15 May 2017
On May 8th, 2017 the French company Assystem and the German company PreussenElektra GmbH signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate in the area of nuclear engineering and consulting.
This nuclear alliance will benefit the global civil nuclear market by combining the operating and maintenance capabilities of PreussenElektra, one of world’s top performers in nuclear generation, and the nuclear engineering and project expertise of Assystem, one the five leading independent nuclear engineering companies in the world.
This partnership will first focus on serving the development of the nuclear program in the UAE. It will then potentially be open to further international cooperation.
Their capabilities as nuclear owners’ and utilities’ engineer will complement each other to produce high-value services which are competitive and unique to help nuclear newcomers, operators and investors in the ongoing effort to make nuclear power safer, while addressing the need to ensure outstanding economic performance.
Emphasis will be placed on servicing the entire nuclear lifecycle from plant development and construction, through operational readiness, operation and maintenance to nuclear waste management and decommissioning & dismantling of nuclear power plants.
