Hydrogen-3 Advanced Technology
The Hydrogen-3 Advanced Technology (H3AT) facility will be a research centre for tritium experiments at Culham Science Centre (UKAEA). The main purpose of H3AT is to simulate the reprocessing of exhaust from a tokamak fusion reactor (ITER), the future of providing a viable source of large-scale, safe, and environmentally friendly energy for the planet.
Our scope of work is to finalise the concept design, and carry out the preliminary and detailed design for the tritium loop at H3AT. The design contains eight different sub-systems to work and integrate with one another seamlessly to be able to test and optimise tritium recovery systems, as well as supplying tritium and other gases to several smaller experiments. The integrated project team consists of members from process, electrical, C&I, mechanical, structural, safety, and project delivery teams – working together to deliver H3AT to scope, time and budget.

Hinkley Point C As part of the Hinkley Technical Support Alliance (HTSA), Atkins has a huge variety of seconded staff embedded within our client organisations to provide specialist technical and project management services. These range from providing design support to the construction teams on site, to project managing the delivery of the safety case in the back office. These secondments are hugely rewarding experiences as they allow our staff the opportunity to develop their skills and experiences by working on live construction or operational sites. The breadth of secondment opportunities is exciting and offers plenty of variety to support individual personal and professional development.
Small nuclear
The UK Small Modular Reactor (SMR)
The UK Small Modular Reactor strives to be a nuclear power station that is an affordable, reliable, and investable solution to the domestic commitments of net zero and the international challenge of transitioning to low carbon energy systems. The SMR Design is currently in pre-concept phase and is preparing for the Generic Design Assessment (GDA) process beginning in 2021. Atkins has been collaborating with Rolls-Royce and 7 other companies in a consortium, providing wide- ranging support services via a diverse team of project and engineering disciplines. Atkins was chosen as the Civils, Structural & Architectural (CSA) lead to deliver the design of all principal islands, applying our knowledge and experience of UK and International new build projects.
Atkins has also completed a ‘Route to Net Zero Strategy’ report, which summarised key low-carbon interventions to address the operational and embodied carbon emissions estimated to be released from the new SMR Heavy Vessel factory.
