Global partnerships advance the nuclear enterprise, demonstrating commitment to energy security, supply chain buildout, and economic and human development. Collaborations remain imperative, keeping these things in mind:
Approximately half of the 400-GW reactor fleet will be retiring by 2040.1
The forecasted need for new nuclear is 300–600 GW by 2050.
There is a need to counter the build-own-operate model.2
Appropriate funding and financing mechanisms are needed.
Host country regulatory oversight is paramount.
By 2050, there will be 4 million nuclear professionals supporting the industry.3
