Design & Licensing

TBE is your preferred partner for design studies, implementations and licensing paths. In close collaboration with the client, we shape the safe design of the nuclear installation in a cost-efficient way. Therefore, we consider the full lifecycle of your installation, e.g. by minimising decommissioning and waste costs at design. Our large on-the-field experience allows us to implement nuclear safety principles efficiently from the early design phase of your installation. We provide the legal required nuclear safety and security studies for your license application, and we are up to date with the international legislation and their national translations.

Expertise

TBE has a recognized expert team for radiophysics shielding, activation and criticality calculations for the core design of your installation. We are familiar with Monte Carlo codes (MCNP, PHITS, SERPENT, FLUKA), deterministic codes (Microshield), activation codes (SCALE, FISPACT), and criticality codes (MCNP, KENO, …). Our ISO-27001 certification confirms that your nuclear data is in secure hands.

Safety

Additionally, TBE can perform in-depth qualitative risk assessments on your installation, design or procedures. These assessments are carefully executed to make sure that the authorities have sufficient proof and insurance that the appropriate risks are considered and dealt with. TBE can assist in the further implementation of safety improvements or the human engineering aspects of complex procedures with manual interventions.

How can we support you? #1/3

Performing 3rd party reviews on your design, plans or specific studies/requirements.
Perform high-level techno-economical feasibility studies for newbuild initiatives
Performing complex in-depth radiological evaluation studies of your installation to minimize waste production, residual dose, activation or a combination of the above.

How can we support you? #2/3

Define the core design of your advanced nuclear system to optimize e.g. isotope yields for medical installations.
Contribute to the early design stages with strong experience in nuclear legislative requirements or international recommendations.
Recommend proper waste handling strategies or storage solutions in design phase to make sure the radioactive waste will be handled, treated and if necessary transported safe and secure.

How can we support you? #3/3

Implement security measures in place and make sure they are according to the necessary legislation for nuclear facilities.
Set up a comprehensive (Preliminary) Safety Analysis Report (P)SAR that proves the safe operation of your facility.
Perform environmental (impact) studies for the design of a new facility.
