Services that provide Safety and
Efficiency for the Nuclear Industry
Licensing & Qualification
For Licensing & Qualification, please contact: Pasi Junninen
Our experienced licensing and qualification experts support you in applying for regulatory approvals, licensing planning, equipment qualification and in the preparation of regulatory documentation. We also carry out independent assessments and audits. We work with you to ensure the timely production of high-quality documents that comply with the relevant requirements.
Regulatory documentation – such as licence applications (including safety reports: PSARs and FSARs), conceptual plans, pre-inspection documentation, construction plans and suitability assessments – must be prepared in accordance with the relevant requirements. We are also happy to help you with spare parts qualifications.
With our strong experience, we create licensing and qualification plans for projects and plant modifications. We identify the required documentation and tasks for each phase, plan their scheduling (which differs from that of other industries), and assess the order and methods of delivery. Well-made licensing planning can save you both time and money.
Engineering & Studies
For Engineering & Studies, please contact: Janne Valkonen
We implement modification and development projects at nuclear facilities from individual components to large-scale systems. We carry out preliminary studies, needs assessments, suitability assessments and construction plans. We draw up the necessary programs and plans for qualification for environmental conditions and create the necessary documentation in cooperation with our customers. We have solid expertise in projects related to I&C, electrical and mechanical engineering.
Platom has decades of experience in radioactive waste management in Finland and abroad. Our customers include nuclear facilities, research institutes and other industries. Waste management solutions are engineered case-by-case, taking safety aspects into account. Our service covers feasibility studies, engineering, preparation of specifications and procedures, personnel training, and system and equipment deliveries.
We carry out projects for the entire life cycle of nuclear facilities, including design, licensing, operation, decommissioning and dismantling. We strive to improve safety, cost-effectiveness and environmental awareness.
Safety, Modelling & Analysis
For Safety, Modelling & Analysis, please contact: Pasi Junninen
We independently verify the fulfilment of the design criteria of nuclear power plants in terms of process systems, automation and plant level in connection with plant modifications, periodic safety reviews and new build projects. In this way, we ensure that a high level of nuclear safety is met impartially and independently.
We simulate virtual plant models, which are used to produce safety analyses. We use the versatile APROS software, which also integrates automation and control into the model, as well as various dynamic simulations. We also use the TRACE modeling program. Platom has expertise in the MELCOR program, which produces models and analyses for the assessment of severe reactor accidents. We also have expertise in radiation safety as well as probabilistic risk and safety analyses (PRA / PSA).
Platom’s people are experts of defense-in-depth safety, which forms the basis for the implementation of nuclear safety objectives for which independent safety functions on different layers are established. If one layer fails, the next one is activated and takes the plant to a controlled and eventually safe state.
Systems and Expert Services
For Design & System Deliveries, please contact: Janne Valkonen
We support nuclear facility system and plant projects, as well as modification projects, from preliminary studies to design, implementation support, commissioning and decommissioning.
Our core expertise includes feasibility studies, technical design at plant, system and equipment levels, procurement preparation, manufacturing support and supervision, installation and commissioning support, and technical consulting. We are also pleased to take on challenging projects with high safety classifications.
We have extensive experience in demanding technical projects related to e.g. nuclear fuel and radioactive waste management, reactors, primary circuit components, and uranium hexafluoride handling systems.
We implement projects flexibly, seamlessly complementing the customer’s project organization.
Project Management, Quality and Management Systems
For Project Management, Quality and Management Systems, please contact: Ariel Aatsinki
Platom’s experts have extensive experience in project management, project management support tasks such as scheduling and risk management, the implementation of delivery projects and development projects in accordance with processes, the preparation of project materials, and the reporting of project progress and finances.
Large projects involve a huge amount of documentation, regulatory letters, and tasks, which are essential to manage well for the overall success of the projects.
With regard to supply chain management, it is particularly important to monitor the management of requirements, changes and configurations, as well as to monitor the implementation of subcontractors’ work and deliveries on time and on agreed terms.
With their solid experience, Platom’s experts can help our customers create and develop their management systems to cover the specifics and requirements of the nuclear industry.
Safety Culture & Training
For Safety Culture & Training, please contact: Ariel Aatsinki
The basic prerequisite for the utilization of nuclear energy is to ensure nuclear and radiation safety. Safety culture is the set of characteristics and attitudes that ensures that nuclear safety issues receive the attention they deserve. Our skilled and committed team of experts organizes training and programmes to develop an organizational culture that promotes safety.
Platom supports the development of your company’s expertise with wide-ranging training and consulting services in the fields of nuclear industry and radiation safety. Our goal is to increase your company’s intellectual capital so that together we can build viable solutions for a cleaner and safer tomorrow.
All our training is tailored according to the customer’s wishes. Through open discussion, we aim to form the training package that provides the greatest added value to our customers. The training can be carried out virtually or on-site.
Radiation Safety Experts (RSE)
For RSE services, please contact: sta@platom.fi
Platom’s radiation safety experts provide RSE services in various areas of radiation use. Our radiation safety experts have diverse experience in radiation safety in different operating environments, both as radiation users and as authorities. Our radiation safety experts help to meet the requirements of radiation legislation in the use of radiation subject to a safety licence.
Our services cover the review of your radiation safety holistically, from practical radiation protection to licence processes. We plan the implementation of the service flexibly to best serve the quality, scope and current state of your own operations.
Our goal is to help customers meet the obligations of the Radiation Act and to ensure and optimize the safety and cost-effectiveness of their own radiation practices. It is important to us that the end result of the projects we carry out meets the set goals, so we always strive for low-threshold communication with all our customers.
UF6 Solutions
For UF6 solutions, please contact: Janne Valkonen
In the early 1990s, we had the opportunity to participate in the Megatons to Megawatts Program, which aimed to safely disarm former Soviet nuclear warheads. As part of this program, we designed and delivered systems for transferring and sampling downblended Russian UF₆, enabling its use in the Western enrichment industry.
Since then, we have continued to serve the UF₆ enrichment sector with a wide range of solutions — from process feed systems to the sampling of final products. At Platom, over 30 years of experience in the field have given us a comprehensive understanding of UF₆-related systems and problem solving.
Today, we are proud to support the enrichment and deconversion industries as they adapt to a shifting market. If you’re looking for a reliable, experienced partner in UF₆ feed, withdrawal, transfer, transport, or sampling, we’re here to help.
