Westinghouse Projects: Discussions around the U.S. government’s $80 billion initiative to build multiple reactors indicate significant potential upside, but many projects are still not at Final Investment Decision (FID).
Market Dynamics: The company emphasized the importance of not front-running demand with supply, maintaining a disciplined approach to production and contracting.
Conversion Market: There is a focus on securing long-term contracts at favorable prices, with a strategy to maximize the value of existing assets while being cautious about new capacity entering the market.
