Expert Due Diligence for Investors Considering VC Summer Units 2 & 3
Investing in a partially completed nuclear power plant requires more than financial capital. It demands a deep understanding of technical feasibility, regulatory challenges, and the true cost of completion. Nuclear Due Diligence Associates provides investors with unparalleled technical and regulatory expertise to evaluate whether to pursue the acquisition and restart of VC Summer Units 2 and 3.
Unmatched Expertise in Nuclear Plant Restarts
Key Considerations for Investors
Assessing the viability of a nuclear restart goes beyond reviewing previous construction progress. Our experts conduct a comprehensive evaluation of:
- Regulatory and Licensing Viability – Analyzing compliance gaps, NRC expectations, and the feasibility of obtaining an operating license.
- Engineering and Equipment Qualification (EQ) Risk – Assessing installed systems, identifying necessary upgrades, and ensuring compliance with 10CFR50.49 requirements.
- Completion Cost Estimates – Providing realistic financial modeling for remaining construction, equipment retrofits, and regulatory requirements.
- Operational and Maintenance Projections – Evaluating long-term staffing, supply chain constraints, and plant performance expectations.
- Risk Mitigation Strategies – Identifying potential bottlenecks in procurement, licensing, and construction reactivation.
