The current fleet of U.S. nuclear reactors provide almost 20% of the U.S. electricity supply and over 50% of the emission-free generation. However, due to changing market conditions, many nuclear plants are finding they are not competitive in the overall electricity market. At least three major economic reports over the last few years have indicated many U.S. commercial nuclear plants remain economically challenged and many are in danger of shutting down without federal or state economic assistance.
This session will include industry leaders describing technologies, advanced processes and governance changes that can drive significant operating cost reductions. This panel will also explore how to implement advanced technologies and business processes to realize improved economic performance and operating cost reductions through implementation.
