Guide aims to ‘unlock mainstream finance’ for nuclear

WNN, Tuesday, 8 September 2026

The World Nuclear Investment Guide sets out the value nuclear provides to energy systems, as well as providing practical guidance and checklists for governments and project teams and proposed developer and investment models.

The full guide, which has been published two months after the launch of its initial Roadmaps to Mainstream Finance section, was prompted by the need to secure investment estimated at USD6 trillion by 2050 – or an average of USD250 billion a year – if global nuclear capacity is going to achieve the widely shared goal of at least tripling by 2050.

The three new sections include Nuclear Must Knows, which aims to highlight “the full value nuclear provides to energy systems, including energy security, reliability and decarbonisation, and puts risks in context to show how the industry is evolving”.

The Investment Readiness section “provides practical guidance and checklists for governments and project developers, emphasising that technical, financial and project readiness must progress in parallel if projects are to attract investment”……………………………………………………………………………https://www.world-nuclear-news.org/articles/guide-aims-to-unlock-mainstream-finance-for-nuclear
