| Expanded Manufacturing Capacity Needed to Support New Nuclear Plant Construction | This fact sheet details the infrastructure challenges that the nuclear industry faces as it prepares to build new nuclear plants. Infrastructure for building new plants has diminished because few plants have been built outside of Asia in recent years. As a result, the industry may face difficulties obtaining the components necessary to build new nuclear plants, as well as experienced construction management, engineering personnel and skilled workers. The fact sheet outlines an NEI study that provides recommendations to minimize the potential constraints on new-plant construction. | Fact Sheet | Apr 1, 2007 |
| Financing New Nuclear Power Plants | This policy brief details the importance of the federal loan guarantee program for the financing of new nuclear power plants. It describes how the program assists new-plant projects without providing government subsidies. | Policy Brief | Apr 23, 2008 |
| Generation IV Nuclear Reactor Diagrams | Generation IV nuclear reactors are those identified by the Generation IV International Forum, which was initiated by the U.S. Department of Energy and has 10 international member countries. Most Gen IV reactors are in the conceptual or experimental stage and are considered deployable around 2030, provided that appropriate development begin now. The Department of Energy document "Overview of Generation IV Technology Roadmap" from September 2002 contains diagrams of six Gen IV reactors. | Graphics and Charts | May 18, 2007 |
