Pathway to Commercial Liftoff présente les besoins économiques et industriels pour le rédamarrage du nucléaire aux Etats-Unis. un regard raisonné sur 40 ans de politiques irraisonnées.

Ce rapport très complet a été établi par le DOE (Département de l’Energie) américain.

« Waiting until the mid-2030s to deploy at scale could lead to missing decarbonization targets and/or significant
supply chain overbuild. Rapidly scaling the nuclear industrial base would enable nearer-term decarbonization and increase
capital efficiency. If deployment starts by 2030, ramping annual deployment to 13 GW by 2040 would provide 200 GW by
2050; a five-year delay in scaling the industrial base would require 20+ GW per year to achieve the same 200 GW deployment
and could result in as much as a 50% increase in the capital required ».

Quelques extraits du rapport :

  • These Pathways to Commercial Liftoff reports aim to establish a common fact base and ongoing dialogue with the private
    sector around the path to commercial liftoff for critical clean energy technologies. Their goal is to catalyze more rapid and
    coordinated action across the full technology value chain.
  • U.S. domestic nuclear capacity has the potential to scale from ~100 GW in 2023 to ~300 GW by 2050—driven by
    deployment of advanced nuclear technologies.
