Regulatory, Site Licensing and Permitting
Amentum guides nuclear energy developers and vendors through the complex landscape of domestic and international nuclear regulation and the equally complex business of getting new facilities built. In the UK, we are the delivery partner for project and construction management services at Hinkley Point C; sole program and project management delivery partner at Sizewell C; Program Delivery Partner for Rolls-Royce SMR, and Owner’s Engineer for Great British Energy-Nuclear. In Fusion, we are major suppliers of technical, scientific and engineering support to ITER and the UK Atomic Energy Authority.
We provided program management during the construction of Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in the United Arab Emirates and we are now supporting reactor developers and new nuclear energy programs in the USA, France, Poland, Czech Republic and The Netherlands. Our team has deep experience with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the UK’s Office for Nuclear Regulation, and similar agencies across Europe.
We support license applications, safety analyses, environmental reviews, and stakeholder engagement, providing nuclear safety consultant services, regulatory compliance assessments, and site licensing strategies for new build programs, life extension projects, and decommissioning activities. By combining technical rigor with regulatory insight, Amentum helps clients reduce licensing risk, avoid costly delays, and maintain global nuclear security standards.
Our team understands both the technical issues and the regulatory challenges faced by reactor vendors. We support new build programs by preparing complex technical documentation and assisting in the interfacing with the UK regulators during GDA.
Our Regulatory Support Directorate, a ring-fenced and independently managed part of our organization, supports regulators in a wide range of technical areas including reactor core physics and fault studies; civil engineering and external hazards; chemistry, control and instrumentation, criticality, electrical engineering, radiological protection, radioactive waste management and decommissioning, and cyber security.
