Nuclear Power: Reports and Market Analysis
Small and Medium-Sized Reactors - New Build Market, Policy Analysis, Competitive Landscape and Key Country Analysis to 2025
Summary
The report covers the development of Small and Medium sized Reactors (SMRs) in the global nuclear power industry, including growth trajectory and plans for new build. The report provides comprehensive information on the size of the markets for nuclear new build. Apart from demand, the cost of reactors planned to begin operation across the world are also estimated in the report.

The growing demand for electricity across the globe and the need for the development and use of safe, reliable and economical sources of energy are encouraging a number of countries to build new nuclear reactors. However, countries with distributed demand for power are increasingly looking into the construction of multiple smaller or medium sized reactors, instead of installing one large reactor. There are currently around 117 Small and Medium-sized Reactor (SMR) units currently under operation worldwide, while around 72 SMR units are expected to come online in the near future. More than 45 countries across different regions of the world are considering introducing nuclear power generation as part of their energy mix, and many of these countries are looking to install SMRs to this end. The nuclear power programs of these countries will open up numerous opportunities for various players involved in the SMR new-build nuclear market, creating future market potential.

Scope
  • Analysis of the growth of SMRs in the global nuclear industry and the plans for building SMRs in various countries across the globe
  • Analysis of trends in the global nuclear power sector and opportunities in new build SMR market from 2006 to 2012 and forecast for 13 years up to 2025
  • In-depth analysis and forecasts including the size of the nuclear new build SMR market and the growth potential of the market up until 2025
  • Qualitative analysis of market drivers and restraints
  • Qualitative analysis of key regulations impacting the nuclear power industry
  • Analysis of key market players in the industry

Global Nuclear Power Deployment - New-build Market, Policy Analysis, International Cooperation, Competitive Landscape and Key Country Analysis to 2025
Summary
The growing demand for electricity across the globe and the necessity of developing and using safe, reliable and economical sources of energy are encouraging countries to build new nuclear reactors. Globally, there are more than 430 reactor units that are currently under operation and 62 nuclear reactors were in construction stages of development in 14 different nuclear power countries globally, as of July 2013. More than 435 nuclear reactors are in the financed, permitting and announced phases of development across the globe. Over 45 countries are considering introducing nuclear power generation as part of their energy mix across different regions in the world. The nuclear power programs of these countries will open up numerous opportunities for various players involved in the new-build nuclear market, creating a potential market for the foreseeable future.

Scope
  • Analysis of the growth of the global nuclear industry and the plans for building nuclear power reactors in various key regions, including Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America
  • Analysis of trends in the global nuclear power sector and opportunities in the nuclear new build market from 2006 to 2012 and forecast for 13 years up to 2025
  • In-depth analysis and forecasts including the size of the nuclear new build market and the growth potential of the market up until 2025
  • Qualitative analysis of market drivers and restraints
  • Qualitative analysis of key regulations impacting the nuclear power industry
  • Analysis of key market players in the industry

Interim Storage Providing Necessary Leeway to Adopt Proper Spent Nuclear Fuel Management Strategy
Summary
The ambiguity on the eventual treatment of Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) by most of the nuclear power countries stimulates the development of interim storage facilities. It provides sufficient time and storage capacity for the safe, reliable and cost effective management of SNF. Interim storage helps countries to analyze the economics of reprocessing and the direct disposal of SNF to facilitate an appropriate SNF management strategy. Countries which have already formulated their alternative fuel cycles are also benefiting from interim storage as it provides significant economic incentives by reducing the radioactivity levels of SNF. Some countries such as China and India have been conducting research and development for new reactor technology and nuclear programs, in order to use SNF as the future fuel for electricity generation. Interim storage, which leverages these activities, also significantly reduces the proliferation risks and helps to establish a dynamic and transparent SNF management strategy.

Scope
  • The report focuses on the role of interim storage in formulating the strategy for Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) management
  • Identifies the key advantages that the interim storage provides while managing SNF
  • Illustrates different SNF management strategies and the role of interim storage
