NUCE 2122 - Summer 2025

Instructions

Submit a 500 work analysis predicting two major events and specific locations that in your estimation have a high probability to occur in the next five years regarding nuclear operating and construction plants

In support of this, review the list of prematurely shutdown nuclear plants, review the new plant licensing status as it exists in several states, review the projected load growth data for the key states we discussed and predict locations where two events associated with additional nuclear plants will occur.

Events to be evaluated:

1. A shutdown plant will be restarted (Do not count Palisades or TMI)
2. A partially completed nuclear plant construction restarted
3. A new contract for a new nuclear plant signed and construction begun.

Evaluate your target locations by:

• their predicted electricity consumption growth;
• the availability of purchased power from a neighboring state;
• the current fuel balance issues faced in that location;
• and any reduction in the number of resource energy plants that were originally scheduled to be constructed per the utility’s strategic plans
