Opportunity: Generation III+ Small Modular Reactor Pathway to Deployment

Description 

The nuclear industry today is building new commercialization momentum as utilities and other potential customers see the successful operation of Vogtle Units 3 and 4 and anticipate a sustained load growth into the future. Utilities are seeking and receiving Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licenses to extend reactor operations to 80 years, planning to uprate reactor capacity, reversing plans to close reactors, and restarting formerly shuttered reactors. However, the industry is at a tipping point for the rapid deployment and export of next generation nuclear technologies but must still overcome barriers to achieve commercial viability by securing committed investments in an orderbook of new nuclear projects and standing up the industrial base needed for fleet-level deployment.
