In this episode of UCAN Power’s Advanced Nuclear Podcast, Justin Coleman joins for Part 2 and explores the future of space nuclear reactors and the engineering, technology, and teamwork required to make reliable nuclear power a reality beyond Earth.

Captain Stephen Carmel joins Advanced Nuclear to explore how maritime nuclear technology could reshape commercial shipping, global trade, and U.S. strategic competitiveness. From lessons learned through the NS Savannah to small modular reactors, floating nuclear power, regulation, workforce development, port readiness, and AI, Carmel examines what it will take to build an entire ecosystem around nuclear-powered maritime operations, and why U.S. leadership now could help shape the standards and architecture of this emerging industry.

Former NRC Commissioner Jeffrey S. Merrifield joins Advanced Nuclear for a wide-ranging conversation about the future of nuclear energy in America.

Brad Williams, the former DOE, Senate, and national lab policy leader who helped write the law ending Russian uranium imports, explains exactly where the fuel cycle is fragile and what has to happen next.

NASA, DOE, and the Department of War are all pulling in the same direction - and the result could reshape how America powers the moon, Mars, and beyond. Dr. Justin Coleman sits inside the programs making it happen, and he breaks down how we get from today’s reactor work to a real nuclear future in space.
