(1888PressRelease) January 13, 2011 - The Nuclear Atkins Assystem Alliance will enable both companies to address demand from governments and utilities in countries developing nuclear power as part of their energy mix and will provide services to nuclear new build projects and across the entire nuclear fuel cycle.

Atkins and Assystem are recognised by key participants in the global nuclear power industry for their engineering expertise and track record:

- The two companies each enjoy more than 40 years' experience in the nuclear sector, supporting the development of nuclear power programmes in two pioneering countries, France and the United Kingdom.

- Atkins has a reputation for delivering engineering excellence worldwide including in many countries which are considering adding nuclear power to their energy mix.

- Assystem has built its engineering reputation in some of the world's safest, most advanced nuclear technologies by working with such market leaders as AREVA and EDF, supporting them on all of their projects in France and abroad.

Keith Clarke, chief executive of Atkins, explained: "Nuclear engineering is a key part of Atkins' strategy going forward. The alliance with Assystem will give us a strong platform from which to deliver nuclear services to emerging international markets. The combination of our collective nuclear expertise will position us superbly to pursue opportunities in a broader array of markets with a wider range of services which go beyond our considerable presence in our own home markets."

Lucy Brennan, Conference Director at IQPC responded to the announcement saying "This is great opportunity for our delegates to interact directly with this new alliance and explore their solutions in a productive environment. Not only will it make for interesting and varied discussion, n.triple.a will certainly help support the event's aim to allow participants to take home essential practical advice and guidance from industry leaders."

The Nuclear New Build Ventures conference, taking place 19-21 January in Brussels, will explore the latest nuclear new build strategies and delegates will be able to share plans and best-practice frameworks to optimise their nuclear programmes.
