New Nuclear

Supporting Advanced Reactors, SMRs, and Large Nuclear Plants

Dominion Engineering provides engineering and field support for new nuclear projects of all scales. We work with utilities, developers, and industry partners to reduce uncertainty, improve constructability, and enhance long-term performance of advanced reactors, small modular reactors (SMRs), and large nuclear new builds.

With over 40 years, Dominion Engineering is a trusted advisor to nuclear operators worldwide. Our new nuclear practice draws on this foundation, combining industry-leading materials expertise, ASME BPVC experience, structural and thermal analysis capabilities, and a state-of-the-art Applied Engineering and Research Center.

Our Capabilities

Technology and Site Selection

We support owners and developers in evaluating reactor technologies and potential sites, prioritizing constructability, operability, environmental considerations, and licensing readiness. Our support includes:

    • Independent assessment of reactor technologies
    • Site suitability evaluations (geology, hydrology, infrastructure, environmental conditions)
    • Early-stage environmental and radiological baseline characterization
    • Input to hazard basis development for flooding, meteorology, and seismic considerations

    • The outcome is better-informed decisions that reduce lifecycle risk and support practical deployment.
