NUVIA is proud to be the UK’s leading provider of radiation protection services, protecting people, assets and the environment at every stage of nuclear operations. Innovation sits at the heart of our expertise and by working closely with clients, we turn real operational challenges into smarter, safer and more efficient solutions, strengthening radiological safety and reinforcing the resilience of the UK’s energy system.
NUVIA continues to push the boundaries of radiation monitoring through automation, robotics and digitalisation. At the core of this is NUVIATech Instruments, our dedicated brand for radiation and contamination measurement technologies. We design, commission and maintain innovative systems that deliver real‑time radiation and contamination data, improving accuracy, accelerating decision‑making and reducing operational burden. This technology enables advanced autonomous tools such as NuCoMBo, NUVIA’s Contamination Monitoring Robot. NuCoMBo automatically surveys radiologically controlled areas and produces detailed contamination maps. By reducing the need for prolonged manual monitoring, robotics cut worker fatigue and help prevent musculoskeletal injuries.
Another standout example of NUVIA innovation is Groundhog®, our patented environmental monitoring technology that has transformed how large areas of land are assessed. Groundhog® provides clear visual contamination maps, detects extremely small radioactive particles across wide areas, and delivers a cost‑effective, quality‑assured solution trusted by regulators and major clients. Each year, NUVIA surveys more than 5 million square metres of beach environments and generates over one billion data points, providing robust evidence for environmental monitoring programmes and supporting targeted particle retrieval operations.
Adrian Davis-Johnston, Head of Products and Innovation at NUVIA UK, said:
“Our expertise in innovation doesn’t just make nuclear work safer – it strengthens the resilience and reliability of the UK’s energy system. With outages costing millions, advanced radiation monitoring helps keep power stations running efficiently and underpins the stable, low‑carbon energy that heats and powers homes across the country.”
As the UK enters a renewed era of nuclear growth and investment, the demand for advanced radiation detection technologies will only increase. NUVIA is ready to meet that challenge. Through world‑class innovation and deep operational insight, we continue to set the benchmark for safety, quality and technical excellence across the nuclear industry.
