Can the US actually achieve a nuclear revival? A new report from the Nuclear Scaling Initiative maps out the path to success. (Canary Media)
As energy demand surges, the US is backing multiple new reactor designs. The issue? They’re all competing for a small pool of skilled workers and limited equipment output. The solution? The industry needs to pick fewer horses with proven designs and simplified supply chains, the NSI report says.
The winning pony: Westinghouse’s AP1000. It’s the only GW-scale design licensed, built, and operating in the US, and it comes with a well-established supply chain.
