Summary of Key Points from the Conference Call Industry Overview - **Industry**: Nuclear Power - **Context**: The report discusses the ongoing "Nuclear Renaissance" and its implications for global nuclear capacity and investment opportunities in the sector [6][14]. Core Insights - **Global Nuclear Capacity Projections**: - Under different scenarios, global nuclear capacity is projected to reach 421 GW, 860 GW, and 1,203 GW by 2050, depending on the pace of development and investment in nuclear technology [14]. - China is expected to lead with a capacity of 340 GW under the "Bull case" scenario, while the USA could reach 300 GW [14]. - **Regional Developments**: - **United States**: Strong federal and state support for nuclear power, particularly for data centers. However, challenges remain with large-scale new builds [6]. - **China**: Fastest nuclear buildout, on track to reach 200 GW by 2040, with a focus on substituting thermal power [6]. - **Europe**: Premium-priced nuclear Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) related to data centers are anticipated in the Nordic region [6]. - **Japan**: Plans to expand nuclear capacity to approximately 22.5 GW by fiscal year 2032, with nuclear expected to account for about 20% of electricity supply by fiscal year 2041 [6]. - **India**: Ambitious target of 100 GW by 2047, with a three-stage nuclear power program [6]. - **Investment Opportunities**: - Key stocks exposed to the nuclear sector include Talen Energy, Public Service Enterprise Group, CGN Power, and Vistra Corp, among others [6][24]. Additional Insights - **Nuclear vs. Natural Gas**: - Nuclear power is highlighted as a zero-emission energy source at the point of use, while natural gas, although cleaner than coal, emits more carbon [15]. - The upfront capital costs for nuclear are significantly higher than for natural gas, with estimates ranging from $2,800 to $6,600 per kW for new large reactors compared to $560 to $1,000 per kW for natural gas [15]. - **Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)**: - SMRs are being considered for deployment in various countries, with advantages in terms of shorter construction times and lower upfront costs compared to large reactors [15]. - Only four SMRs are currently in operation globally, indicating a nascent market with potential for growth [21]. - **Market Accessibility for Korea**: - Korea could potentially capture 39% of the global nuclear market, focusing on CEEMA countries and others, with a total addressable market of 135 reactors [20]. Conclusion - The nuclear power industry is poised for significant growth, driven by supportive government policies, technological advancements, and increasing demand for clean energy solutions. Investors are encouraged to consider the outlined opportunities and risks associated with nuclear power investments.
