 profile events involving radioactive materials, could materially and adversely affect the public perception of the safety of nuclear energy, our customers and the markets in which we operate, and such adverse effects could potentially decrease demand for nuclear energy, increase regulatory requirements and costs or result in liability or claims that could materially and adversely affect our business.

Successful execution of our business model is dependent upon public support for nuclear power, in general, in the U.S. and other countries. If there is an incident affecting nuclear energy facilities in the U.S. or globally, public perception could be materially negatively impacted. Opposition by third parties can delay or prevent the licensing of nuclear reactors and in some cases can limit the operation of nuclear reactors. In the past, adverse public reaction, increased regulatory scrutiny and related litigation contributed to extended licensing and commercialization periods for new nuclear reactors.

With respect to public perceptions, the effects of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami that caused a radiological incident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan increased public opposition to nuclear power in some countries, resulting in a slowdown in, or, in some cases, a complete halt to new construction of nuclear power plants, an early shut down of existing power plants and a dampening of the favorable regulatory climate needed to introduce new nuclear power technologies. As a result of these events, some countries that were considering launching new domestic nuclear power programs delayed or cancelled the preparatory activities they were planning to undertake as part of such programs. Similarly, the accidents at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl increased fears of nuclear power and hindered the widespread acceptance of nuclear power. If a high-visibility or high-consequence nuclear incident, including the loss or mishandling of nuclear materials, or other event, such as a terrorist attack involving a nuclear facility, occurs, public opposition to nuclear power may increase dramatically, regulatory requirements and costs could become more onerous or prohibitory, and customer demand for heat, electricity, or fuel could suffer, which could materially and adversely affect our business prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Unsatisfactory safety performance or security incidents at our facilities — or any nuclear facility around the world — could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We design and will manufacture highly sophisticated MMRs that depend on complex technology. We also work cooperatively with our suppliers, subcontractors, and other parties. Failures, disruptions or compromises to our or our third parties’ systems or facilities may be caused by natural disasters, accidents, power
