US project management company PTAG has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with France-based Assystem for joint delivery of complex nuclear projects and programmes in Canada and the US. PTAG is a provider of capital programme and project management services to major energy utilities, nuclear waste management organisations, and small modular reactor (SMR) early adopters in North America. Assystem is the world’s third largest independent nuclear engineering company, delivering owner engineering services across new build projects, decommissioning, and waste management and fuel programmes.

The MOU establishes a framework for joint delivery of complex projects in North America spanning new build, refurbishment, decommissioning, fuelling and waste management initiatives. The partnership combines PTAG’s execution expertise with Assystem’s global nuclear engineering credentials, providing an integrated offering that supports clients through the full lifecycle of nuclear projects.

“This agreement reflects our commitment to supporting utilities and operators with solutions that deliver predictability and performance on their most complex programmes,” said Michael Dubreuil, Managing Partner at PTAG. “By aligning PTAG’s North American local project delivery expertise with Assystem’s global track record, we are equipping the industry to address both the growth of clean baseload energy and the responsible stewardship of nuclear waste.”

Christian Jeanneau, Assystem Executive Senior Vice President International & Digital said: “Together with PTAG, we are creating a partnership that brings international best practices and advanced engineering capabilities to North American markets, ensuring utilities and governments have the tools they need to meet net-zero and energy security goals.”
