The Norwegian Nuclear Commission has selected Amentum (NYSE: AMTM) and Multiconsult Norge AS to report on technology options for a potential nuclear power program.
Andy White, senior vice president of Amentum Energy & Environment International, said: “We will provide expert, impartial analysis to assist the Commission in developing a comprehensive knowledge base on nuclear power as a potential energy source in the Norwegian power system. Drawing on our previous experience in Poland and the United Arab Emirates, we understand the journey that new nuclear power nations need to undertake.”
The study will provide an overview of various reactor technologies and power plant designs, including small modular and advanced modular reactors. It will examine their technological maturity, estimated timeline for implementation and commercial availability, construction and operational costs, and their capability for flexible operation and associated costs.

“Our proven expertise in advanced nuclear technologies and strategic energy solutions positions Amentum perfectly to complete this vital study,” said Mark Whitney, president of Amentum Energy & Environment group.
This contract builds on Amentum’s previous work with Norwegian engineering company Multiconsult to assist Halden Kjernekraft AS to evaluate the potential for SMRs to meet energy needs and support employment growth in the Halden municipality in south-east Norway.
Also in Norway, Amentum together with Multiconsult recently secured a safety case framework with NND, the state decommissioning organisation, in addition to work the two companies have previously done on decommissioning planning at two research reactors.
