Investing in nuclear energy infrastructure could create jobs and spur economic growth, but it has negative implications as well.<\/h2>\n

Jack Shaw, writer and editor at Modded, explores the upsides and downsides of investing in nuclear energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The clean electricity market is largely an economic boon, not just an environmental one. As these markets mature, private investors and large organisations should consider what niches deserve special attention. Nuclear energy is a potential option.<\/p>\n

Nuclear power often takes a backseat to renewables in sustainable energy conversations. Still, it creates no operational greenhouse gas emissions and is not intermittent like wind and solar. Consequently, it could be a promising investment in sustainability and economics. Before making a decision, though, stakeholders should consider the entire picture.<\/p>\n

Positive economic impacts of investing in nuclear energy<\/h3>\n

Like many alternative power sources, investing in nuclear energy infrastructure can produce many positive economic effects. Here are some prominent ones to be aware of.<\/p>\n

Energy market diversity<\/h4>\n

Funding nuclear power would diversify the industry, and diverse markets typically foster strong long-term performance. Low-carbon energy is already a strong market, generating \u00a369.4bn in 2022<\/a> alone \u2014 a 28% growth over the prior year.<\/p>\n

Electrical generation is both the fastest-growing and largest portion of this segment. Fostering diversity within that niche could drive even bigger economic growth. This diversification is particularly impactful because nuclear has unique selling points compared to renewables.<\/p>\n

Nuclear facilities can produce electricity around the clock and without geographic limitations. As a result, it fills performance gaps that wind and solar naturally create. Investing in this solution could lead to a more robust, healthier clean power market as a result.<\/p>\n

High tax revenue<\/h4>\n

The nuclear sector is also a key source of funding for the national government. Electrical generation carries a considerable tax levy, so an expanding industry means additional earnings to back various public projects. Despite not being as prominent an energy source as renewables, nuclear already generates significant tax revenue.<\/p>\n

A 2023 study found the nuclear industry contributes roughly \u00a37.1bn in taxes<\/a> for the UK, primarily in the northwest. Expanding the sector could lead to even higher government funding, both from levies on electrical generation and income taxes from the resulting jobs.<\/p>\n

These taxes, in turn, could promote economic growth in other sectors or provide needed support to lower and middle-class families. In that way, investing in nuclear energy funds a healthier economy as a whole.<\/p>\n

Job creation<\/h4>\n

Another benefit of backing nuclear power is that it creates jobs. Specialised nuclear energy infrastructure must grow to increase the fuel\u2019s electrical generation capacity. Expansion within the industry could create employment in both running these facilities and constructing them.<\/p>\n

The government\u2019s current target of generating 24GWs of nuclear power by 2050 would create an estimated 80,000 additional jobs<\/a> across the UK. Many of these roles are also skilled positions. Working at a nuclear power plant requires specialist training, so positions often pay a considerable wage compared to other energy sector employment.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also worth considering that rural regions are often most impacted by this growth. Job growth and wages are often lower in such places, but introducing additional nuclear infrastructure could provide needed employment opportunities and salary increases.<\/p>\n

Developing niche applications<\/h4>\n

There is also potential to derive value from niche markets within the nuclear energy industry. Atomic power is a unique electricity source thanks to how long it can produce energy from a limited amount of fuel. As a result, it can support several applications that alternatives don\u2019t fit well, which can be profitable investments.<\/p>\n

Military use cases are a prime example. Some naval ships use miniature nuclear reactors to provide electricity over long voyages, and such potential is useful in many other similar applications. Considering the military power supply market is already on track to be worth $20 billion by 2032<\/a>, this segment could prove a valuable long-term investment.<\/p>\n

Remote projects and heavy industrial use cases could also gain much from increased funding in nuclear energy. Early participants in these niche markets may see impressive returns in the future.<\/p>\n

Negative economic impacts of nuclear energy<\/h3>\n

While nuclear energy infrastructure has many positive economic implications, it introduces some challenges, too. Organisations and individuals should be aware of these downsides before funding this market.<\/p>\n

High capital costs<\/h4>\n

As profitable as nuclear power may be in the long term, it carries imposing upfront expenses. Constructing the necessary infrastructure requires significant funding, which may slow economic growth compared to other investment targets.<\/p>\n

Building a nuclear power plant<\/a> is a long, challenging process, with common lead time delays and budget issues. In fact, reactors have the most frequent and severe cost overruns<\/a> of any electrical infrastructure. A troubling 97% of studied nuclear projects encountered such problems.<\/p>\n

Once finished, reactors have relatively low fuel costs, so they break even and produce profits eventually. However, the initial spending it takes to reach that point may discourage some investors, especially if the money could instead go to projects with faster turnaround times.<\/p>\n

High operating costs<\/h4>\n

While atomic fuel expenses are low, this is just a portion of the operational spending necessary to run a reactor. Nuclear energy infrastructure is also expensive to maintain. Even when it becomes profitable, the margins are not as high as some alternatives.<\/p>\n

Operation and maintenance account for roughly 66% of total operating costs<\/a> in today\u2019s nuclear power facilities. Much of this comes from reactors\u2019 sophisticated technology \u2014 which requires specialist care to run and repair \u2014 and high cooling demands.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that such expenses are falling in newer, more efficient facilities. However, the comparatively lower profit margins still mean a long path toward positive returns on investment.<\/p>\n

Taking investment away from renewables<\/h4>\n

The operational and capital cost of nuclear energy is additionally worrisome when considered in light of the overall low-carbon electrical market. Any investment in reactor infrastructure is a decision not to invest in alternatives like renewables. Lower relative funding for such competitors may heighten concerns as the world runs out of time to fight climate change.<\/p>\n

Renewables may be intermittent, but they reach profitability far faster and with less upfront spending than nuclear. Consequently, some may argue wind and solar should be the primary funding focus, as it will accelerate the shift away from fossil fuels. While nuclear energy is also sustainable, its rollout will take longer, even with added investment.<\/p>\n

Of course, the green power transition will need multiple types of electrical generation to meet varying needs. Atomic reactors likely play a role in this diversity, but their long lead times and high costs may make them a less valuable investment in the near term.<\/p>\n

Nuclear power poses complicated economic prospects<\/h3>\n

In light of all these positives and negatives, nuclear power faces an uncertain economic future. Funding this infrastructure will create jobs and support a stronger economy, but the financial and environmental payoff will take time.<\/p>\n

All in all, nuclear energy infrastructure is a promising and important investment opportunity in the long term, but it may not be everyone\u2019s ideal focus. It could be a profitable piece of the whole but not the primary driver of economic growth in the electrical sector, at least for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
