Nuclear Power Market, By Application (Energy, Defense, Others), By Reactor Type (Pressurized Water Reactor and Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor, Boiling Water Reactor, High-temperature Gas-cooled Reactor, Liquid Metal Fast, Breeder Reactor, Other Reactor Types), By Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa) - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2028
Nuclear power is derived from nuclear fission, a process which releases enormous amounts of energy from the nuclei of atoms. Most nuclear power plants use enriched uranium as their fuel, as it has a higher amount of U-235 atoms. This makes it easier to split the atoms in a nuclear reactor. This technology is also reliable and does not contribute to climate change. It can be used to power submarines and long human missions to other planets.
Market Dynamics:
Growing demand for clean energy and increasing number of contract for installation of nuclear power plant are major factor augmenting market growth of nuclear power. For instance, The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA's) program, SALTO (Safety Aspects of Long-Term Operation), a service for helping countries with the long-term operation of nuclear power plants, witnessed increased activities in the past few years. As of April 2020, 45 SALTO missions were conducted at 21 nuclear power plants in 17 countries, helping the countries increase the operational lifetime of nuclear power reactors.
On the other hand, intense competition due to renewable source of energy and growing number of accidents in nuclear power plant are projected to hinder the market growth.
