Dr. Curtis Smith of MIT, a leading authority on probabilistic risk assessment, joins Priyanca Ford to explore why many now call this a golden age of nuclear energy. They discuss what fusion can learn from decades of fission safety engineering, why regulators are treating fusion systems more like particle accelerators, and how advanced modeling, AI, and heat-storage technology could reshape clean-energy systems.
