What are nuclear plant design and construction services?

Nuclear plant design and construction services involve a review of design documentation and assessment of technical solutions for standard compliance. Systems and components are also verified for conformity to the license agreement.

Why are nuclear plant design and construction services important?

These services ensure that all safety and security requirements are fulfilled, increasing public trust in the safety of NPPs. Errors or weaknesses can also be detected at an early stage, enabling timely modifications, improvements and control for increased safety, security and availability of NPPs.
