Podcast: Ingemar Engkvist on WANO's key industry role, plus nuclear at COP27
01 December 2022
The World Association of Nuclear Operators' CEO Ingemar Engkvist explains how the organisation's members are like a family - plus a report on nuclear's role at the COP27 summit.
The World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO) generally keeps a low public profile, but Engkvist joins us to explain why that low public profile is deliberate, and outlines how its members support each other. He also discusses the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war - with WANO having members from both countries.
Engkvist also shares the story of the very unusual way he first became involved in the nuclear field. And as he comes to the end of his three-year term, he talks about the exciting prospects for nuclear energy in the decades ahead.
