nuclear power industry
Fission-based energy business
The nuclear power industry encompasses the businesses, institutions, and workers involved in generating electricity from nuclear fission.
This includes reactor construction and operation, uranium mining and enrichment, fuel fabrication, and waste management.
The nuclear power industry has seen renewed interest as countries seek low-carbon energy sources.
The industry operates under heavy regulation due to safety concerns and the dual-use nature of nuclear technology.
