This article addresses the changes which have occurred in the U.S. nuclear industry as a response to the decline in the construction of new plants. The author focuses on the segments of the industry which chiefly design and produce nuclear power plants, the architect-engineers and the suppliers, and how they have become more service oriented in response to the construction decline. The movement toward diversification to non-nuclear industries is also discussed.
