Beau Kaufman investigates how three historic developments—regulatory approval, a federal nuclear strategy, and the pouring of the Darlington SMR base mat—unfolded in days with almost no mainstream coverage. The episode explains the BWRX-300 technology, the real cost math behind the $20.9B headline, the coordinated opposition funding and tactics delaying nuclear, and why this SMR could reshape Canada’s energy sovereignty and global exports for decades.
