Cameco (NYSE: CCJ) estimates that demand for nuclear power is growing so rapidly that uranium supply will be outstripped in the 2030s. According to the company, 72 new reactors are under construction, while older reactors are being restarted or having their lifespans extended. The nuclear boom is real as the world leans into a clean baseload power source.
Cameco and fellow industry service provider Brookfield Renewable (NYSE: BEP) are good choices for more conservative investors looking to get into the nuclear power sector. More aggressive types may prefer NuScale (NYSE: SMR) or Oklo (NYSE: OKLO) . Here's why.
