Our Expertise

Delivering UK and international nuclear capability

 4Header Gateway GlobalExpertise

At Orano Limited, we combine nearly 50 years of on-the-ground experience in the UK with the international expertise of the Orano group. We offer something truly unique to the nation’s key nuclear clients as they work on ground-breaking programmes that will underpin a low- carbon energy future for generations to come.

We understand what it means to be an owner- operator of nuclear sites

Orano owns and operates its own sites in France. We therefore know what it means to search for the best solution to first-of-a-kind challenges, to keep people safe every step of the way and to make every penny count. We’ve developed tools, teams and techniques to tackle some of the highest hazard environments in Europe, to make sure nuclear is fit for the future, and we’ve done it for decades.

We have local teams with an outstanding track record in the UK nuclear sector

We are proud to have locally based teams across the UK, working from our offices in Abingdon, Warrington and Westlakes Science and Technology Park in Cumbria, or on site directly with our clients. Our local teams represent the bedrock of our business in the UK, enabling us to combine UK experience with international expertise to deliver bespoke solutions that are deeply rooted in the UK nuclear context. Our teams work collaboratively, across technical disciplines, to break down silos and prioritise high-quality, collaborative technical services.

International collaboration is at the heart of our business

We represent the international Orano group’s presence in the UK. We therefore have full access to the unique, industry-leading capability that over 17,500 people working across the globe has to offer UK nuclear programmes. This includes capabilities in decommissioning, design, nuclear material and nuclear waste management, supported by the full suite of engineering capabilities. Bringing all of this together to deliver for UK clients means we thrive on a true culture of international collaboration.
