QUOTABLE:

"Energy could be one of the most significant economic drivers for the next two decades. The benefits of such expansion are staggering when one considers the labor force and supply chain needed for construction and operation of power plants, transmission grids and environmental compliance technology on fossil-fueled power plants."

- Marvin Fertel
NEI President and CEO

Key Issues

Nuclear Supply Chain

There are 104 nuclear reactors operating in the United States today, and the industry has submitted license applications to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for multiple new reactors. Several billion dollars have already been spent on new plant activities, including the ordering of long-lead components
.
From the earliest stages of development, the successful construction of new plants depends on a robust supply chain to support nuclear manufacturing.  Nuclear plants are comprised of hundreds of components and subcomponents, whose construction will require a deep and diverse supplier base. 

Nuclear manufacturers supply the concrete, pumps, wires, instruments and many other components necessary to support current and future nuclear power projects.

Supply Chain Facts and Figures


 

 
Impact on Job Creation and Economic Growth
The nuclear industry has an unprecedented opportunity to expand the nuclear manufacturing base in the United States and open new international markets to domestic suppliers. Firms have the potential to expand production and repurpose existing infrastructure to re-emerge as world leaders in the nuclear industry. In the process, nuclear manufacturers can contribute substantially to domestic job creation, economic development and the reduction of greenhouse gases.

Government Programs and Export Controls
NEI works with its members to pursue policy initiatives which support the expansion of nuclear manufacturing. Interaction with the federal government and state organizations is a key to promoting the development of the U.S. nuclear supply chain and expanding export opportunities for U.S. nuclear suppliers.

Nuclear Technology Exports
Worldwide, 70 new nuclear energy facilities are under construction, and an additional 160 are in the licensing and advanced planning stages. The demand for high-quality commodities, components and services provides an export opportunity for U.S. manufacturers.

Resources for New Market Entrants
As a result of the resurgence of nuclear across the country and around the world, many new manufacturers are entering the industry. Significant opportunities are available for companies interested in serving this growing market. It is NEI’s goal to provide new entrants with the information they need to successfully integrate their products into the nuclear supply chain.
