Nuclear
The nuclear sector is a vital component of national infrastructure, encompassing civil energy generation, defence capabilities, and maritime innovation. Naval Solutions Ltd is proud to play a strategic role in this domain, supporting both government and industry partners with deep expertise across the nuclear lifecycle. Our work spans from early-stage concept development to operational delivery, with a strong emphasis on safety, capability development, and leadership.

We have contributed to major civil and defence nuclear programmes, including Hinkley Point C and U-Battery, where we’ve provided solution architecture, safety case development, and human factors integration. In the maritime domain, we’ve supported innovation in nuclear propulsion and floating power platforms, including studies on Generation IV reactor insertion into naval and commercial vessels. Our behavioural and leadership programmes, aligned with WANO principles, are designed to embed a strong nuclear safety culture and are underpinned by data-driven insights and ROI tracking.
However, the sector faces a persistent and complex challenge: the availability and deployment of Suitably Qualified and Experienced Personnel (SQEP). The success of nuclear programmes depends not only on having the right expertise, but on ensuring that expertise is positioned where it is most needed. A lack of SQEP, or SQEP being deployed in the wrong place, can lead to delays, increased risk, and inefficiencies. These issues are further compounded by competing demand across civil, defence, and international programmes, which intensifies pressure on the limited pool of qualified professionals.
Naval Solutions Ltd actively addresses these challenges by maintaining a flexible network of nuclear-qualified associates, supporting clients with workforce planning and capability mapping, and advising on strategic workforce models that balance surge capacity with long-term sustainability. Our approach ensures that clients are not only equipped with the right expertise, but that it is deployed effectively to meet the demands of complex and safety-critical programmes.
