Nuclear operators in North America are looking to take advantage of generous clean hydrogen subsidies to diversify and help pay the bills. Generation workhorses, such as Bruce Power’s Nuclear Generating Station in Ontario, Canada and Constellation’s Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station in New York, as well as fourth generation reactor developers, such as Terrestrial Energy, consider themselves …
Building a nuclear power plant is a difficult job. It takes years of planning and sometimes more than a decade to complete. The risk of schedule delays is great, especially on first-of-a-kind projects, and the financial implications of such setbacks can ruin a company. Yet, the Tennessee Valley Authority’s (TVA’s) president and CEO, Jeff Lyash, …
