By GlobalDataThe Nuclear Company chief nuclear officer Joe Klecha stated: “We look forward to working with partners at the forefront of construction to apply process and digital advancements to nuclear. The United States will lose its leadership position in nuclear power unless we act quickly to build a resilient American supply chain.”
The Nuclear Company aims to address the increasing energy demand in the US, driven by AI data computing, onshoring manufacturing and electrification.
The International Energy Agency forecasts a 30% rise in global electricity demand by 2030. The Nuclear Company’s model seeks to overcome challenges faced by traditional nuclear projects.
The fleet-scale model combines proven, licensed technology with the “design once, build many” approach to lower costs and minimise delays while fostering partnerships with communities, regulators and financial stakeholders.
The company provides safe, reliable electricity at the lowest cost through the development of standardised processes and scheduling to streamline work and reduce delays, including transferring construction expertise from one site to another to enhance efficiency.
The project is supported by an industry working group, including utilities, independent power producers, nuclear technology suppliers and private equity.
The collaboration aims to mitigate risks and enhance the attractiveness of nuclear power investments.
