DISCUSS YOUR PROJECTNOVTRIQ delivers end-to-end feasibility studies for small modular reactor deployment, covering site evaluation, environmental impact assessment, grid connection analysis, and power integration planning. Our engineering team assesses geological, hydrological, seismic, and environmental factors critical to successful SMR siting across greenfield and brownfield locations.
We evaluate energy demand profiles, grid infrastructure capacity, and transmission requirements to determine optimal reactor placement and integration strategies. Our feasibility assessments are investment-grade, structured to support funding applications and regulatory submissions across multiple jurisdictions.
Nuclear projects require rigorous regulatory compliance across multiple frameworks. NOVTRIQ provides specialist guidance through UK Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) licensing processes, Generic Design Assessment (GDA) support, EU Euratom Treaty requirements, and UAE Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation (FANR) licensing procedures, aligned with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safety standards.
ONR licensing pathway advisory, Generic Design Assessment (GDA) support, nuclear site licensing, Environmental Impact Assessment under UK EIA Regulations 2017, and ongoing regulatory interface management throughout the project lifecycle.
Euratom regulatory compliance including Nuclear Safety Directive 2014/87/Euratom, Radioactive Waste Directive 2011/70/Euratom, Environmental Impact Assessment under EU EIA Directive 2014/52/EU, and alignment with WENRA safety reference levels for new reactor designs.
Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation (FANR) licensing and compliance support, aligned with UAE Federal Law No. 6 of 2009 on the Peaceful Use of Nuclear Energy. Advisory services for organisations engaging with the UAE nuclear programme, including Barakah operational expansion and emerging SMR deployment opportunities under FANR’s 2027–2029 regulatory strategy.
IAEA safety standards implementation including SSR-2/1 (Safety of Nuclear Power Plants: Design), GSR Part 4 (Safety Assessment for Facilities and Activities), and cross-jurisdictional compliance coordination for multi-market nuclear projects.
SMR power output requires precise integration with existing facility infrastructure and national grid systems. NOVTRIQ provides high-voltage (HV) infrastructure design, transformer sizing and specification, export capacity planning, and grid synchronisation engineering.
Our power integration services cover dual-feed HV supply architecture, protection relay coordination, power quality analysis, and connection applications to transmission and distribution network operators across UK, EU, and UAE jurisdictions.
Advanced thermal engineering for reactor cooling circuits, heat exchangers, and waste heat recovery systems. NOVTRIQ designs thermal integration strategies that capture SMR waste heat for district heating networks, industrial process heat supply, clean room environmental control, and combined heat and power (CHP) configurations.
Our power infrastructure expertise covers high-voltage electrical design, emergency diesel generator systems, uninterruptible power supplies, and grid synchronisation equipment essential for nuclear operations.
Integrated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering for nuclear installations, designed to meet stringent safety classification requirements of nuclear environments. This includes safety-critical ventilation and HVAC systems, redundant electrical power distribution, fire protection to nuclear standards, specialist drainage, and effluent management systems.
NOVTRIQ provides investment-grade financial analysis for SMR deployment projects, including cost-benefit modelling, levelised cost of energy (LCOE) calculations, return on investment projections, and risk-adjusted scenario analysis. Our advisory team identifies and structures funding pathways across public and private financing mechanisms.
UK Infrastructure Bank financing, Regulated Asset Base (RAB) model structuring, Great British Energy investment pathways, and government grant programme navigation for nuclear new-build and SMR projects.
EU InvestEU programme applications, Euratom Research and Training Programme funding, European Industrial Alliance on SMRs participation advisory, and EU Innovation Fund applications for nuclear technology deployment under the Net-Zero Industry Act framework.
Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) incentive programmes, Emirates Development Bank financing structures, and international development finance institution (DFI) engagement for nuclear infrastructure projects in emerging markets.
Engineering support for nuclear facility decommissioning programmes, including characterisation surveys, waste categorisation, dismantling methodology, and site remediation planning. We work within established decommissioning frameworks to deliver safe, compliant, and cost-effective end-of-life solutions for nuclear assets.
The global nuclear renaissance is accelerating. The UK’s Great British Energy — Nuclear (GBE-N) programme has selected Rolls-Royce SMR as the national technology provider, with construction at Wylfa commencing in 2026 and over £2.5 billion committed at the 2025 Spending Review. The EU’s European Industrial Alliance on SMRs, launched February 2024 under the Net-Zero Industry Act, is mobilising investment across member states. The UAE, through FANR’s 2027–2029 strategy, is preparing regulatory frameworks for SMR technology adoption alongside the operational Barakah programme.
NOVTRIQ operates across all three markets, providing unified engineering consultancy that bridges regulatory regimes and delivers consistent technical standards for nuclear and SMR projects regardless of jurisdiction.
From SMR feasibility through to decommissioning, our tri-market team delivers the engineering expertise your project demands.
