Nuclear Decommissioning Industry Set to Realize its Full Potential

Summary

To date, 19 reactors have been completely decommissioned worldwide. However, around 111 reactors are expected to have entered the decommissioning phase by 2030. The high growth potential of the nuclear decommissioning industry has been supported by rising safety concerns and anti-nuclear public sentiments. These sentiments have resulted in governments in countries such as Germany and Italy initiating the phasing out of nuclear power from their energy generation. As these countries formulate plans to shutdown their nuclear reactors, players in the decommissioning industry are preparing to make the most of this opportunity. As well as decommission resulting from anti-nuclear sentiments, a large number of reactors reaching the end of their operating lives are to be shutdown. These reactors also contribute to the potential of the nuclear decommissioning industry.
