Signature Series research podcast: Understanding nuclear energy with Drs. Andrew Grosvenor and Mehrnaz Mikhchian
Nuclear energy is a growing industry – so what do we need to know about it?
By Matt Olson, Research Profile and ImpactResearchers across the University of Saskatchewan (USask) are exploring the science and policies behind nuclear energy — all the things that make it work, and the best and most responsible ways for society to use it as low carbon energy source alternative to fossil fuels.
Dr. Andrew Grosvenor (PhD), the head of the Department of Chemistry in USask’s College of Arts and Science and one of the co-leads for the Energy and Mineral Resources for a Sustainable Future Signature Area of Research at USask along with Canadian Light Source associate scientist Dr. Mehrnaz Mikhchian (PhD), have delved deeply into research around the mitigation and storage of nuclear waste.
Their research is crucial to the future of nuclear energy in Canada and around the world, and their insights show how USask research is helping to shape that future.
On this episode of the USask Signature Series podcast, we answer the question “What do we need to know about nuclear energy?”
