The report recommends:
> 1. An increased focus on using proven project/ construction management practices to increase the probability of success in the execution and delivery of new nuclear power plants.
> 2. A shift away from primarily field construction of cumbersome, highly site-dependent plants to more serial manufacturing of standardized plants.
> 3. A shift toward reactor designs that incorporate inherent and passive safety features.
> 4. Decarbonization policies should create a level playing field that allows all low-carbon generation technologies to compete on their merits.
> 5. Governments should establish reactor sites where companies can deploy prototype reactors for testing and operation oriented to regulatory licensing.
> 6. Governments should establish funding programs around prototype testing and commercial deployment of advanced reactor designs using four levers: (a) funding to share regulatory licensing costs, (b) funding to share research and development costs, (c) funding for the achievement of specific technical milestones, and (d) funding for production credits to reward successful demonstration of new designs.
