Getting Ready to Scale: Addressing U.S. Nuclear Energy Supply Chain Constraints

The United States is poised for an unprecedented scale-up of nuclear energy — and successfully translating that momentum into deployed capacity is a matter of supply chain readiness, not technology readiness. A recent Nuclear Scaling Initiative (NSI)-commissioned report by Solestiss pinpoints a core supply chain challenge: suppliers are hesitant to invest in building out their capacity without credible, robust demand signals, while utilities and industrial buyers are hesitant to commit to new projects without cost certainty and a proven supply chain. This one-hour webinar unpacks the implications of this dynamic — what it means for fuel, key systems and components, and workforce development — and explore the actions required across industry, government, and finance to build the industrial capacity needed for sustained nuclear energy deployment in the United States.
