There are currently more than 400 nuclear power reactors in 32 countries, generating about a tenth of the world's electricity.

To discuss we have Jai Mirchandani, founder and portfolio manager at ELM Responsible Investments.

Jai sits down with host Rose Mary Petrass, senior journalist at FS Sustainability, to discuss the timeline, costs, and safety of nuclear power, as well as the geopolitical risks that are associated with this renewable energy source.
