Supporting the full lifecycle of nuclear programs — bringing integrated engineering, environmental and governance assurance to early decisions, delivery and long-term operation
We help clients move complex nuclear programs from early decisions through consent and into delivery readiness — bringing engineering, environmental and governance expertise that reduces early risk, avoids regulatory delay and improves delivery confidence across the lifecycle.
Insights
From pilots to programs: Shaping the future of nuclear fusion partnerships
No single organization can deliver clean energy at the scale or speed required. AECOM acts as an integrator, uniting industry, regulators and communities to turn pilots into scalable, profitable programs.
The UK’s civil nuclear sector can deliver differently. Here’s how.
The UK’s civil nuclear sector approaches delivery differently — shifting to integrated, collaborative, programmatic models that share knowledge, build capability and turn rising ambition into reliable, long-term solutions.
Our nuclear solutions
- New build nuclear – Early siting, licensing, governance and delivery pathways for SMR fleets.

- Nuclear lifecycle integration & program governance – Integrate multi-party ecosystems into delivery plans with clear controls and assurance.
- Nuclear waste – National-scale radioactive waste strategy and program delivery.
- Nuclear decommissioning – Plan and deliver safe, efficient decommissioning.
- Nuclear remediation – Risk-based assessment, permitting and engineered clean-up for nuclear sites.
- Nuclear infrastructure – Civil, environmental and program services for regulated sites.
Why us
Across global nuclear markets, programs succeed or fail long before construction begins. The hardest challenges sit upstream: siting, permitting, licensing strategy, governance and community confidence — but delivery also depends on bringing the right engineering, design and owner’s engineer capability into those early decisions.
We lead at program inception, shaping nuclear programs at the point of definition – before scope is fixed, risks are locked in, and delivery pathways are established. We combine engineering, environmental and governance expertise with nuclear design and owner’s engineer support to reduce early risk and enable confident, repeatable delivery.
Fusion, the future of clean energy
From decades of fission delivery to next generation nuclear and fusion, AECOM applies proven engineering, licensing and program integration expertise to help new technologies scale with confidence:
