Powering the future with nuclear energy

As the world embraces different ways to produce and consume energy, nuclear power and small modular reactors (SMR) are set to play a critical role in the energy transition. 

The United Kingdom has a goal to achieve up to 24 gigawatts (GW) of nuclear capacity by 2050—which would provide about a quarter of the country’s projected electricity demand. This ambition will require an increase in nuclear generation by up to four times.

Stantec is a leader in influencing and creating safety, environmental, and waste management standards that shape the future of the nuclear industry. We offer a diverse range of advisory and technical assessment services to support all stages of the nuclear lifecycle.

We provide advice through all stages of nuclear new builds and throughout the operational phase, and our development and review of decommissioning strategies facilitate safe site closures and demolition. Our team can also provide a range of technical assessments in the nuclear safety and environmental disciplines to enable nuclear activities to meet regulatory compliance expectations.

Nuclear energy stands at the forefront of a global transformation—at Stantec, we’re driving the highest levels of safety and environmental protection, helping create energy security, and setting a sustainable foundation for the world’s nuclear energy demands.
