<p>In this episode, NENSC Co-Chair <strong>Daniel Poneman</strong> sits down with <strong>Susan Eisenhower</strong> — national security strategist, acclaimed author of How Ike Led, and granddaughter of President Dwight D. Eisenhower — for a wide-ranging conversation spanning more than seventy years of nuclear history, from her grandfather's landmark Atoms for Peace address to the demands of today's nuclear moment. </p><p>Drawing on decades advising on nuclear policy, energy, and U.S.–Russia relations, Eisenhower makes the case for nuclear as the 24/7 answer to surging electricity and AI-driven demand, explains why American leadership and global engagement are central to managing proliferation risks, and offers candid lessons on how the industry can finally tell its story to the public.
