Why are we 3D printing nuclear fuel at Chalk River Labs? It’s a question we’re answering this episode with fuel scientist Anil Prasad, who’s leading a ground-breaking project that uses 3D printing technology to create more efficient fuel pellets. Listen in, and you’ll learn why they’re doing this research in the first place and how it could affect the nuclear industry as we head into the future. We even discuss how the team makes their own radioactive printing filament – which apparently is a lot like making pizza?
