The Future of Nuclear — and How to Get in Early

Most of you have never heard of the Zoé reactor.

The CP-1 was the world’s first artificial nuclear reactor that was developed in secret at the University of Chicago back in 1942.

Not that I blame you, of course. Few know that five years after the world’s first nuclear chain reaction occurred in CP-1, construction began on the Zoé reactor in a little suburb in Paris.

Zoé was France’s first heavy-water reactor that was built more than 78 years ago. Within a few years of completion, it was pumping out roughly 150 kW of clean power years later.

Now, when it comes to nuclear power today, the French get all the love.

In fact, the country is regarded as a model for nuclear power from the rest of the world. There’s a good reason why, too. In 2024, the 361.7 Twh of power that French reactors generated supplied slightly more than two-thirds of the country’s total electricity generation.

The thing is, it shouldn’t be.
