Nuclear Establishment Fire Risk Assessment (Hourly Rate)

Nuclear Establishment Fire Risk Assessment Services

Protecting People, Assets & Compliance in the Nuclear Sector

At Evolution Safety Solutions, we specialise in delivering high-level Fire Risk Assessments (FRA) specifically for nuclear establishments and facilities across the UK. Our service ensures that your site is fully compliant with UK fire safety legislation, Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) requirements, and the unique demands of working within the civil nuclear sector.

With deep expertise in nuclear safety, compliance, and risk mitigation, we provide comprehensive fire risk assessments that safeguard your people, property, and operations—while ensuring full regulatory readiness.

What Is a Nuclear Establishment Fire Risk Assessment?

A Fire Risk Assessment is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, but in nuclear establishments, the stakes are significantly higher. Due to the presence of hazardous materials, sensitive equipment, and critical infrastructure, these assessments must go beyond standard protocols.

Our Nuclear FRA services consider:

• ONR and HSE nuclear safety guidance

• Radiological risk zones and containment areas

• Fire detection, suppression, and compartmentalisation

• Emergency procedures for nuclear-specific hazards

• Regulatory inspections and enforcement readiness

What’s Included in Our Fire Risk Assessment Services

Our FRA for nuclear sites is detailed, site-specific, and carried out by qualified fire safety professionals with nuclear experience. We offer:

1. Hazard Identification & Risk Evaluation

• Identification of ignition sources, fuel loads, and fire spread pathways

• Evaluation of nuclear-specific fire hazards and safety-critical areas

• Analysis of historical incidents, hot work procedures, and operational risks

2. Fire Prevention & Mitigation Strategies

• Recommendations for passive and active fire protection systems

• Guidance on materials, housekeeping, and process improvements

• Support for compliance with nuclear fire codes and best practices

3. Assessment of Fire Detection & Suppression Systems

• Maintenance and inspection protocols for critical systems

4. Evacuation Planning & Emergency Procedures

• Fire drills, communication systems, and response coordination

• Integration with radiological protection protocols

5. Planning Fire Strategy & Design Consultancy

• Fire strategy development for new builds, refurbishments, and plant upgrades

6. Compliance Reporting & Recommendations

• Fully documented fire risk assessment report

• Action plans prioritised by risk severity and compliance urgency

• Support for internal audits and external regulatory inspections

Please Note

While we provide full fire risk assessment and consultancy support, we do not carry out final regulatory approval or enforcement inspections. These must be conducted by the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) or relevant enforcing authorities. However, our services ensure your site is fully prepared and compliant ahead of any official audit or inspection.
