  • Abstract
    As the issues that stopped the development of new nuclear plants in the past having been addressed, the prospects for the revival of the US nuclear program have never been better. New designs are cheaper to build and operate, and operators have developed processes and programs to efficiently operate nuclear plants to maximize safety and reliability. Construction time frames appear to be attainable and reliable, and the licensing process has improved to allow significant investments to be made after the license is issued
