 Nuclear power plays a major role in the US energy industry as the country, after coal and natural gas, produces its maximum amount of electricity from nuclear power plants.

Oil and hydropower are the next biggest sources of energy. But the US heavily depends on imported uranium for its nuclear power industry. And with China, India and Russia planning for massive deployments in nuclear power, the country may have tough times ahead in procuring raw material (uranium) for its nuclear reactors, says "US Nuclear Energy Outlook", our recent research report.

This report outlines the growing importance of the US nuclear industry at global level. It analyzes the present status of the industry and assesses the opportunities available for investment.

It thoroughly studies the current market trends and evolving areas in the US nuclear industry, and gives future forecasts on the industry. However, the forecast given in this report is not based on a complex economic model, but is intended as a rough guide to the direction in which the market is likely to move.

Key Findings of the Report
 + At global level, China, Japan, India, the US, Russia and the Republic of Korea are expected to see most significant increase in their installed capacity by 2030.

+ Decision to invest commercially in new nuclear plants will be largely affected by the fossil fuel prices and regulatory environment in the US.

+ Due to deregulation, the US nuclear industry is projected to continue to witness ownership consolidation, presenting opportunities for investors trying to attain synergy.

+ The nuclear plant construction has become extremely expensive with time due to progression to large plants before gaining much experience, failure of the expected economies of scale to materialize, and design changes and equipment retrofit. This may spoil the plans of the US to expand its nuclear power industry.

Key Issues and Facts Analyzed in the Report
 + What are the potential growth area and market opportunities for the US nuclear industry?

+ What is the current state and future prospects for the industry?

+ How are different states performing in the US nuclear industry?

+ What is the scenario of uranium availability in the US?

+ What are the forces challenging the US nuclear industry?
