The owners and operators of commercial reactors in the U.S. are planning for a larger and longer-lasting fleet. A recent survey of utility companies from the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) highlights rising interest in new reactors and expectations for operating lives beyond 80 years.

Investors usually focus on reactor developers and uranium miners when deciding on allocations for investing in the nuclear renaissance. A narrow view on the nuclear sector could result in missed opportunities for investment returns in nuclear-adjacent companies.

Two of the most significant government-led nuclear energy programs are illustrating how quickly the advanced nuclear field is expanding. The Nuclear Energy Launch Pad added 13 reactor and fuel cycle technology projects to its development pipeline.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has given X-Energy (XE) up to $1 billion in additional public funding support for its high-temperature gas-cooled reactor project in Texas. The funding marks another significant federal commitment to advancing next-generation nuclear power generation to meet growing electricity demands.

While there is no shortage of demand from the nuclear renaissance, the rate of deploying new reactors will be determined by the capacity of the supply chain. Expanding capacity for supply chain bottlenecks, such as pump manufacturing and uranium enrichment, is not addressed overnight.

The Department of Energy (DOE) has narrowed the competition for its proposed Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses (NLICs) to five states: Utah, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Idaho. The selection advances an effort that could create new investment and contracting opportunities across nearly every part of the nuclear value chain.
