Offers for Nuclear Capital
Project Advisory Services

Independent offerings for informed decisions across nuclear project development and lifecycle planning.

Offerings

Independent advisory services are provided to support nuclear capital projects across all phases of the project lifecycle. These services are informed by direct involvement in nuclear project development, EPC execution, plant operations, decommissioning, and restart activities. This experience enables guidance grounded in practical delivery realities rather than theoretical planning assumptions.

Advisory Services for New Nuclear Plants

Advisory support is provided to owners, developers, and stakeholders to inform early and ongoing decisions that materially affect project performance, cost control, and long-term operability.

Contract Development

Contract Development

Advisory support is provided on contract structures and commercial strategies to achieve appropriate risk allocation among owners, EPC contractors, and suppliers. This includes evaluation of contract terms, incentives, and risk-sharing mechanisms to improve cost and schedule predictability and reduce dispute exposure.

Site Review and Layout Considerations

Site Review and Layout Considerations

Site characteristics and plant layout concepts are reviewed to identify constructability, logistics, and long-term operational impacts. Early evaluation of access, sequencing, and physical interfaces helps mitigate downstream risks to safety, schedule, and cost.

Technology Selection

Technology Selection

Reactor and plant technology options are evaluated based on maturity, supply chain readiness, constructability, operational implications, and licensing risk. The focus is on aligning technology selection with achievable project objectives and delivery capability.

Risk Identification and Mitigation

Risk Identification and Mitigation

Technical, contractual, regulatory, and execution risks are identified early in project development. Insights from prior nuclear projects are applied to develop practical mitigation strategies that reduce uncertainty and strengthen decision-making.

Project Metrics Assessment

Project Metrics Assessment

Project performance metrics, including cost, schedule, productivity, and execution assumptions, are reviewed to assess realism, internal consistency, and alignment with industry experience.

Cost Reduction Opportunities

Cost Reduction Opportunities

Opportunities for cost reduction are identified through design simplification, execution strategy refinement, contracting approaches, and application of proven lessons learned, without compromising safety or long-term performance.

Application of Recent Nuclear New-Build Lessons Learned

Application of Recent Nuclear New-Build Lessons Learned

Lessons from recent nuclear new-build projects are applied to address risks related to design maturity, supply chain readiness, workforce planning, quality assurance, and EPC execution, helping teams avoid repeat issues.
