Nuclear Safety. Uncompromising Standards.
ASPIS Consulting Group delivers specialist health, safety, and regulatory assurance services to the nuclear industry — supporting new build, operations, decommissioning, and waste management with the rigour, independence, and sector expertise that nuclear safety demands.Supporting Safe, Secure Nuclear Delivery
Nuclear energy underpins the UK's low-carbon energy strategy and critical national infrastructure. Delivering nuclear programmes safely, across the full lifecycle from design and construction through operations, decommissioning, and waste management, demands organisations held to the highest standards of safety governance, technical rigour, and regulatory assurance.
We help nuclear site licensees, major programme delivery organisations, and their supply chains plan, deliver, and operate with nuclear safety, conventional safety, and regulatory compliance at the centre of every decision. Our consultants provide the practical expertise that protects people, supports regulatory confidence, and sustains the social licence upon which nuclear programmes depend.
Our experience spans new nuclear build, operational power stations, decommissioning programmes, radioactive waste management, and research reactor facilities within highly regulated environments. We work closely with licensees, delivery partners, Tier 1 and Tier 2 contractors, and regulatory stakeholders — including the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) — to manage nuclear, radiological, and conventional safety risks.
By combining deep nuclear sector knowledge with a pragmatic, outcome-focused approach, we help organisations navigate the unique regulatory complexity of the nuclear licensed environment, respond to programme delivery challenges, and build the safety capability that underpins long-term success in one of the world's most demanding industries.
