Nuclear Power Plant Project Management – Connecting Engineering Excellence with Strategic Delivery

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Understand why and how nuclear projects are different to conventional Architectural Engineering Construction (AEC) projects
• Inform their client as to the additional requirements for a nuclear project
• Engage with the various stakeholders unique to a nuclear project
• Set-up and deliver a Project Plan which addresses also the unique nuclear aspects
• Prepare the necessary project management systems to address the unique nuclear aspects
• Identify the additional distinctive resources required for a nuclear project
• Manage the execution of a nuclear project including the unique reporting, inspections, approvals and assurances required for a nuclear project

• Project Managers (First-Time and Experienced Nuclear PMs) managing scope, schedules, budgets, risks, quality, stakeholders, compliance, and multidisciplinary teams.
• Owners and Customers of New Nuclear Build Projects representing clients throughout the nuclear project lifecycle.
• Engineers designing, analysing, reviewing, and implementing civil, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, structural, and systems engineering solutions.
• Regulators and Licensing Authorities enforcing nuclear requirements for site selection, design, construction, commissioning, operation, and decommissioning.
• Nuclear Owner and Operator Organisations overseeing safe and efficient facility development, commissioning, operations, maintenance, and long-term performance.
• NPP Licensing Specialists preparing and managing nuclear licensing documentation and submissions.
• Main Construction Contractors executing nuclear construction activities.
• Architect-Engineering Organisations ensuring compliance with nuclear codes, standards, licensing requirements, and quality management systems.
• Commissioning Staff planning and executing activities to verify safe, design-compliant performance of plant systems, structures, and components.
• Engineering and Construction Consultants supporting nuclear project planning, design, construction, commissioning, and operations.
• Planners and Schedulers tracking progress, analysing critical paths, forecasting delays, assessing schedule risks, and ensuring timely project delivery.
• Equipment Vendor Organisations ensuring products meet nuclear safety, quality, and regulatory requirements.

Prerequisite:

Participants should understand conventional project management principles, involvement in engineering, construction, or infrastructure projects. Prior knowledge or experience in the nuclear industry is not required.

• Basic
• Intermediate

This course is delivered through an engaging instructor-led classroom format that combines comprehensive presentation slides, videos, and detailed presentation notes with interactive learning activities. Participants will benefit from in-person lectures, facilitated discussions, group and individual presentations, and practical exercises designed to reinforce key concepts and encourage the application of nuclear project management principles to real-world scenarios. Throughout the programme, participants will progressively develop practical project management documentation, culminating in a portfolio of deliverables that includes a Project Charter for a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) project, a Project Management/Execution Plan for an NPP project of their choice, and a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) tailored to the same project. These practical outputs are developed through guided workshops and case studies, enabling participants to apply the knowledge gained during the course. To evaluate learning outcomes and assess participants’ understanding of Nuclear Power Plant project management principles, methodologies, and best practices, an open-book quiz/test will be conducted at the end of the programme. This blended learning approach ensures participants leave the course with both a solid theoretical foundation and practical tools that can be readily applied to future nuclear projects.
