Depth NCL does not hold, delivered as if it did.
Some assignments need a discipline that no nuclear consultancy can justify holding permanently: nuclear security and safeguards, radiological survey, specialist environmental science, defence systems engineering. Rather than subcontract that work and hand the client a second supplier, NCL brings the affiliate’s specialists into its own team.
The affiliate’s people are named in the proposal, work to NCL’s arrangements and quality system, and appear to the client as part of one team. NCL selects them, integrates them and answers for the result. Several alliance members also work with NCL in this way, and Global Nuclear Security Partners is embedding people into NCL assignments today.

Case studySecurity specialists inside NCL workNuclear security and safeguards expertise is needed on many NCL assignments without justifying a permanent bench. Global Nuclear Security Partners, an alliance member, embeds its specialists into NCL work as affiliates: named in the team, working to NCL’s governance and quality system, with NCL answerable to the client for the whole deliverable.
