Nuclear Power’s Global Comeback

Nuclear power is re-emerging as a critical player in the global energy mix, offering baseload reliability while supporting long-term decarbonization goals. But with large-scale projects, long permitting timelines, and political uncertainty, is the momentum sustainable?

In this episode of Navigating the Currents of Change, IIR’s Senior Vice President of Power Research Britt Burt and Assistant Vice President Brock Ramey join host Shaheen Chohan to explore the next wave of global nuclear development.

• Where new nuclear capacity is gaining traction
• How re-licensing and in-plant upgrades are shaping CAPEX
• The policy and tax incentives driving, or slowing, momentum
• And how Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are reshaping long-term strategy

Whether you track power projects, investment signals, or global energy policy, this episode will help you decode the signals driving nuclear’s second act.
