The nuclear value chain presents extensive yet uncertain growth opportunities. Solestiss offers expertise across the spectrum, from micro-level component and reactor designs to macro-level demand drivers and risks, to help define go-to-market and supply chain development strategies. This expertise extends to guiding investor M&A commercial and operational due diligence processes. Additionally, our engineering team specializes in optimizing OEM reactor designs for enhanced constructibility, reduced cost, and improved safety.
As the energy demands increase, nuclear plant owners, EPCs, and suppliers are moving forward to meet these demands with development, design and construction of new nuclear plants. Given the state of the nuclear industry due to lack of growth over the last few decades, there is no shortage of uncertainties and risks to address to minimize schedule and cost deviations with new nuclear projects. Solestiss is ready to guide clients in site selection, project planning and development, and risk management. Our team’s collective experience in nuclear new build licensing, construction, and start-up across multiple continents and reactor designs provides a multi-dimensional perspective on identifying and mitigating project risks.
Licensing new nuclear projects is complex and constantly evolving. Shifting guidance from Congress, federal agencies, and the NRC makes regulatory strategy a critical part of successful project planning. Solestiss helps clients navigate this landscape with deep expertise in design certification, construction and operating licensing for SMRs, large reactors, and microreactors. We bring trusted relationships with the NRC, DOE, and EPA to support site selection, cross-agency coordination, and innovative regulatory approaches that reduce risk, cost, and schedule pressure—without compromising safety.
Even well-funded projects / teams with robust strategies can fail if their capabilities, processes, organizational design, or governance structure are inadequate – especially in the nuclear space. Solestiss assists companies in establishing new nuclear organizations, striking a balance between agility and the stringent safety and quality demands of the nuclear market. Furthermore, Solestiss possesses the expertise to build critical new capabilities, such as project controls and risk management, which are essential for successful mega-project delivery.
The energy landscape is constantly changing due to advancements in new technologies, the increasing energy demands of AI data centers, and evolving policies. Solestiss possesses extensive expertise in the nuclear sector and the broader energy ecosystem, which can be invaluable for market studies, developing commercialization strategies for new technologies, and conducting technology evaluations.
