Europe’s accelerated return to nuclear energy — driven by long-term energy security needs, decarbonisation goals and geopolitical vulnerability — is creating one of the most complex construction landscapes the industry has ever faced. New-build reactors, life-extension programmes and advanced modular technologies demand unprecedented engineering precision, multi-decade build cycles, intricate regulatory oversight and globalised supply-chains. For risk managers and insurance buyers, the challenge is even greater: nuclear construction requires layers of specialised coverage, scarcity of insurer appetite, enormous accumulation risk, strict liability regimes and long-tail exposures that can outlast entire project teams. This session explores what Europe’s nuclear resurgence means for large construction projects, how the industry must respond to heightened risk and compliance demands and how insurance structures must evolve to support one of the most ambitious infrastructure programmes of the next century.
