Recognised expertise in successfully supporting licensing and permitting process

Building a new nuclear installation requires rigorous assessment and approval by the Nuclear Safety Authority of the host country throughout the installation lifecycle (assessing the choice of location, construction, operation, final shutdown, dismantling, and any modifications).

With more than 50 years’ experience in supporting new or existing nuclear programmes, Assystem supports its customers at every stage of the permit process, from the initial request through to the final shutdown and dismantling of the installation.

To meet safety requirements and boost confidence in the project, we provide expertise in:

• Writing and delivery of the documents necessary to obtain permits and authorisations for the project
• Support in the coordination of stakeholders operating on the project to achieve and impact licensing
• Integration of all requirements in a digital database optimising the licensing process by modelling it

We work with national regulators, governments, operators, reactor vendors or suppliers to coordinate our stakeholders’ collaborative efforts.

The Assystem teams harness the power of digital tools and technologies to optimise the licensing process:

• Using sophisticated digital databases to cover all international standards and stakeholder engagement models
• Extracting, comparing, standardising and allocating requirements to these models.

These functionalities are developed by integrating machine learning techniques with Model Based System Engineering (MBSE).
