Fixing the barriers: How new policies can make U.S. nuclear exports competitive again
The United States has a strong marketplace of ideas on future civil nuclear technology. President Trump wants to see 10 large reactors under construction by 2030 and has discussed making $80 billion available for that objective. Evolutionary small modular reactors based on light water reactor technology are on the market now, and the Tennessee Valley Authority expects a construction permit for a project at its Clinch River Site later this year.

When the first nuclear construction boom came to an end and the industry transitioned to operations, many of the suppliers needed to support the initial construction exited nuclear. In the years leading up to the failed nuclear Renaissance, the industry realizing it lacked the capacity to build dozens of new plants went on a mission to bring new suppliers into nuclear. But is the best solution to capacity new suppliers or encouraging existing suppliers to add capacity? We sit on the precipice of building hundreds of new advanced reactors. What is the best path for the “industry” that consists of both utility operators and suppliers?
