Our Services
Most demonstration reactor teams accidentally trigger commercial-grade I&C requirements by using the wrong regulatory language and framework. One misclassification can cost 4+ months and $400K-1.2M. We prevent that by managing NRC & DOE expectations from day one using Class 104(c) precedent.
Complete System Delivery -
Right Sized
We design, procure, integrate, and license complete instrumentation and control systems explicitly scoped to your unique licensing requirements—not commercial power plant assumptions. We leverage SER-approved platforms, hazard-justified safety classifications, and operator-credited actions to deliver functional systems expeditiously and at lower cost. Our deliverables include only what the licensing basis actually requires: a defensible safety analysis, reliable protective functions, and QA documentation that simply, confidently passes review.
Strategic Licensing Consulting
We provide concentrated regulatory expertise for I&C teams who need an insider’s perspective —the difference between hiring us to write your SAR Chapter 7 versus teaching your team how to defend it to the NRC. Our consulting engagements focus on high-leverage decision points: Should you pursue Class 104(c) or DOE authorization? Can you justify non-safety classification for your safeguards functions? Where do vendor quotes reflect commercial-plant habit versus your unique requirements? We bring direct NPUF branch negotiation experience to pre-application strategy sessions—helping you make informed choices about where to push back and where to comply. Our strategic guidance prevents your team from committing to expensive approaches before you understand the alternatives. The ROI comes from decisions you don’t make—the $4M safety-related system you avoid specifying, the 9-month qualification program you didn’t need, the commercial standard you successfully challenge with appropriate precedent.
