Nuclear power has become increasingly popular with utilities, large offtakers and the general public. From uprates and plant restarts to next-generation reactor designs, nuclear is poised to expand its role in the energy mix. Several actions will likely need to be considered across financing, supply chain and regulation for the industry to scale up significantly.
