Advanced Methods of Nuclear Power Plant Construction: Strategy, Technologies and Prospects for Implementation in Global and Russian Contexts
This strategic report constitutes an expert analysis of global trends in the field of advanced construction technologies (ACT) for nuclear energy, focused on the American initiative Advanced Construction Technology Initiative (ACTI) of the Idaho National Laboratory (INL), as well as a critical assessment of the prospects for their deployment in the Russian Federation (RF) in the context of economic and regulatory challenges.
The key finding of the report is that the cost of constructing nuclear power plants (NPPs) and the risk of schedule slippage are the main factors determining total deployment costs, with a historical average cost overrun reaching 120%.1 To transform nuclear energy, it is necessary to shift the focus from purely technical innovations to regulatory and manufacturing efficiency.
