The UK’s nuclear sector is growing rapidly, and expert radiation protection is essential. NUVIA delivers the skills, safety and confidence the industry relies on.
The UK is entering one of its most ambitious periods of nuclear growth in decades. Major investment in large scale reactors, Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and Advanced Modular Reactors (AMRs) is driving rapid expansion into regions that have never hosted nuclear infrastructure before. At the same time, the Nuclear Regulatory Review is calling for a “radical reset” of the UK’s regulatory system to simplify processes and accelerate the safe delivery of new nuclear capacity. As the sector expands and evolves, the demand for trusted, proven radiation protection expertise has never been greater.
As the UK’s leading radiation protection provider, NUVIA delivers that expertise. We provide the safety, capability and confidence that the nation’s nuclear ambitions rely on. NUVIA doesn’t just support the nuclear industry; we help make its future possible.
NUVIA have over 300 radiation protection specialists working across the UK, providing radiation monitoring, decommissioning support, ISO17025 calibration services and HSE approved dosimetry services. Over 200 of our specialists support daily monitoring at nuclear facilities, while around 50 more support reactor outages, inspections and rapid response deployments. Our 24/7 radiological advice service also responds to more than 2,000 enquiries each year, ensuring rapid access to expert support whenever it is needed. For surge in demand, we can rapidly scale by drawing on the expertise of the wider NUVIA Group, delivering resilience without compromising safety or performance.
Instrumentation, dosimetry and calibration are central to our services. We provide full dosimetry provision and record keeping for around 5,000 workers across the nuclear industry, ensuring accurate dose tracking and regulatory compliance, but most importantly, confidence that workers return home safe to their families. Our ISO17025 aligned calibration laboratories also complete more than 2,000 instrument calibrations annually, giving our clients confidence that their equipment will perform reliably when it matters most.
Our strength lies not only in our people but in our products. NUVIATech Instruments is NUVIA’s dedicated brand for radiation and contamination measurement technologies for use in the nuclear and medical sectors. We design, commission and install reliable, innovative systems supported by long term maintenance programmes. These technologies enable operators to maintain precise radiation readings, minimise dose exposure and apply ALARP principles consistently and effectively. We also maintain around 200 instruments for the UK’s Radiological Response and Emergency Management System, ensuring essential emergency response equipment is operational when needed and promptly repaired when faults are identified by our remote monitoring systems.
With the nuclear industry entering a new era of large scale investment, the demand for highly skilled radiation protection professionals will continue to rise. Supported by our people, our expertise, NUVIATech Instruments and the wider NUVIA Group, we are ready to meet that demand and continue setting the benchmark for safety, quality and technical excellence.
