Planning and Compliance

A technical understanding of the process and the incidence of risk is the key to successful project planning and programming. Understanding the design process and the interface between design, procurement, construction, operation and maintenance is essential.

Atomic Acquisitions approach from the outset is to develop a realistic and integrated programme, based on a cogent work breakdown structure and a full understanding of the processes and risks involved. We employ specialist critical path techniques and dedicated planning software, all complemented by extensive experience of the Nuclear sector.

From strategic planning to detailed activity and resource planning, from Life Cycle Base Line planning to merger integration planning, our planning & programming experts are focused on the delivery needs of the project, providing programmes that enhance efficiency.

Training and Development

As organisations and governments take steps towards developing their civil nuclear capabilities, it is recognised that skills and training will need to be enhanced.

Atomic Acquisitions in partnership with the National Skills Academy for Nuclear have and continue to develop a range of bespoke training and development packages to bridge this need.

Working in conjunction with government agencies and other accredited bodies the Partnership is hoping to role out a suite of programmes internationally.

There is recognition internationally that standardisation and harmonisation needs to be at the forefront of any Civil Nuclear development programme. The Partnership welcomes the opportunity to discuss this in more detail with organisations embarking on enhancing their training and development needs.
