Leibstadt Nuclear Power Plant As Research Proposal

Given the position of the company within the Swiss and Western European energy markets, as well as the general position of nuclear energy within the current push towards green energy, a slight expansion -- or at least the increase of production -- would be the best current strategy for the company. As a partial provider of a public service, whether or not it is publicly owned, there is not a great deal that Leibstadt can do in the way of direct competition or expansion. Increasing production, however, can make the plant more efficient and able to offer its energy slightly cheaper perhaps, expanding domestic growth slightly and export potential more significantly. This could also help counter some of the public pressure on the nuclear energy industry in Switzerland, as well as shoring up the strength the company already has in its market share and production capabilities.Conclusion

Visiting the Leibstadt nuclear power plant facility, though very interesting and new, does not reveal a great deal about the company's financial or market situation, its business strategy, or even its operation to the untrained observer. The sheer size of the facility and its grounds is intimidating, as is the fact there is a large amount of fissionable material near enough to cause major damage to one's person, but overall the sense of supreme industrial efficiency is the most palpable impression given by a visit to this nuclear plant. It is also this which inspires a sound….....
