Safety assessment for radioactive waste, rebuilt for clarity.

We model how radionuclides could move from a disposal facility to people and the environment — and deliver the evidence in a form your reviewers can trace, check and trust.

  • Traceable models
  • Standards‑aligned
  • Direct access to the modellers

Why NuclideTrace

A new kind of assessment partner

Small and focused by design. You work directly with the people building your models.

Traceable by default

Every result ships with the inputs, assumptions and model version that produced it — so a reviewer can follow any number back to its source.

A focused team of five

No hand‑offs through layers of management. The modellers are the people you talk to.

Conservatism made explicit

We mark exactly where conservative assumptions enter, so their effect on the result is visible.

Standards‑aligned structure

Assessment context, scenarios, models and results organised the way IAEA safety standards describe the safety assessment — ready to slot into your safety case.

Services

Everything your safety assessment needs

Core

Disposal facility safety assessment

Operational and post‑closure safety assessment for near surface and geological disposal facilities — from assessment context and conceptual models to interpretation of results.

Discuss your facility →

Scenario analysis & FEPs

Screening of features, events and processes; normal evolution, altered evolution and human intrusion scenarios.

Radionuclide migration modelling

Source term, migration through engineered barriers and the geosphere, and exposure pathways in the reference biosphere.

Uncertainty & sensitivity analysis

Probabilistic assessment and sensitivity analysis that show robustness and the parameters that matter.

Safety case support

Results documented within the argument structure of the safety case, plus support with review questions.

Waste acceptance criteria review

Consistency checks between waste characterization data and facility waste acceptance criteria (WAC).

    Process

    From first call to final report

    1. 01

      Scoping

      Facility, purpose, schedule and constraints. We define the assessment context together.

      Scope of work · schedule

    2. 02

      Data review

      Inventory, site characterization and barrier design data reviewed; FEPs screened.

      Data register · FEP screening

    3. 03

      Model development

      Conceptual models per scenario, implemented as verified calculation models.

      Conceptual model report

    4. 04

      Calculation

      Deterministic and probabilistic runs with uncertainty and sensitivity analysis.

    Early partners

    We're choosing our first partner projects.

    As a new company, we can give early projects our full attention and shape our work around what you need. If you have an assessment coming up, let's talk.
