The operation of nuclear facilities requires continuous monitoring, maintenance, and evaluation. TÜV NORD supports national authorities as well as international operators, EPC contractors, and suppliers with independent inspection, assessment, and quality assurance services – both nationally and internationally. Our goal: reliable and compliant operation over decades.
We provide expert evaluations, assessments, and inspections for all safety-related aspects throughout the entire life cycle of nuclear facilities.
For more than 60 years, TÜV NORD has been a recognized and independent expert organization in the field of nuclear safety – both nationally and internationally.
