Atomic Insights

Atomic energy technology, politics, and perceptions from a nuclear energy insider who served as a US nuclear submarine engineer officer

Atomic Show #282 – Chris Keefer, Decouple Podcast

October 4, 2020 By Rod Adams

Dr. Chris Keefer

Chris Keefer is the creator and host of the Decouple Podcast. He is an emergency room doctor whose activist bent and desire to make the world a better place has led him to become a nuclear energy proponent.

Chris is the founder and a director of an organization called Doctors for Nuclear Energy.

One of his biggest current efforts is serving as the co-director of #SavePickering, an initiative open to all who want to save and refurbish the Pickering nuclear power plant in his native Ontario.

That plant is a 6 unit facility currently rated at just under 3 GWe. It is one of the primary tools enabling Ontario to have one of the cleanest electricity grids in the world, with almost no contributions from any fossil fuels.

But it is currently scheduled to be closed. As is often the case in North America, most of Pickering’s electricity production will be replaced by generators that burn natural gas.

Chris and I chatted about our shared interests in nuclear energy, protecting nature and empowering humans to achieve greater prosperity. We agreed that increasing access to clean, reliable, abundant electricity is a key to achieving our goals.

I think you will enjoy the show. Please let us know what you think by participating in the comment thread.
