Plant Life Extension (PLEX) and Plant Life Management (PLIM) for Nuclear Reactors - Global Landscape Analysis to 2020
Summary
GlobalData's latest report, "Plant Life Extension (PLEX) and Plant Life Management (PLIM) for Nuclear Reactors - Global Landscape Analysis to 2020" gives detailed information on the global plant life extension of commercial nuclear power generation facilities. The research covers analysis of the leading countries in the PLEX market. It also gives information about Plant Life Management (PLIM) and its approaches. The key driver for the plant life extension is the increasing demand for electrical power. Averting the cost of new build and the available capacity to operate within stringent safety margins are also driving nuclear facilities to extend the operational life beyond their original design life.
