Nuclear power operators gain specialized manufacturing capabilities as the industry pivots toward smaller, modular reactor designs

The Hiller grand opening of its new facility and location marks exciting news for the nuclear power industry.

As the energy demand continues to grow, the nuclear power industry is shifting from large base-load nuclear plants to smaller, more compact designs known as small modular reactors. With this shift comes the need for innovative solutions and technologies that can adapt to these new designs. According to recent data, the nuclear power market expects its value to reach $58.4 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 3.5% from 2021 to 2030, highlighting the importance of staying ahead in this dynamic sector.
