Advanced reactor developers and Combined Operating License applicants have the opportunity to engineer an improved and potentially less costly security physical solution to reactors and sites that are still in the design and development stages. Some refer to this as security-by-design, where protections against theft and sabotage are incorporated into the architecture and engineering of the reactor. Advanced reactors give developers and security experts an opportunity to think holistically about how to integrate the most stringent and forward-thinking security features much earlier in the process, and EXCEL has the experience and skill-sets to support this goal.
EXCEL can also provide licensing and regulatory assistance to clients, to support interactions with the regulator and developing and/or reviewing licensing packages. A critical component of EXCEL’s participation in these activities, in addition to many years of experience in the technical aspects of security, is the regulatory background of all team members.
