Nuclear Sector Services
SOCOTEC provides engineering, testing and advisory services for nuclear projects across the United States. We have supported the safety, reliability, and performance of nuclear facilities and critical infrastructure for over 60 years.
Nuclear energy is entering a new era. The extension of existing plant operating lives, growing interest in small modular reactors (SMRs) and advanced reactor technologies, and continued investment in fuel cycle, power generation, distribution, and waste management infrastructure are creating increasingly complex engineering demands.
With decades of experience supporting U.S. and international nuclear facilities, and DOE sites, including environmental clean-up, waste isolation and fuel cycle facilities, our teams bring multidisciplinary expertise in engineering, materials, advanced analysis, field testing, and component performance. We help clients evaluate complex technical conditions, guide decisions, and address applicable codes, standards, and project quality requirements.
