Summary

Reemergence of the Nuclear Industry in the Global Energy Sector

Summary

With the increasing demand for various fuel types, nuclear energy is reemerging in the global energy arena. It would help meet the growing global demand for electricity and provide uninterrupted electricity supply to the energy voracious economies. In this context nuclear would be a viable source for reducing dependency on fossil fuels. This report presents a comprehensive analysis of various sectors of the nuclear energy industry. The report analyses uranium industry development, nuclear reactor technology development, nuclear energy development, investment prospects in nuclear sector, economics of nuclear energy and the major players in the nuclear energy industry. The report analyses nuclear power sector, government policies and the regulatory structure in major nuclear energy producing countries.

Scope

The report examines the growth of nuclear power, economics of the nuclear power generation, reactor technologies, and major players in the field in order to provide a comprehensive understanding about the industry. With the increasing demand for electricity worldwide, nuclear energy can potentially minimize the over dependency of countries on fossil fuels. The carbon emission related to fossil fuel usage also could be addressed by promoting nuclear power generation.

Some of the key areas analyzed in the report are:

  • The uranium reserves and production, and its affordable and uninterrupted supply
  • Development of nuclear power industry.
  • Progress in nuclear technology development.
  • The technological progress made in the nuclear power generation arena
  • The public concerns and government policies towards nuclear energy generation.
  • Advantages of nuclear power over conventional sources
  • Technology for longer life span of nuclear power reactors and efficient fuel usage.
  • Growing nuclear energy generating infrastructure and investment prospects.
