Book/Printed Material Market competition in the nuclear industry

Title

• Market competition in the nuclear industry

Summary

• Nuclear power plants require a wide variety of specialized equipment, materials and services for their construction, operation and fueling. There has been much consolidation and retrenchment in the nuclear industry since the 1980s, with the emergence of some large global nuclear companies. Electricity market liberalization in many OECD countries has meanwhile placed nuclear plant operators under increased competitive pressure. These structural changes in both the producer and consumer sides of the nuclear industry have had implications for the level of competition in the nuclear engineering and fuel cycle markets. With renewed expansion of nuclear power now anticipated, this study examines competition in the major nuclear industry sectors at present, and how this may change with a significant upturn in demand.--Publisher's description.
