Barnes Reports' Global Manufacturing & Makets report series provide estimates of the size and
characteristics of the largest equipment, materials and consumables by manufacturing industries
in the largest 140 global countries. These estimates are produced by a proprietary economic
model that is based on a number of sources and factors:
Nuclear decommissioning is dismantling a nuclear facility, so it no longer requires radiation protection measures. The presence of radioactive material necessitates potentially hazardous, expensive, time-consuming processes and presents environmental risks that must be addressed to ensure radioactive materials are either transported elsewhere for storage or stored on-site safely. The high risk of accidents and lessons from historic events can boost the demand in the nuclear decommissioning market. Furthermore, the increasing pressure from environmental groups due to public concerns related to nuclear reactor operations and hazards from radioactive wastes may increase the demand in the nuclear-decommissioning market.
