Engineering in the nuclear energy sector currently faces several significant challenges. Plants of this type of energy are costly and require significant long-term investments. Efforts are being directed towards the adoption of more efficient innovative technologies while meeting safety requirements, as well as addressing process optimization to shorten the time for the operation of new plants. New R&D developments, on the other hand, address new concepts such as modular reactors or the unprecedented world of nuclear fusion.

The engineering associated with the development of these plants involves the disciplines of civil and structural engineering, where SOLUTE contributes its know-how to tasks aimed at completing new development projects.
