License Renewal Services
for Nuclear Power Plants
Due to an aging nuclear fleet and increased demand for clean, available energy, there is a renewed sense of urgency to extend plant operation. GSE experts are experienced in keeping nuclear plants running optimally while being mindful of regulatory constraints and commitments. We focus on ensuring the process is done correctly the first time, minimizing the impact on your operations, and ensuring safe, reliable energy generation throughout a facility’s lifespan.
GSE Programs & Performance, formerly known as True North Consulting, has been an industry leader in Engineering Programs since its inception in 1999. Historical data from Engineering Programs such as maintenance activities, operator rounds, and other tasks are vital to utilities; this data offers a natural extension into License Renewal Applications and License Renewal Implementation Support. In addition, we have assisted nearly all US utilities in developing new or enhanced programs for their plants, making GSE an ideal choice to support license renewal projects.
