What are the major factors driving growth in the nuclear power reactor decommissioning market?
The increased concern for environmental issues is anticipated to enhance the development of the nuclear power reactor decommissioning market. This concern refers to the escalating alertness about environmental matters. Nuclear power plants (NPPs) are employed for carbon-free electricity generation due to their exceptional reliability, vast clean-air compliance value, and significant power generation capacity. Decommissioning signifies the procedure of extracting nuclear fuel from a nuclear power plant and aiding in the cessation of operating licenses. For example, in March 2024, as per a report from the American Lung Association, a US-based independent non-government organization, in 2022, there was a rise of 11.7 million people living in counties with unhealthy ozone or particle pollution levels, making 131.2 million individuals or about 40% of the U.S. population. Thus, the growing concern for environmental issues is spurring the development of the nuclear power reactor decommissioning market.
