Current projects

ITPIA Services, NNB Hinkley Point C Project

UK - LRQA Apave was appointed by NNB Generation Company Limited as the ITPIA for the Hinkley Point project in 2009. We have been continuously providing independent conformity assessment and associated services at suppliers of all high integrity equipment and systems. 

France - AREVA contacted LRQA Apave in 2015 for an independent view of their concerns regarding manufacturing at one of their plants. We reported findings to AREVA, as well as to a panel of international nuclear safety authorities. Currently we provide independent assessments of the process improvements being introduced at the facility. 

China - France – UK - LRQA Apave is providing several training courses and support activities, primarily for the Hinkley Point supply chain. Spanning the pre-tender, tender and contract award phases, our services help clients prepare for and understand both the UK nuclear context and the Nuclear Equipment policy implemented by NNB for the HPC project.
