In Nuclear Energy Outlook: Global Installed Capacity to 2050 and Beyond the reader will find an evidence-based global assessment of nuclear energy. Tracking nuclear energy projects across the OECD and beyond, the publication examines progress with the long-term operation of existing reactors, large-scale new build and the deployment of small modular reactors. It also reviews the policy and legislative measures shaping project development and progress towards long-term objectives, including the ambition to triple installed nuclear capacity by 2050.
Through four scenarios to 2050 and beyond, the report explores how global nuclear capacity could evolve under different conditions. It identifies the investment frameworks, supply chain capabilities, workforce needs, industrial readiness and international co-operation required to turn ambition into delivery. For governments, industry and stakeholders it offers a clear reference point for understanding the choices that will shape nuclear energy’s potential role in future energy systems.
