Nuclear Energy Market News

  • In February 2022, France revealed intentions to construct six new nuclear power reactors and commission an additional eight units, alongside advancing the development of small modular reactors. These initiatives aim to bolster the country's carbon-free energy capacity while curbing energy demand. Furthermore, numerous nuclear power projects are either under construction or in the planning stages globally, indicating substantial market development in the nuclear energy sector in the foreseeable future. 
  • Also in February 2022, the state-owned China National Nuclear Corp. (CNNC) inked a contract with the Argentine government to construct the Atucha III nuclear power plant, utilizing China's Hualong One technology. Valued at USD 8 billion, this agreement marks a revival of a previously stalled deal and is poised to enhance nuclear capacities within Argentina. Atucha III is projected to generate a gross power output of 1,200 MW with an initial operational lifespan of 60 years, contributing significantly to the expansion of nuclear energy resources in the country. 
  • Additionally, in February 2022, West Virginia Governor Jim Justice ratified legislation abolishing the United States' prohibition on nuclear power plant construction. As the second-largest coal producer in the nation, West Virginia has historically relied heavily on coal for energy production, accounting for approximately 5% of the country's total energy output in 2020. However, the state is now exploring diversification strategies, including a shift towards nuclear power, to reduce dependence on coal and embrace cleaner energy alternatives.
