nuclear power industry has consistently improved performance over the past 20 years. Within these 14 areas, a total of 59 key construction best practices are identified and described.

Documented in this report are the following fourteen (14) areas of construction best practices required for the successful completion of a new nuclear reactor project. Therefore, we used industry expertise to synthesizes the 32 most relevant documents and establish the top strategic project management lessons learned and best practices that experience shows have been key in the successful execution of large complex projects. While many of these reports identify similar lessons learned, they also contain lessons that are not identified in other reports. There have been over 100 documents over the past several decades that have identified the lessons learned from past nuclear reactor construction projects. The purpose of this report is to compile and describe the construction best practices that will reduce construction risk and better enable projects to be built on-time and on-budget. Nuclear energy is firm dispatchable energy that can operate 24/7, making nuclear, renewables and storage resources the perfect partners to achieve zero to very low carbon emissions. electricity generation, and, when viewed as part of a clean energy portfolio, nuclear energy produces over 50% of the zero-carbon emissions electricity. Today, nuclear energy accounts for almost 20% of the U.S. is increasing as more stakeholders recognize the critical role that nuclear energy must play in order to reduce carbon emissions. Interest in deploying new nuclear reactors in the U.S. This approach aligns the objectives of project stakeholders while actively managing risk thereby increasing confidence in the ability to deliver the project to cost and schedule.

This IG-02 discusses how to develop contract strategy and collaborative approaches to project delivery and execution together with an aggressive risk management plan to support project success. Implementation guides (IG) are developed to explain how these best practices can be incorporated into actual new nuclear projects. NEI 20-08, “Strategic Project Management Lessons Learned & Best Practices for New Nuclear Power Construction,” identifies 14 areas of construction best practices, with a total of 59 key construction best practices, that have been critical in the successful execution of large complex projects. The key to long term economic competitiveness with respect to the deployment of nuclear power plants is making both the design and project execution highly standardized reducing both the project schedule and risk. The construction of a nuclear power plant, whether First of a Kind (FOAK) or Nth of a Kind (NOAK) is subject to relatively long project schedules and uncertainty, and FOAK construction has additional elements that add to the overall risk. New Nuclear Power (NNP) projects, including small modular reactor (SMR)/Advanced Reactor (AR) projects will have a long lifecycle with multiple steps prior to authorization and construction.
