CONFERENCE HISTORY

Since running our first Nuclear Construction Conference in Washington D.C. in 2009, Nuclear Energy Insider have brought together over 750 delegates from 388 nuclear construction stakeholders. Below you can find a summary of just a few of those organizations:

MARKET UPDATE - WHY THIS CONFERENCE IS SO CRITICAL

The U.S. is the largest producer of nuclear power, accounting for 30% of worldwide generation.  It is predicted that 4 – 6 new units will come online in the U.S. by 2020, the first if those resulting from 16 license applications made since mid-2007 to build a total of 24 new nuclear reactors.

“Nuclear is going to be an important power generation fuel for the future, it is a low carbon energy source and we believe diversification of energy sources is important.”

Rob Gardner, Manager for Energy and Economics Division, Exxon Mobil Corporate Strategic Planning department. Source: Bloomberg

• 4-6 of these new units will come on line by 2020 at a cost of $20bn +

As well as new commercial power plant projects – there are also a number of additional multi-billion dollar nuclear construction projects underway in the U.S. - totalling an estimated $26.85bn worth of nuclear construction activity. These include:

• The Hanford Waste Treatment Plant which has an estimated budget of $12.2bn
• URENCO’s National Enrichment Facility which has an estimated budget of $3bn
• The MOX Facility at the Savannah River Site which has an estimated budget of $4.8bn
• NNSA Y12 Uranium Processing Facility which has a top end estimated budget of $6.5bn
• The USEC American Centrifuge Plant which has an estimated budget of $350m

What this means for nuclear service providers and manufactures is that there is a project pipeline in the U.S. of an estimated $126.85bn worth of new construction.
