With over 50 years’

experience in the

nuclear industry.

Capula supports the full life cycle

of nuclear energy from new build

to waste management and

decommissioning.

Capula’s decommissioning and waste management systems safely control the processing and storage of nuclear waste. Our operational solutions are used for new fuel production and enable nuclear generation to continue as a viable option in the UK’s energy strategy.

We apply our nuclear and automation expertise to the defence sector through a wide range of mission critical programmes. Our systems and solutions help our clients optimise their research, design, manufac-turing and maintenance operations whilst enabling regulatory compliance with environmental and safety standards.
