Nuclear Power Experience

ABZ knows how nuclear plants are designed, engineered, constructed, operated, and maintained. ABZ knows the regulatory process, how regulations are developed, and implemented. This expertise is one of the reasons the Department of Justice chose ABZ to evaluate the multi-million dollar utility lawsuits related to the Department of Energy’s spent fuel contract.


Decommissioning Cost Estimates

ABZ prepares decommissioning cost estimates for contaminated facilities. The estimates incorporate over 20 years of experience in decommissioning oversight, management, and estimating.
