Ux Consulting Announces India Nuclear Energy Market Report

ROSWELL, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Ux Consulting Company (UxC), the nuclear industry’s leading provider of information services, announces the release of a comprehensive report on India in its series on The Changing Geopolitics of the Nuclear Energy Market.

At 120+ pages, this report provides a detailed review of India’s current and prospective nuclear power program, and nuclear’s place in India’s overall energy picture. The report examines both India’s indigenous reactor program and its plans to import reactors. The role of advanced fuel cycles in India, including planned use of thorium, is detailed. In addition, UxC presents its proprietary forecasts for high, base, and low case nuclear power growth scenarios through 2030, examining the potential outcomes for India’s nuclear expansion plans. These scenarios are also used to present India’s potential requirements for nuclear fuel as well as its reactor market size.

The report identifies and discusses the major and emerging players in India’s nuclear power industry, including a breakdown of relevant government agencies, state-owned companies, and private Indian firms. It also details India’s reactor program, including current reactors, those under construction, and plans for new reactors. The report also looks at India’s nuclear fuel cycle program, including current and prospective uranium production centers, all the way through the back end and India’s plans for long-term spent fuel management and reprocessing. As nonproliferation considerations have played and continue to play an important role in India’s nuclear power development, the report devotes a chapter to the history and the current status of India’s nonproliferation issues and details its international nuclear cooperation agreements, both existing and pending. To provide a complete picture of the Indian situation, the report also discusses India’s international relations, economy, and government structure.

This report and the others in our Geopolitical Series aim to separate the hype from reality and get down to answering serious questions, including:

• How much nuclear capacity and when will they build?
• What technologies will they choose?
• Which companies will be involved?
• What are the factors helping and/or hindering in their nuclear development?
• Where will they get the fuel to power their reactors?
• What impact will their growth in nuclear power have on other countries in the region or the world?

This report will also be supported by periodic updates for the remainder of 2009 to keep clients abreast of further nuclear power developments in India. The price of this report is $4,500, although discounts are available for existing UxC customers.
