Historically construction of nuclear power plants has been over budget and over schedule, some materially so, leading to significant financial implications for the companies building them. This challenging nuclear construction history can provide a significant disincentive to companies and countries looking to build new nuclear power plants.
The Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs will host a discussion on how the historical challenges of nuclear power plant construction might be overcome. In particular, we will focus on a recently-completed series of large nuclear industry projects at a wide number of Department of Energy sites across the U.S., including several which were completed ahead of schedule and under budget. The panel includes two leaders of major recent successes, and we will discuss how lessons learned from these projects might provide blueprints for next generation nuclear power construction.
