine-took-place-in-vienna/https://www.wins.org/wins-launches-vou2-in-kyiv/.https://win-ukraine.org.ua/the-resilience-of-women-in-ukraines-nuclear-energy-sector/https://win-ukraine.org.ua/exhibition-empowering-radiance/.https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLL_IoQB9NOuZc6xvUD-zt9eYc6pfn-SR3&feature=shared  “ …resilience not just a concept … we cannot pause our lives … we know exactly the price of this life.” Subscribe to Bankable! at https://frescocleantech.solutions/All comments expressed on the show are strictly owned by the speaker and do not in any way represent a position held by Fresco CleanTech Solutions, unless advised otherwise.
