LSCUS plans nuclear power plant cable production at its Tarboro factory, targeting the growing U.S. large nuclear and SMR market.
Gaon Cable's U.S. production subsidiary LSCUS plans to build cable production facilities for nuclear power plants at its factory in Tarboro, North Carolina, the company announced on the 12th.
The investment is aimed at securing a local supply system in advance for the expanding U.S. market for large nuclear plants and small modular reactors (SMRs).
LSCUS also plans to pursue certification for nuclear power plant cables based on Gaon Cable's special cable technology, according to inews24.com.
The U.S. has had limited new nuclear plant construction over a long period, leaving its local supply chain for nuclear cables and other materials insufficiently developed. Nuclear plant construction has recently regained attention due to rising power demand from AI data center expansion and strengthened energy security.
More than 50,000 electrical cable circuits are used in a nuclear power plant depending on the design.
