MORE THAN 60 YEARS OF NUCLEAR EXPERIENCE AT YOUR SIDE
Nuclear power is an essential source of low-carbon energy, which makes it an area of important expertise for Tractebel. Our role for over 60 years has been to provide trusted engineering and advisory services based on state-of-the-art expertise and experience.
With over 1 000 nuclear experts and projects developed in over 20 countries, we work across the full life-cycle of nuclear installations, from plant design to radwaste and decommissioning. We have built up a very substantial track record in the nuclear sector, supporting operators in their challenges of operating their plants safely and profitably, accompanying nuclear players in their projects in radwaste and decommissioning, as well as investors, future operators or constructors in the development and construction of nuclear power plants, small modular reactors and research reactors.
For several years, we have been frontrunners in the deployment of SMRs providing engineering and consultancy services from research development and licensing to design and construction. SMRs are becoming a reality and thanks to our extensive nuclear know-how, we can support nuclear and industrial players to successfully deliver their SMR projects.
From our Nuclear Innovation Lab, we develop cutting-edge and tailored solutions for applications using nuclear technology that extend to the industrial sector, including nuclear medicine and aerospace.
