Atomic Cost Information

Atomic Cost is an independent nuclear cost estimating and validation firm. Before capital commits to a nuclear project, someone independent should test whether the cost number holds. That is the work we do. We do not design the plant, sell the reactor, or build it. We hold no position in the outcome. The independence is the product. What we deliver: - Conceptual estimate packages for early-stage decisions - Detailed, execution-ready estimates - Independent third-party validation of estimates prepared by others - Schedule development and risk analysis - Benchmarking against comparable plants actually built - A plain answer on whether the number holds Built for utilities and owners, technology providers, EPCs, and the investors and lenders underwriting them. All reactor types: large light water, advanced, and small modular. The firm is led by Drew Allen, who has estimated more than forty-five nuclear plants across twenty countries and spent six years directing global cost estimating for GE Nuclear Energy and GE Hitachi, where he wrote the estimating policies and procedures both companies used. He is the author of Atomic Cost: Estimating Nuclear Power and Design to Cost: A Practical Guide to Control Capital Project Costs. When cost matters. atomiccost.com
