Obama’s Pro-nuclear Policy to Benefit Companies across the Nuclear Value Chain

Introduction

On February 1st, 2010, the US President, Barack Obama announced $8.3 billion loan guarantees, to construct two new nuclear reactors in Georgia. The new offer is a part of the $54 billion in guaranteed loans that have been allocated to innovative technologies over the next ten years. If these reactors become operational on schedule, they will further increase what is already the biggest market for nuclear power, uranium and nuclear fuel processing in the US. The addition of new reactors will also create potential opportunities for the companies involved in various parts of the nuclear value chain including reactor design, engineering, procurement and construction, uranium mining and milling companies and nuclear fuel processing companies.
