Nuclear New Build Unveiled

Is Nuclear New Build more a Management than a Technology Challenge?

The new build of nuclear power plants is one of the present day’s most complex technical undertakings and frequently puts owners in the position of facing tremendous financial risks. Inaccurate understanding of projects risks and inaccurate prioritization of critical activities often lead to significant delays and budget overruns. The study "Nuclear New Build Unveiled" analyzes the current status, trends and challenges within the nuclear industry, particularly in the context of many projects being run on very tight time schedules by teams with little or no experience of nuclear new build. The study concludes that, besides its technical complexity, the management issues of a nuclear new build are often underestimated and call for professional management of the venture.
