Nuclear & clean power

Shaping the future

Our team designs, manages and decommissions nuclear facilities worldwide, using the latest technology solutions to ensure the lights stay on and the world remains a safe place.

With an unwavering commitment to safety, quality and efficiency, we add value to today’s challenges of delivering the next generation of nuclear power plants while at the same time maintaining the existing generating fleet and safely decommissioning legacy facilities. We’re now looking to the future, working with Small Modular Reactor (SMR) developers to advance new designs and developing digital applications, such as virtual and augmented reality, for the nuclear industry.

Our power business has been delivering electrical, civil and structural engineering services to the global renewable power sector for over 20 years. We’re now leaning into new energy challenges such as offshore generation and transmission, energy from waste, electric vehicle infrastructure and the integration of smart grid technology – helping to drive evolution in the power sector.

Our projects

Heading

Helping to deliver one of the world’s leading energy research programmes to harness nuclear fusion to help meet mankind’s future energy needs.

Working with EDF Energy on the UK’s largest infrastructure project - playing an important part in the UK’s transition to a low carbon energy future.

Our Abu Dhabi based team is providing technical and project management support to the whole Barakah programme, including the development of the future operating company and helping upskill the workforce.

Core teams

Heading

AtkinsRéalis’ Reactor Operations & Decommissioning (RO&D) team keep the nation's lights on by solving complex engineering challenges across the lifetime of nuclear reactors - from power generation to de-fuelling and sustainable decommissioning.

For you, this means unrivalled opportunities to develop your career by joining a considerable variety of projects across the asset lifetime.

We provide fully integrated engineering and project management services for all power-generating nuclear facilities in the UK, and are growing rapidly with an increasing portfolio of significant projects including support to new-build on Rolls-Royce's submarine fleets, civil generating stations alongside EDF, or end-of-lifecycle in partnership with Magnox.

Our exciting portfolio of work covers both Nuclear Fission and Fusion new build projects which are a critical component in achieving our carbon net zero targets. We apply multi-discipline AtkinsRéalis skills across the whole project lifecycle, from initiation all the way through to commissioning and commercial operation.

We’re incredibly proud that we’re recognised as a key and trusted component of the nuclear new build industry through delivering engineering and project expertize through our brilliant workforce.

Everyone working in this team is making a huge impact on carbon net zero. Together, we’re strengthening the UK’s nuclear capacity as well as driving innovation in renewables. Our shared commitment to achieving CNZ targets in the UK brings us all together; we're visibly and actively engineering a better future.

When a nuclear site reaches retirement, our specialist teams are uniquely equipped to provide 360 services – from strategic advice to operations and full product delivery.

Our global waste management capabilities connect people, data and technology to provide cutting-edge tools, robotic solutions and treatment techniques for all types of waste, essentially removing the risk to humans in that space. We routinely manage waste for the UK, US and Canadian Governments. Fundamental to our capability is strong technical knowledge and broad experience within the nuclear industry.

In the UK our teams are based in Whitehaven and Warrington - and comprise Civil and Structural, Mechnical, and EC&I Engineers delivering solutions to technically complex problems; alongside the capabilities of our specialist and expert project and engineering management teams.

Since 2007, our Nuclear & Power Global Technology Centre (GTC) team based in India, has delivered projects for the UK Civil Nuclear, Power Generations, Transmission & Distribution and Renewables businesses. The GTC team comes with a strong previous experience in Nuclear Safety, Operation & Commissioning, Process Design, Mechanical Design & Analysis, Piping Design, Control & Instrumentation Design, and Electrical Networks System Design of the Nuclear Power Plants and Conventional Utilities.

Our greatest strength is our hands-on experience, which enables us to seamlessly collaborate with our global colleagues to deliver projects.
