New Nuclear Solutions
The nuclear technology landscape is vast, with advanced reactor technologies in various stages of development and deployment. As the nuclear industry evolves, connecting with partners who have experience and insight into reactor technology and industry-leading small modular reactor projects is critical.
Why Experience With New Nuclear Technology Matters
The challenges and opportunities presented by new nuclear technologies are exciting. Turning this potential into reality requires the ability to support projects from the earliest stages of concept development through construction and operation.
The Burns & McDonnell Difference
Our breadth of experience, including technology experience in small modular reactors (SMRs) and microreactors allows us to deliver integrated services that encompass every step in the path from idea to startup: siting, project development and planning, environmental permitting, licensing support, engineering and design, procurement, construction, and startup and operation. We recognize that early decision-making is crucial to future project success, so we apply a holistic approach to project development. By incorporating permitting, conceptual and preliminary engineering, preconstruction activities, constructability analysis and planning, cost estimating, economic analysis, project execution planning, and risk analysis and management throughout the project development life cycle, we help you drive your project to successful implementation.
We can seamlessly transition from project development to implementation, bringing the engineering skill to support detailed design, including safety-related and balance-of-plant (BOP) components. Our construction capabilities allow us to execute projects via varied delivery methods. As a fully integrated engineer-procure-construct (EPC) company, our project development, engineering and construction professionals are integrated into the entire project life cycle. We work with technology developers seeking technical support or construction planning, as well as owners considering new nuclear power at new or existing facilities.
Our efficient execution model incorporates flexible design and construction processes that enable implementation of advanced reactors with clear attention to detail and focus on the latest regulations throughout every project phase.
Nuclear Cogeneration & Facility Conversions
With advanced reactor technologies — including small modular reactors (SMRs) and microreactors — offering high-temperature energy solutions, modern nuclear projects go beyond electricity generation. Nuclear combined heat and power (cogeneration) plants can support industrial applications, as well as help meet clean energy and decarbonization goals. Whether a greenfield application or an integration within an existing facility, our team can evaluate technology options and develop an integration or replacement strategy.
