Fleet-scale nuclear developer The Nuclear Company has issued a solicitation of interest to contractors in support of its ambitious 6GW nuclear power project across the US.
The initiative aims to redefine nuclear construction through a fleet-scale deployment approach with a “design once, build many” strategy.
This is interesting. One standard design then rollout them out across the nation!
The Nuclear Company chief nuclear officer Joe Klecha stated: “We look forward to working with partners at the forefront of construction to apply process and digital advancements to nuclear. The United States will lose its leadership position in nuclear power unless we act quickly to build a resilient American supply chain.”
The Nuclear Company aims to address the increasing energy demand in the US, driven by AI data computing, onshoring manufacturing and electrification.
The International Energy Agency forecasts a 30% rise in global electricity demand by 2030. The Nuclear Company’s model seeks to overcome challenges faced by traditional nuclear projects.
30%? I was hoping for more. We need more energy!!!
