Social License to operate
Overview
Our services to the civil nuclear industry are framed by the concept of a social license to operate. This can also be considered to address economic, social responsibility and environmental issues.
What we offer
Our services include consultancy, inspection, assessment and certification against a variety of codes, standards and stakeholder requirements. We work to support Licensees, Regulators, Contractors, Operators and Manufacturers in addressing stakeholder concerns and expectations across the life cycle of civil nuclear facilities. We work pre-build, during new build, operation and decommissioning. We support plant life extensions and life time operational requirements.

LRQA is owned by the LRQA Foundation, a registered charity for the protection of safety of life and the environment.
We look to promote a safe and sustainable future, working for the benefit of society. We encourage a holistic approach that is inclusive, integrated, adaptive and long term.
