“game;
The message to suppliers is clear: don’t wait if you want to play the nuclear
you need to start now and be proactive, ask questions and ask for help if
it is needed to get your programs up and running.

How to capitalize o n the rapidly growing nuclear component market to drive sales in the US market

SELECTED KEY FINDINGS FROM THIS UNIQUE REPORT…

This independent business intelligence report incorporates insights from in-depth interviews and
surveys with senior executives at nuclear utilities, architect engineers and government officials.

Discover how they see the US nuclear renaissance unfolding and what this will mean for your
component manufacturing business.

This report is packed with useful information you can use to build
your business. For example:
■■ The nuclear new build market for Class 2, 3 and non safety heat exchangers, valves, pumps and
tanks could be worth a cumulative US$ 4.2 billion in the 25 year period between 2010 and 2035
■■ Annual sales of nuclear components for new reactors in the US is forecasted to peak in 2017
■■ By 2035 there could be over 70 GW of new installed nuclear capacity in the USA, this
amounts to approximately 50 new nuclear plants
■■ The amount of N-Stamp qualified nuclear suppliers declined from around 500 in 1970s to
just 269 in 2009
■■ Obtaining financing has been cited as the biggest obstacle for nuclear growth in the US
followed by licensing delays
■■ Nuclear reactor system components make up 23% of the total cost of a Nuclear Reactor

Figure A shows new nuclear capacity in the US could be as high as 50 new nuclear reactors
amounting to 70 GWe by 2035 if all plants are built as scheduled. This would bring about a true
nuclear renaissance, resulting in a total cumulative demand of US$ 4.2 billion in non-heavy
nuclear grade heat exchangers, valves, pumps and tanks. Is your business ready for this surge in
demand for components?

Concerns remain over financing, licensing schedules and the availability of qualified labor. Which
begs the question, will these plans materialize? In this report you’ll find out how the nuclear
industry will evolve and how you can best prepare your business – whatever the outcome.
