The Future of Nuclear Energy, hosted by Phil Zeringue

The New Nuclear Workforce: Humans, Robots, and AI Together

AI, robotics, and advanced monitoring systems are no longer future concepts in nuclear. They are here. In this conversation, Phil Zeringue sits down with Josh Bell to explore what happens when you connect the technologies that already exist inside a nuclear plant. From digital twins and autonomous diagnostics to drones in containment and the rise of humanoid robots, this discussion moves beyond theory and into real-world application. They cover: * How robotics is already changing inspection and response * Why AI should augment, not replace, the workforce * What it means to capture and scale decades of nuclear expertise * How risk, safety, and decision-making are starting to shift * And what the nuclear plant of the future could actually look like The takeaway is simple. This is not about what might be possible someday. It is about what is possible now. The question is whether the industry is ready to embrace it.
