The nuclear industry has a responsibility to the public and future generations to ensure we have solutions for all aspects of nuclear energy. Evaluating how to decommission nuclear operations in a manner that manages the risks and hazards, yet drives value for money, requires innovative thinking.
Often one critical aspect of how NNL work is to bring together skills and technology from elsewhere – including non-nuclear sectors – and work out how to apply, test and develop its application in a nuclear environment. Our independent position means we are ‘technology agnostic’ and enables us to provide unbiased recommendations with a focus on the best long term outcomes for our customers.
