White & Case London partner Simon Stuttaford and Special Advisor & Nuclear Practice Lead in Paris, Ximena Vasquez-Maignan, were recently featured in Enlit, discussing rising global nuclear M&A activity which reached $7 billion during the first six months of the year, almost double the $3.6 billion figure recorded during the same period in 2025.
Simon explained that the sustained growth in nuclear investment is the result of several factors, noting that "Governments are placing nuclear at the heart of their energy security, industrial and decarbonisation strategies, while regulatory reforms for advanced reactor technologies are providing greater certainty for developers and investors."
Ximena further highlighted that financing structures are evolving alongside nuclear technology, commenting that "financing models are becoming more sophisticated, with growing collaboration between the public and private sectors helping to allocate risk more effectively and improve project bankability."
