  Dimitri Nikas, director of utilities and project finance at Standard and Poor's, was among the analysts who said the Japanese incident will create an atmosphere where safety is closely monitored by the public and politicians, but is not big enough of an event to stop the new wave of reactors.

  "While nuclear generation can provide many benefits, the challenges of successfully completing the next construction cycle will be significant and are bound to test the industry's resolve in addressing increasing demand and the evolving and the increasingly stringent emissions regulations," writes Dimitri Nikas, credit analyst for Standard & Poor's in a recent report on the subject.

  Dimitri Nikas, director of utilities and project finance at Standard and Poor's, agrees.
  
  "The incident in Japan will ensure that people are acutely aware that nuclear generation is not without risks, but I'm not sure it's big enough or significant enough to get companies to derail their plans," said Nikas.

  "The incident in Japan will ensure that people are acutely aware that nuclear generation is not without risks, but I'm not sure it's big enough or significant enough to get companies to derail their plans," said Nikas.
  
  At least 13 companies, including Southern Co., Duke Energy, Entergy, Exelon, FPL Group and Progress Energy are working on applications to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Agency to build new reactors.
  
  Almost all of those are planned at the site of existing plants, which Nikas says will make them politically easier to embrace.

  "When coupled with a number of other obstacles, such as transmission limitations and lack of deregulation, merchant generation companies have been prevented from realizing the potential they once dreamed of," S&P credit analyst Dimitri Nikas said in the new report.

  Despite billions of dollars in federal incentives to jump-start construction of a half dozen new nuclear plants, any new wave of nuclear construction will have to satisfy those two groups if its ever going to get off the ground, said Dimitri Nikas, a utility industry analyst at Standard & Poors, one of the bond rating agencies that will be advising investors on the credit risk involved in financing these projects.
  
  The biggest battle will be with utilities getting enough certainty that they will be able to recover their investment and regulators ... getting certainty that this is indeed the lowest cost and the most appropriate way to address increasing power demand, the greenhouse gas risk and costs that will continue to increase," he said.

  Standard & Poors analyst Dimitri Nikas estimated the permits to construct a nuclear plant would cost between $1.5 billion and $2 billion.

  "While Duke Energy's stock repurchase plan will be funded largely with the proceeds of the asset sales described above, Standard & Poor's is concerned that the transaction will lead to a modestly weaker financial profile than initially expected," wrote S&P credit analyst Dimitri Nikas.
