When a spacecraft embarks on a 30-year mission to the outer galaxy, how can we assess whether it is capable of surviving the harsh conditions it will encounter?
One possible answer is by tapping into the accumulated materials science knowledge of the nuclear industry

Graphite bricks are used in the core of all of the UK's Advanced Gas-Cooled Reactors (AGRs). Jacobs is deeply engaged in the programme of work to increase understanding of the cores’ tolerance to damage as they age.

Frederic Wheeler was appointed as Head of the Regulatory Support Directorate within Jacobs in April 2020.

An innovative twist on an established technology has created a powerful new tool for characterisation of radioactive material.

Specially designed and manufactured equipment is being used to perform underwater segmentation of the first ever VVER-440 reactor to be decommissioned.

Jacobs, the global technology-forward solutions company, is supporting the development of a new type of nuclear power plant.

Following its acquisition of Wood Nuclear in March 2020, global technology-forward solutions company Jacobs is the UK member of Eurosafe

Research by an international consortium could lead to extensions in the operational lifespan of nuclear power plants around the world. The INCEFA-SCALE programme aims to reduce uncertainties about how critical components will perform when subjected to the harsh conditions inside operational reactors.
