DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Nuclear Industry Value Chain" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This report on the Nuclear Industry Value Chain (NIVC) provides an overview of each of the market sectors within the nuclear industry, including the front-end fuel markets, the overall nuclear reactor sector, as well as the back-end of the fuel cycle. This includes detailed data and analysis of every aspect of the global nuclear markets with balanced perspectives on commercial and technical issues affecting all parts of the value chain.
Although the nuclear industry continues to be impacted by the fallout from the Fukushima accident in March 2011 as well as other shifts in the broader energy markets, such as the shale gas boom in the U.S. and increasing levels of renewables, there are still many reasons for a continued expansion of global nuclear power, especially in key countries like China, India, and parts of the Middle East.
The key arguments for nuclear expansion include rapid growth in electricity demand, increased concerns over greenhouse gas emissions, and a desire by nations to diversify their energy portfolios in the name of "energy security." Now is the time to assess the prospects and future course of each of the market sectors in this evolving, global industry. Each market sector has its own unique characteristics, and this report provides the reader with all the necessary tools to start the process of understanding the opportunities and potential pitfalls within each sector.
Key Questions in the Nuclear Markets Today
The following list presents some of the major issues and concerns that are present in the nuclear energy markets in late 2018. This NIVC report attempts to provide information and analysis to help inform and respond to many of these critical questions:
- Are the nuclear phase-out policies in various countries permanent, or will they realize that turning their back on nuclear may not be in their best interest?
- Can state and federal policies in the U.S. be enacted to keep additional reactors from shutting down?
- Is France's nuclear target to reduce reliance on nuclear power to 50% (down from 75%) achievable? And if so, what time frame will reactor shutdowns occur?
- When and how many of Japan's reactors restart? Can Japan build new reactors in the future to maintain its nuclear capacity level?
- What is causing the slowdown in China's nuclear program and is this a temporary issue or a sign of more trouble in the future?
- Will geopolitics and economic factors impact Russia's domestic reactor program and efforts to export numerous nuclear power plants?
- How can the UK manage the Brexit fallout for its nuclear industry and related international trade?
- Which potential newcomer countries can achieve real progress in developing nuclear power programs?
- Can real progress be made on small modular reactors (SMR) and other advanced reactor designs to make them viable for future deployment?
- What are the competitive positions of the various reactor vendors? Which companies have the upper hand in the current global marketplace?
- Have the uranium, conversion, and enrichment markets hit their bottoms and are the recent price upticks a sign of further upward moves?
- Will the current high level of nuclear fuel inventories lead to rapid dispositions on the part of some utilities?
- Can countries finally make progress with spent nuclear fuel disposal plans?
- Is the decommissioning market primed for fast growth due to all the reactor closures since Fukushima?
