Interview with Jeff Waksman, program manager for Project Pele on the Decouple Podcast, "Why the U.S. Military Wants Nuclear Reactors" or "Reactors on Wheels":
> This week, Jeff Waksman, program manager for Project Pele, joins me to discuss the impetus for the U.S. military microreactor project, the logistics and energy challenges at the heart of modern warfare, and the technical considerations of mobile microreactor development. Few voices are more qualified to speak on the state-of-the-art in tiny nuclear reactors.
> Project Pele is the Department of Defense's ambitious program to develop a transportable microreactor that can deliver 1-5 megawatts of electrical power for military purposes, designed to fit within four 20-foot shipping containers, capable of being transported by truck to remote or strategic locations. The project represents the most advanced microreactor development effort in the U.S., with hardware already being manufactured and assembly planned to begin in early 2025.
