Expanded Manufacturing Capacity Needed to Support New Nuclear Plant Construction
This fact sheet details the infrastructure challenges that the nuclear industry faces as it prepares to build new nuclear plants. Infrastructure for building new plants has diminished because few plants have been built outside of Asia in recent years. As a result, the industry may face difficulties obtaining the components necessary to build new nuclear plants, as well as experienced construction management, engineering personnel and skilled workers. The fact sheet outlines an NEI study that provides recommendations to minimize the potential constraints on new-plant construction.
