Developing new nuclear power projects is a complex and challenging task. Project development for an energy project involves investing in, coordinating, and executing a range of activities from site selection to licensing and engineering. Technological advances offer the possibility of developing nuclear power projects of a variety of sizes and capital requirements, opening the door for new approaches to project development.
NIA’s new report “New Nuclear Project Development” by NIA Senior Fellow Stephen Greene provides a primer on project development including what roles need to be filled, the stages of project development, and what capabilities are needed to be a project developer. The report is intended to serve as a resource for stakeholders including regulators, congressional staff, media, developers, advocates and others interested in the role of nuclear power in meeting our climate and energy commitments.
