All of Our Services
Nuclear SMR Integration
ARC is actively engaged in supporting the deployment of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). As utilities embrace nuclear as a clean and reliable energy source, ARC provides the strategic consulting and operational support across the SMR lifecycle, from early stage planning and regulatory navigation to supply chain development and workforce strategy. Our team understands the unique demands of the nuclear sector and delivers tailored solutions to ensure safe, timely, and efficient SMR integration.
SMR Life Cycle Phases
ARC's Offering
We design and implement Integrated Management Systems (IMS) that unify quality, safety, environmental, and operational processes into a single, streamlined digital framework. Tailored specifically for early stage projects in energy and infrastructure, our IMS approach provides the foundation for regulatory readiness, stakeholder transparency, and long-term operational efficiency.
Our team helps define system requirements based on ISO standards and industry best practices, ensuring your organization is well prepared for licensing, permitting, and compliance reporting.
Our services include:
- Centralized document control and versioning
- Audit ready tracking of quality, safety, and environmental procedures
- Custom workflows and approval hierarchies
- User access and security protocols aligned with data governance needs
- Integration with tools like SharePoint, Microsoft 365, and project controls software
By establishing an IMS early in the project lifecycle, you not only support better decision-making and collaboration during the feasibility phase, but you also lay the groundwork for a scalable system that can grow with the project through construction, operation, and eventual decommissioning.
We provide the foundational IT infrastructure needed to support the complex technical work that takes place during the feasibility study phase. Our solutions enable engineering, environmental, economic, and policy teams to collaborate efficiently, securely, and remotely with the performance and scalability required for high stakes analysis.Our services include:
- Cloud based environments configured for modeling, GIS, and simulation software
- Secure remote access solutions for cross-functional and partner teams
- Network architecture and data storage planning to support large scale data sets
- Integration of specialized feasibility tools and platforms
- Performance optimization to ensure smooth, reliable access to resource intensive applications
We work closely with technical consultants, Project Managers, and leadership teams to ensure the IT environment is stable, secure, and aligned with project timelines. By setting up the right infrastructure from the start, we help you avoid delays, reduce risk, and build a digital foundation that can scale into the licensing, construction, and operational phases ahead.
We help organizations establish strong data governance and Cyber Security frameworks early in the project lifecycle to ensure information integrity, regulatory compliance, and stakeholder trust. As projects progress through feasibility toward licensing, managing data securely and responsibly becomes essential, particularly when engaging with government bodies, Indigenous partners, and technical consultants.
Our services include:
- Development of data classification and access control policies
- Implementation of secure storage, encryption, and backup solutions
- Cyber Security risk assessments tailored to project scope and sensitivity
- Compliance alignment with relevant privacy laws, ISO standards, and industry regulations
- Data planning, particularly for Indigenous or community held data
We ensure your project’s digital assets are protected from day one, whether it’s feasibility models, environmental data, engagement records, or proprietary research. Our frameworks are designed to evolve with your project, supporting audit trails, secure collaboration, and data accountability through every stage from pre licensing to decommissioning.
With Canada's SMR roadmap accelerating, ARC provides the technical backbone and regulatory foresight nuclear IT professionals need - from aligned frameworks to real time process opimization.
