TVA Nuclear Engineering Department Chair Brian Wirth is featured in a documentary discussing how new fuels and materials can shape the future for nuclear energy, making it safer and more viable.
Wirth appears in Episode 4 of The Nuclear Option, a documentary produced by CNA that is now available on the CNA Insider YouTube channel. CNA is an English language Asian news network that is viewed in 29 territories across Asia with a satellite footprint stretching across Asia, the Middle East, and Australia.
The Nuclear Option is a documentary series that explores next-generation reactors, fusion research, and fuel security. It investigates how global nations are rethinking atomic power to meet rising clean energy demands.
During the spring, the CNA documentary film crew visited the University of Tennessee for an hour-long sit-down interview with Wirth in the Zeanah Engineering Complex. The crew also visited scientists in nearby Oak Ridge who are developing advanced fuels to make the next generation of reactors safer.
