Resurgence of nuclear power

Key considerations as the nuclear option is re-introduced

The build-out of nuclear power plants represents a major enhancement to the national grid modernization efforts that are taking place throughout the country and national priorities on carbon replacement and reduction of fossil fuel dependence.

But challenges and risks still remain and because it's been so long since nuclear facilities have last been built, there will be a significant learning curve within the business community.
