Nuclear power has historically been one of the largest global contributors to low-carbon electricity generation. As we accelerate the move away from fossil fuel dependence, nuclear generating capacity is forecast to increase, alongside renewables, to meet growing electricity demand.
New nuclear development is also important to offset the retirement of legacy power stations. To achieve the growth in nuclear power generation, the development of facilities to manufacture fuel and components and responsibly manage and store radioactive wastes will also be critical to the success of the industry and society’s low-carbon future. Our multidisciplinary teams take an integrated approach to new and existing nuclear projects from concept to design, covering every stage of the project lifecycle. We help developers and local governments take an integrated approach to the design of projects, including strategy and business case clarity, technology appraisal, design management and site consenting.
We understand that these complicated infrastructure projects require a safe, secure and sustainable solution. We combine our nuclear industry and major project experience to support governments, investors and developers through the most complex of projects.
