Full Spectrum: Nuclear Power

Description

Full Spectrum: Nuclear Power

How fission becomes firm power, and what stands between the industry and the next reactor.

An institutional volume on how the nuclear industry actually works. It opens with the industry, then works through what it sells and who buys it, the physics of fission and how a plant turns it into electricity, the reactor technologies and the components inside them, and the materials and fuel that gate everything else. Small modular and advanced reactors, the systems that make up a plant, safety, the full fuel cycle, the existing fleet, the data center demand now reaching for nuclear power, and how reactors get financed each get their own chapter. Then manufacturing and construction, the supply chain and value chain, the companies, geography and trade, operations and the aftermarket, regulation and licensing, demand and market size, costs and pricing, innovation, and the forecast.

The volume argues from five conclusions. The existing fleet is the business. Building is the problem, not the reactor. A handful of forges and enrichment plants gate every new unit. Most advanced designs are still waiting on their fuel. And technology buyers are taking power from running reactors now while promising to back new ones later. Every company in an exhibit carries its own logo, and every page carries its source and how firmly the evidence holds.
The reference workbook.

Built to be used rather than read. The scope, taxonomy and definitions the volume relies on, every unsettled point carried as a flagged assumption with its basis, the source register page by page, and a photographs register. Every source in it is free and public.

The forecast model.

World nuclear capacity and spending through 2035 in constant dollars, built from the fleet up. Conservative, Base and Upside are computed side by side rather than toggled, and the model shows which driver moves the answer most. The formulas are live: every driver is an input you can change, and the model recomputes.
You receive: the volume as a PDF and as a PowerPoint, the reference workbook, the forecast model, and a slide by slide guide to the volume.
