Civilian Nuclear Power Plant Development and Engineering

Identifies companies and other entities that design, develop, construct, or provide nuclear-specific engineering, procurement, construction, or material modernization for civilian power reactors or nuclear generating stations. Qualifying activity requires an active project, commercial technology programme, or documented nuclear plant role. General construction, standard components, operation-only roles, weapons or research reactors, decommissioning-only work, and speculative announcements without active development are excluded.

How to read this definition

Inclusion criteria describe evidence that can establish this activity. Exclusion criteria identify circumstances that do not establish it on that basis alone. The evaluation remains connected to its taxonomy version and supporting evidence.

Can establish this activity

Included when supported

Evidence may support involvement when it matches one or more of these inclusion criteria.

6 criteria
  1. 01Criterion

    Include design or engineering of civilian power reactors, reactor islands, nuclear steam-supply systems, or complete nuclear generating stations.

  2. 02Criterion

    Include nuclear-specific engineering, procurement, construction, and prime construction responsibility for active civilian nuclear-power projects.

  3. 03Criterion

    Include active development of commercial reactor technologies intended for civilian electricity generation, including large reactors and small modular reactors.

  4. 04Criterion

    Include design or supply of reactor-core systems, primary systems, containment, safety systems, or other nuclear-island technology where the entity has system-level responsibility.

  5. 05Criterion

    Include project developers, consortia members, and programme integrators with a documented substantive role in an active civilian nuclear-power project.

  6. 06Criterion

    Include entities identified in permits, construction licences, procurement awards, regulatory filings, or project agreements as responsible for a qualifying civilian nuclear build or material modernization.

Does not establish this activity on its own

Excluded on this basis alone

These circumstances do not establish this activity unless separate evidence also meets an inclusion criterion.

6 criteria
  1. 01Criterion

    Exclude plant ownership or operation when no separate design, construction, development, engineering, or material-modernization role is evidenced.

  2. 02Criterion

    Exclude general engineering, construction, project management, architecture, or civil works without a nuclear-specific deliverable.

  3. 03Criterion

    Exclude standard pumps, valves, steel, concrete, electrical products, information technology, and other generic components not specifically designed or qualified for the nuclear application.

  4. 04Criterion

    Exclude decommissioning, dismantling, closure, remediation, and waste work when no active plant-development or engineering role exists.

  5. 05Criterion

    Exclude technologies developed solely for weapons, naval propulsion, research reactors, or isotope production without a civilian power-reactor application.

  6. 06Criterion

    Exclude concepts, memoranda, non-binding announcements, and speculative programmes without an active funded project or commercial technology-development programme.
