For the purposes of this project, the Nuclear Energy Industry will be defined as all activities that make up the nuclear fuel cycle: uranium mining, conversion and enrichment, electricity production, the management of nuclear fuel-waste, and nuclear research and development (dealing with energy production or other uses, including medical).
INDUSTRY OPPORTUNITIES
New business collaborations between existing GPA firms could lead to new business development opportunities. These collaborations are most likely to occur where GPA firms are already active in a particular element of the supply chain or are interested in becoming active in the element. Collaborations can occur within or across elements of the supply chain. Below is a list that ranks the elements of the supply chain with respect to the number of active or interested firms in the element. This list is a ranking of the fields where the most likely collaborations are to occur.
- Machining, Fabrication and Mechanical Equipment and Components.
- Calibration, Measuring and Testing Equipment, Electrical Equipment & Components and Equipment Qualification & Testing.
- Contracting, Project management, Engineering Services and Industrial Maintenance.
- Nuclear Fuel-Waste Management.
Gaps
- Nuclear-based Products.
- Uranium Mining, Conversion and Enrichment.
- Fluid Control Equipment, Instrumentation and Information Technology.
- Nuclear Research and Development.
- Chemicals and Radiation Shielding Product.
- Environmental Compliance.
Supply Chain mapping has identified elements that are either underserved, or not served, by SMEs in the GPA. It may be possible for GPA SMEs to fill these gaps independently, collaborate with other GPA firms, or collaborate with firms outside the GPA to fill these gaps. This list is not in rank order.
