About Michael
I'm Nuclear energy advisor with 20 years in safety, licensing, and fuel strategy. Work spans Westinghouse, San Onofre, the mPower SMR startup, and serving as technical director at the UAE’s Barakah program, one of the world’s largest new-builds.
Through AtomicBlender, my focus is making nuclear understandable for policymakers, investors, and the public.
I'm known for translating complex nuclear issues into clear, actionable insight.
Helping leaders, investors, and media navigate the future of nuclear energy
I advise on advanced reactors and SMRs, new reactor deployment, and the strategic use of AI in nuclear energy. I help clients understand evolving regulatory frameworks, international licensing practices, and the advances of Russia and China in global nuclear development.
I also support work on nuclear fuels and supply chains, export control, IP, workforce development, and public messaging.
