What do AI and nuclear power have in common? More than you think and your future career may depend on it.

In this episode of the Prime Systems Academy Podcast, we dive into the surprising link between artificial intelligence and America’s aging power grid. From the massive energy demands of AI systems to the urgent need for 24/7 dispatchable power, we explore why nuclear energy is making a serious comeback and how recent policy changes could spark a once-in-a-generation transformation of the U.S. power industry.

Whether you’re an apprentice, a journeyman, or someone just curious about where the world is headed, this episode unpacks:

  • How AI is straining the grid
  • Why renewables can’t meet the 24/7 demand alone
  • The rise of small modular reactors (SMRs)
  • Trump’s bold push to reboot nuclear policy
  • And why the electrical field is about to explode with new opportunity

If you want to be part of the crew building tomorrow’s energy infrastructure, don’t miss this one.
