DOE announces $17.5B in conditional loans for AP1000 builds
Earlier today, the Department of Energy announced that it has issued a conditional loan commitment to finance the purchase of “long-lead time items needed to rebuild America’s commercial nuclear supply chain.”
The American Nuclear Supply Chain Loans on offer are worth $17.5 billion and intended to help finance up to five projects to build a total of 10 new AP1000 reactors, with construction aimed to begin by 2030.
