Hinkley Point C new nuclear build, U.K.- construction phase
We design and deliver infrastructure solutions for civil nuclear power generation, as well as clearing the legacy of past nuclear activities and researching next generation technology.
Nuclear energy is a dependable, low-carbon source that supports power resilience for our communities and across all industries—from everyday use to powering data centers and enabling water desalination and reuse. We bring our expertise in nuclear decommissioning and regeneration, new nuclear build, radioactive waste disposal, environmental compliance and monitoring, and nuclear research to support the energy transition and clean up our environment.
What we do
We're redefining civil nuclear delivery—advancing low-carbon energy, safeguarding critical infrastructure and supporting the full lifecycle from new build to decommissioning, all while helping nations meet their climate and security goals.

Nuclear Decommissioning & Remediation
With decades of experience at the world’s most complex nuclear sites — including Sellafield, Savannah River, Hanford and Oak Ridge — we bring a proven track record in decommissioning and cleanup. We integrate safety case management, environmental consultancy and health physics with core engineering capabilities. Our services include site investigation, characterization, risk assessments, remedial design and remediation of radiologically contaminated soil, groundwater, structures and other materials.
-
Nuclear Power
We support government and commercial clients through all phases of nuclear power development, including site hazard evaluation, program management and engineering design. We’ve shaped the U.K.’s nuclear industry since its inception and continue to advance new build programs and next-generation technologies, including small modular reactors (SMRs), advanced modular reactors (AMRs) and nuclear fusion systems.
-
Radioactive Waste Disposal
More than 70 years of global nuclear activity has produced radioactive waste from energy production, medical use and defense programs. Safe, long-term management is essential.
We offer siting, characterization, engineering, permitting and compliance services for near-surface and deep geological disposal. As a licensed waste broker, we also support radioactive waste tracking and logistics.
-
Environmental Compliance & Monitoring
We provide soil, air and groundwater monitoring services to support environmental compliance for radionuclides-related projects. Our team offers advanced radiation monitoring and safety programs to help clients meet rigorous regulatory standards.
-
Nuclear Research
From fusion energy to fundamental physics, today’s nuclear science demands advanced infrastructure. We support leading research initiatives with civil and structural engineering, tunnel design, systems integration and regulatory strategy—shaping the future of nuclear science.

Hinkley Point C, U.K.
Jacobs plays a critical role in delivering Hinkley Point C, the U.K.’s first new nuclear power station in a generation. We’re providing engineering, technical and project management services across key areas including civil, structural and architectural design, construction management and systems integration. Our work supports the project’s goals of delivering low-carbon electricity to nearly six million homes, boosting energy security and helping the U.K. meet its net zero targets.
-
U.K. Geological Disposal Facility (GDF)
For decades, we've led siting, site evaluation and geoscience characterization programs for the U.K.’s geological disposal facility. Our work includes developing national screening methods, site descriptive models and plans to identify and assess suitable locations for the country’s radioactive waste.
-
Wylfa Newydd Nuclear Power Station, U.K.
We led the environmental consenting program for the planned Wylfa new build nuclear power station—one of the largest and most complex energy-related environmental assessments in the U.K., spanning both land and marine environments.
-
U.S. Department of Energy and Atomic Energy of Canada Limited Nuclear Decommissioning
We've delivered safe, innovative solutions at the most complex nuclear cleanup and production sites, including the Idaho Cleanup Project, Oak Ridge and Savannah River.
-
Radioactive Waste Management, Australia
From 2018 to 2024, we led studies, planning and design efforts to help establish a national radioactive waste management facility in Australia. Based on our international experience in advancing site selection for similar facilities, we’ve been retained to support future consenting and design phases.
