Nuclear Services
For more than 40 years, our diverse teams of industry-leading nuclear engineers, fire protection experts, and regulatory affairs and safety assessment consultants have been enhancing the safety and operational performance of complex facilities, such as nuclear power plants, chemical process facilities and hazardous material storage facilities.
Helping The Nuclear Industry Manage Risk
As the principal developers of Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) methods and technology, we have established and maintained a dominant role in the use of risk and reliability techniques to ensure regulatory compliance while minimizing risks, assessing new technologies and reducing costs. Leveraging our extensive background in regulatory and licensing projects, we support all phases of small modular (SMR) and advanced reactor design development. We also support the long-term operation of existing nuclear power plants, using risk models to inform aging management programs and life extension strategies.
New + Advanced Reactors
Our world-class nuclear power plant (NPP) safety experts have significant experience in the many disciplines required to support all phases of SMR and advanced reactor design development, including preparation of a Design Certification Application and regulatory support during the Design Certification process.
Clients benefit from our extensive background and expertise in regulatory and licensing projects, technology selection, feasibility studies, and design approval processes. We have also performed detailed evaluations for fire protection, internal/external flooding, seismic engineering and probabilistic safety assessment to support the licensing of reactors. By leveraging our experience, we can help reduce overall Operation and Maintenance costs and improve plant efficiencies across all life cycle stages of the next generation of nuclear reactors.
Life Extension / Long-Term Operation (LTO)
We are a world-class team of experts with extensive experience in implementing the regulatory framework for the life extension of nuclear power plants over the past several decades.
Our team of engineers performs risk-informed aging mechanism evaluations on mechanical, electrical, instruments + control (I&C), and civil-structural systems to support the long-term operation of the plants.
Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) + PRA Applications
Thorough risk mitigation is the result of proper assessment, risk-informed engineering and design, and appropriate applications and technology use—all within the framework of a site-specific decision-making process. We have one of the most diverse and industry-leading teams of risk-informed engineers, fire protection experts, regulatory affairs and risk assessment consultants in the world and have been the principal developers for Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) methods and technology for more than 30 years. Our risk analysis consulting will help you save money, minimize risk and give you the peace of mind that your staff, facilities and the environment are safe.
