Tony Irwin started working in power plants at 15 and has loved every minute of it.  He is now ‘retired’ - yet busier than ever! - Tony is passionately communicating to the wider community about generating energy from clean emission sources, of which nuclear must be part of the solution.  

Tony believes that the key to moving Australia from one of the worst carbon polluters on the planet to having clean emissions is in Small Nuclear Reactors installed on the sites of decommissioned Coal Fire factories. 

This is a podcast about the engineering challenges that are facing today’s society.
