Nuclear Safety

Nuclear Safety

Nuclear safety is at the heart of a responsible, effective and efficient nuclear site operator.

Our agile multi-disciplinary team provide a wide range of nuclear safety services across all stages of the facility and safety case lifecycle. With extensive experience and an excellent reputation, we pride ourselves on a pragmatic approach that ensures nuclear safety solutions are delivered on time and within budget, without compromising safety, quality, and operational capability. We do this by integrating with key project stakeholders throughout the production of nuclear safety assessments, with a focus on understanding the capability requirements and strategic objectives to ensure that safety cases enable operational capability, when it is required.

Specialist areas

Human Factors

Our team includes experienced Human Factors specialists, who integrate seamlessly within NESC projects and work closely with designers and operators to ensure that tasks, engineering and the work environment are optimised to support operational capability, without compromising nuclear safety.

Our related services include, but are not limited to:

• Task Analysis
• Human Error Identification (e.g. SHERPA)
• Fault Tree Analysis
• Quantitative Human Reliability Analysis (e.g. THERP, HEART)

Fire and Explosion

Fire and explosion engineering is the application of scientific and engineering principles, codes and expert judgement, based on an understanding of the phenomena and effects of fire and explosion. Our experts integrate within our projects and use a range of tools and software models to characterise fire and explosion hazards and ensure appropriate controls are in place, without compromising operational capability.

Our related services include, but are not limited to:

• Fire and explosion hazard identification/ combustible inventory review;
• Fire and explosion modelling;
• Development of fire and explosion risk assessments;
• Development of fire and explosion safety management strategies.
