The nuclear waste disposal sector faces a long-term, multi-billion dollar demand, but regulatory hurdles and public perception remain key challenges. Nelson’s experience in navigating complex financial landscapes and stakeholder relationships will be essential for Deep Isolation to capitalize on this opportunity.
