Nuclear Energy Regulatory and Risk Consultants
Regulatory Strategy Solutions for Nuclear Energy Companies
Regulatory Strategy Solutions for Nuclear Energy Companies
Prometheus Nuclear was born out of the experience of its founder, Dr. Dan Joyner, who has been engaged in the study of nuclear energy regulation, writing and implementation of nuclear energy regulation on behalf of the U.S. government, and legal practice in nuclear energy law, for over 20 years.
In his legal practice, particularly, Dan has seen the huge recent increase in the number of new startup companies in the nuclear energy space. While some of those companies, along with legacy nuclear energy companies, need lawyers for large transactions or litigation, most don't need, and can't afford, outside legal counsel. Most nuclear startups have a GC who can take care of most legal work for the company.
But that GC is usually a legal generalist, who spends their days putting out fires. The GC knows that the company is in a highly regulated space, and that the company needs to establish and maintain an internal regulatory compliance system specific to nuclear regulation. But the GC doesn't have the subject matter specialization to put one in place, and hiring outside lawyers from a law firm to come in and do that is prohibitively expensive.
The GC also knows that many of the business decisions of the company going forward - from setting up information sharing and information security protocols, to strategic planning on technology development and deployment, to partnerships with private parties and government agencies, to technology and site licensing, to technology lifecycle planning - will all be affected by nuclear specific regulation.
This is where Prometheus Nuclear LLC comes in. We can provide nuclear regulatory consulting on all of these issues on a project specific or ongoing basis, without burdening the company with a full hire of a nuclear regulatory compliance specialist, or paying outside lawyers.
And even though we have deep legal practice experience, we are not a law firm. And you won't be paying law firm rates.
