Rethink Nuclear Expansion Strategy

Evaluate the strategic logic of expanding nuclear power as part of a clean-energy and industrial policy. Discuss the benefits and risks of building multiple new reactors, developing a domestic supply chain, choosing between reactor designs, and pursuing international markets for reactor technology. Include considerations such as safety, cost overruns, public acceptance, workforce development, regulation, and energy security. End by outlining what conditions must be met for a nuclear expansion plan to succeed over several decades.
