NEW DELHI: More than 100 companies across over 40 states are expected to benefit from the supply-chain build-out. Officials said seven utilities and energy companies have already signed letters of intent, though only five projects will initially be selected.
Westinghouse’s AP1000 reactors are already operating at the Vogtle nuclear plant in Georgia, where Units 3 and 4 entered service after years of delays and cost overruns.
Administration officials said lessons from those projects, along with a standardised design and rebuilt supply chain, should help reduce costs and improve construction timelines for future reactors.
In the United States, nuclear power is provided by 94 commercial reactors with a net capacity of 97 gigawatts (GW), with 63 pressurized water reactors and 31 boiling water reactors.
