Fission and the future of renewable energy with Kairos Power
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The word 'atom' stems from the ancient Greek atomon, which means 'uncuttable or that which cannot be divided'. And yet, here we are, creating energy by splitting the atom. Cutting the uncuttable since 1938. This week, Chad Brummett sat down with CTO of Kairos Power, Ed Blandford, to talk about the research they are doing at Mesa del Sol, developing the fuel and 'low-pressure' reactors for low-risk nuclear fission, and why they chose Albuquerque for the next generation renewable energy facility.
