Nuclear Power: Market Analysis and Reports
Small and Medium-Sized Reactors - New Build Market, Policy Analysis, Competitive Landscape and Key Country Analysis to 2025
Summary
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

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.

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
