Concerns regarding safe deployment of nuclear technology are encouraging energy companies to focus on waste management. Various accidents in nuclear power plants including Three Mile Island, Fukushima, and Chernobyl have raised the industry safety standards. These accidents have affected the power plant expansion in several economies, such as the U.S. and Europe, and raised safety concerns. Japan has been phasing out nuclear energy on account of these accidents. High storage cost coupled with harmful radioactive wastes generated in power plants is anticipated to hamper market growth in future.
However, rising power plant expansions in Russia and China is anticipated to drive the industry over the forecast period. Depleting fossil fuel reserves and increasing need to reduce energy import bills are expected to positively impact industry growth. Better efficiency of nuclear power plants over thermal power plants is anticipated to drive the market in future.
