Nuclear safety management
Evaluate nuclear safety and minimise risk
As global energy demand increases, safety remains a prerequisite for all types of power generation. Particularly for nuclear energy a comprehensive nuclear safety management is of utmost importance.
TÜV SÜD provides regulatory authorities, vendors and operators with in-depth safety assessments, for example by assessing the balance of plant design and safety concepts with Probabilistic Risk Assessments. We evaluate deterministic safety analysis, safety reports and hazard analyses during the design, construction, operational and decommissioning phases. Our objective, impartial technical services add safety and certainty to your projects.
