Nuclear know-how

Energy, medicine and decommissioning
PausePlay
Mott MacDonald has been a driving force in nuclear energy for over 60 years. We’ve worked on all nuclear power plants currently under construction, operation or decommissioning in the UK, and our clients now span the globe. Whether it’s gigawatt or small modular reactors, fusion initiatives, or medical isotope facilities, we understand the perspectives of all players and have the skills required to deliver complex nuclear facilities across the project lifecycle.
Insights that accelerate the delivery of nuclear energy

Mini-series

The UK government recently set out its ambition for nuclear, with many other countries also focusing on nuclear as part of their clean energy mix. Now, the spotlight shines on the sector like never before.

Our ‘Nuclear Know-How’ mini-series provides valuable insights on how the sector can safely accelerate the delivery of nuclear energy.
