Industry Infographic: Nuclear Plant Digitalization


Industry Infographic: Nuclear Plant Digitalization


The nuclear industry is undergoing a lot of changes in the face of increasingly subsidized competition, and aging fleet and high operating costs. Despite industry bodies having put together several programs to help utilities minimize their costs and renew plant licenses, the future for civil nuclear remains uncertain. With an unprecedented number of early closures and the constraints of complicated regulations, the time to modernize nuclear plants and make them more efficient and competitive is upon us.
Nuclear Energy Insider has put together an infographic that quickly spans all the factors that will impact the foundation of your digital strategy.

The infographic outlines business critical information, including what your competitors are investing in, and the ROI being received from digital.
Highlights include:
  • In some places NPP operating costs have risen by 30% in the last few years: The industry invests about $7.5 billion per year in maintenance and upgrades of the plants.
  • Delivering the Nuclear Promise result: The NEI has declared the initiative a success, with U.S. Nuclear Plant operating costs reduced by 19% since 2012 and achieved $1.6 billion in savings.
  • Most challenging aspects of testing digital implementation: Integration services (including local, private, and public cloud), Multi-channel interface (mobile, social, traditional), Data and Service orchestration, End-to-end workflows
