Cost Overruns in Nuclear Projects
Definition
Historical nuclear projects like Hinkley Point C show significant delays and over-budget issues, applicable to Australian SMR developments due to similar risks in unproven tech and supply chains.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 10+ billion in cost blowouts per major project (e.g., equivalent to Hinkley Point C overruns)
- Frequency: Per project development (10+ year timelines)
- Root Cause: Unproven SMR commercialisation, supply chain constraints, and lengthy approvals
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Nuclear Electric Power Generation players in Australia 🇦🇺 waste billions on cost overruns in Grid Reliability projects. Automation of modular design and supply chain optimisation eliminates this risk.
