Nuclear Energy Services Business Valuation – How to Value Nuclear Support Providers Using Capacity, Compliance, and Other Key Metrics with Certified Appraisers Across the U.S.

The nuclear energy services market serves nuclear power generation through maintenance, engineering, fuel handling, decommissioning, and waste management. In 2024, the U.S. market is estimated between $30–45 billion, projected to grow to $60–80 billion by 2030, driven by life‑extensions, modular reactor deployment, and heightened focus on low‑carbon baseload energy.


What Makes Nuclear Energy Services Valuation Unique

Valuing a nuclear services provider requires integrating technical capability, regulatory oversight, and long-term commitments:

  • Service Capacity & Reactor Coverage: Number and capacity of nuclear facilities supported, including new build, overhaul, and decommissioning projects.

  • Safety & Compliance Track Record: Licensing, inspections, incident rates, and regulatory history influence risk assessment.

  • Technology and Engineering Expertise: Specializations in reactor types, fuel cycle processes, and remediation techniques add premium value.

  • Long-Term Contracts & Service Agreements: Extended duration agreements for refueling, maintenance, and waste management enhance revenue visibility.

  • Decommissioning & Waste Handling Provisions: Legal requirements and performance guarantees impact reserve funding and operational risk.

  • Supply-Chain & Staff Accreditation: Certifications, training programs, and quality systems are essential for contract eligibility.
