Restructuring of the electricity business heralds significant changes in nuclear operations. The organization of the entire electric industry will be different as the vertically integrated monopolies that formerly provided electricity are replaced by separate companies, specializing in specific functions. Among them will likely be generating companies and a limited number of highly proficient nuclear operating companies. Producing electricity as a commodity in a competitive market will call for price-driven performance. The safety focus of nuclear operations is the constant that will carry over into the competitive electricity business.
