Elementl Power co-founder David Faherty recently detailed the complexities of bringing new nuclear generation facilities online during a podcast interview. He explained that early-stage site selection, community engagement, and capital formation represent primary hurdles for expanding the domestic commercial nuclear sector today.

Without dedicated project developers to handle these foundational tasks, deploying new commercial reactors will likely face persistent delays despite rising energy demand from industrial customers and utilities.

Elementl Power's David Faherty unpacks the process of bringing a new facility online.

In this episode of Catalyst, Shayle Kann sits down with David Faherty, co-founder of Elementl Power, to walk through the soup-to-nuts playbook for delivering new nuclear projects in the United States. David explains everything from how his team approaches greenfield site screening, why early-stage development capital remains the hardest money to raise, and how portfolio-level structuring could unlock nuclear's elusive learning curve.
