This includes: fabricators upgrading plants and preparing for rising demand, the massive shifts underway in Central and Eastern Europe's VVER market, the latest push to deploy Accident Tolerant Fuels (ATFs), High Burnup Fuels (HBFs), and LEU+ fuel, the potential for new fabrication plants to be built in certain markets, as well as ongoing preparations for HALEU and related unique fuel designs for small, advanced, and micro reactors (SAMRs). </p> <h3>UxC's <a href="/p/product/report/zirc">Nuclear Grade Zirconium Alloy Market Outlook</a></h3> <a href="/p/product/report/zirc" class="cover float-right ml-3 mb-1"><img src="/img/i/p/cover/cover-zirc.png" alt="Zirc Cover" /></a> <a href="/p/product/report/zirc" class="float-left pr-2"><i class="icon icon-40 icon-zirc"></i></a> <p> UxC has prepared a new special report to provide an overview of the zirconium alloy market for the nuclear industry entitled <i>Nuclear Grade Zirconium Alloy Market Outlook</i>. Nuclear-grade zirconium alloys and products are used in the fabrication of fuel assemblies, which are used in the vast majority of nuclear reactor designs either currently operating, under construction, or planned around the world. As the nuclear renaissance takes hold in countries all over the globe, many questions about the international nuclear supply chain have arisen. The supply of nuclear-grade zirconium - from zircon mineral sand through the cladding and components used in finished fuel assemblies - has also not escaped this scrutiny. Therefore, the primary objective of this report is to factually and analytically approach the current and expected future direction of the nuclear-grade zirconium market to help formulate clear conclusions about how producers of fuel assemblies for nuclear reactors will obtain the necessary zirconium for their finished products. </p> </div> <div v-show="selectedTab === 'r'"> <a href="/p/product/report/npo" class="cover float-right ml-3 mb-1"><img src="/img/i/p/cover/cover-npo.png" alt="NPO Cover" /></a> <h3>UxC's <a href="/p/product/report/npo">Nuclear Power Outlook</a> (NPO)</h3> <a href="/p/product/report/npo" class="float-left pr-2"><i class="icon icon-40 icon-npo"></i></a> <p> The NPO report is the most comprehensive and frequently updated report used by leading companies and institutions around the world to assess the future of the nuclear power market.
