TÜV NORD supports national authorities as well as international plant developers, operators, EPC contractors, and suppliers with independent technical assessments based on regulatory requirements.
Our goal: a safe and compliant start for every nuclear project.
Whether it's SMRs, AMRs, large-scale reactors, or other nuclear facilities such as research reactors, fuel fabrication plants, or interim storage sites – a successful entry or expansion in the nuclear sector requires regulatory certainty, qualified personnel, and well-functioning interfaces.
With TÜV NORD at your side, you gain the assurance of a robust and sustainable project – from the initial concept to regulatory approval.
In the Planning and Licensing phase, we support our clients with independent assessments, evaluations, and certifications – carried out with technical competence, transparency, and full regulatory compliance.
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. Our specialists support licensing and regulatory processes in the nuclear sector with technically sound, legally robust assessments and expert reports throughout the entire nuclear life cycle.
Our evaluation and inspection services are based on the German Atomic Energy Act (AtG), the Radiation Protection Act (StrlSchG), and the Radiation Protection Ordinance (StrlSchV), as well as on the requirements of the IAEA and national supervisory authorities. In addition, we align with the WENRA Safety Reference Levels to support the harmonization of European regulatory standards.
Certified quality management in accordance with ISO 9001 and accredited inspection and testing bodies in line with DIN EN ISO/IEC 17020 and DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 ensure the reliability and consistency of our services. In doing so, we foster trust, transparency, and acceptance – for operators, regulators, and international project partners alike.
