The nuclear industry is at a turning point. In a post-Fukushima environment and with a changing industry structure, new technologies and new sources of competition, one of the key challenges for the future of the industry is its ability to develop and access new sources of finance. While the focus today is on export credit agency finance, new sources of finance and project models need consideration.

In this context, how well positioned is the nuclear industry to attract such new sources of finance? Is the development of the industry stifled through misperceptions which inhibit its ability to articulate an attractive case for nuclear finance?
