Nuclear Experience
Energy White Paper
We are currently advising extensively on issues connected with new build. Please contact us for further details.
International
One of our key areas of experience is on connection with the application of international nuclear laws. We have experience of applying IAGA laws and standards and can advise foreign governments seeking to introduce new nuclear legal regimes.
Nuclear Decommissioning Authority
We are on one of its panel law firms following a successful tender in 2005. In 2007 we were appointed to their projects panel, to advise on the Magnox South Project.
Ministry of Defence
We advised the MoD on the re-contracting of the Atomic Weapons Establishment – a £2.5 billion value contract. This included advice in the tender stages through to the final award of the contract and the establishment of a new consent under the Radioactive Substances Act 1993. Many of the corporate structures employed there are instructive to other contracts in the nuclear sector.
Imperial College London
We are advising Imperial College on the potential decommissioning of their Consort reactor.
International Nuclear Lawyers Association
Ian Salter has been a member since 1998 and spoke at their 2005 conference in Portoroz. Burges Salmon was also a major sponsor of the 2007 conference, where Ian was also a speaker.
Site Licence Companies
We advise several SLCs on operational issues on their sites.
Healthcare Sector
We advise several companies in this sector in connection with its use of radioactive substances.
