Civilian Nuclear Support Services and Technology

Identifies companies and other entities that provide nuclear-specific products, technology, or services for the safe operation, maintenance, inspection, decommissioning, spent-fuel management, radioactive-waste management, or remediation of civilian nuclear-power infrastructure. Generic engineering, standard industrial components, general information technology, medical or research waste handling, fuel production, plant operation, and weapons-related support are excluded unless a separate qualifying civilian nuclear role is evidenced.

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 reactor instrumentation, protection, monitoring, and control systems specifically designed or nuclear-qualified for civilian power-reactor operation.

  2. 02Criterion

    Include nuclear-qualified cooling, heat-removal, water-chemistry, containment, ventilation, and safety systems supplied for civilian nuclear-power applications.

  3. 03Criterion

    Include nuclear-specific decommissioning, dismantling, remediation, and radiological characterization services for civilian power reactors.

  4. 04Criterion

    Include spent-fuel storage, radioactive-waste treatment, conditioning, transport containers, disposal, and containment systems specifically serving civilian nuclear power.

  5. 05Criterion

    Include nuclear-qualified maintenance, inspection, testing, outage, safety, radiation-protection, and life-extension services.

  6. 06Criterion

    Include engineering and consulting where the service is demonstrably nuclear-specific and directly supports civilian power operation, safety, decommissioning, or waste management.

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 generation, fuel-cycle production, or new-build engineering from this screen when no separate support-service role is evidenced.

  2. 02Criterion

    Exclude general engineering, maintenance, testing, construction, environmental, or professional services without nuclear-specific expertise and a documented nuclear-power deliverable.

  3. 03Criterion

    Exclude standard industrial components and materials that are neither specifically designed nor nuclear-qualified for the civilian nuclear application.

  4. 04Criterion

    Exclude medical, research, industrial-isotope, or general hazardous-waste handling without a civilian nuclear-power connection.

  5. 05Criterion

    Exclude generic information technology, business software, cloud, office systems, and ordinary control software without nuclear-specific qualification or integration.

  6. 06Criterion

    Exclude uranium mining, enrichment, fabrication, and fuel supply when no separate support-service role is evidenced.
