Dear Colleague.

As you know, nuclear power is spearheading a global movement towards low emission energy. In the U.S alone there are several clear drivers for a nuclear renaissance including increasing energy demand, concerns over climate change and dependence on overseas energy supply.

The first round of nuclear construction should add seven new reactors to the U.S.'s existing fleet of 104 at a likely cost of more than $40 billion. New plants cost between $5 billion to $12 billion. According to the Electric Power Research Institute, the U.S needs 64 GWe of new nuclear generating capacity by 2030

However, there are critical challenges which need to be overcome in order to realize nuclear energy’s potential. These include:

• Securing Finance • Cost Recovery • Nuclear Supply Chain Development • Licensing Uncertainty • Application Processes • Risk Sharing Agreements • Project Management Best Practice • Contract Structuring

The Nuclear Construction Summit, USA 2009, will focus on high level, strategic issues of risk identification, control and mitigation at every stage of the nuclear construction process. Nuclear Energy Insider’s groundbreaking agenda will give you the answers to all the most relevant issues, delivered by top industry experts:

• Securing financing • Changes in regulation• Government support • Construction Challenges• Project management • Supply chain development• Procurement models • Project Finance

Owners should be taking advantage of today's planning timeframe to prepare for the extremely high level of project intensity that mega-scale nuclear construction projects demand.

Join top level decision makers from across the U.S nuclear industry in Washington this October and equip yourself with the tools to achieve success in nuclear construction. Learn how to finance, plan and execute complex projects in a cost and time efficient manner, saving billions of USD for years to come.

Sign up today and reserve your place at 2009’s most important conference. I look forward to seeing you in Washington this October.

Kindest regards,

James Taylor Director – Nuclear Energy Insider

Senior level decision makers from U.S. Nuclear Owners and Utilities Companies who want to discover the latest technologies and services for planning and executing nuclear construction projects
