Digital safety protocols that prevent decommissioning failures
Decommissioning aging nuclear reactors costs €1.4B and takes 22 years after decades of safety failures
SafeDecom converts decades of paper safety procedures into interactive digital checklists, version-controlled protocols, and real-time field tracking. Regulators and utilities gain visibility into adherence, dramatically reducing the safety incidents that commonly extend 22-year decommissioning projects.

Digital safety checklists and real-time oversight for nuclear decommissioning. Prevent the failures that add years and millions to projects.
Approach safety directors at utilities currently in active decommissioning (e.g. Magnox, WAK, and Ignalina) via industry safety working groups. Offer 90-day free pilot including digitization of their top 10 riskiest protocols and weekly usage reports.
Broad EHS platform
Generic, not nuclear-specific
Built from the ground up for nuclear decommissioning protocols
Increasing library of nuclear-specific protocol templates and regulatory mappings that becomes more valuable with every new customer
Accelerating retirements of analog-era reactors combined with new EU safety directives requiring demonstrable digital traceability
Safety protocol error leading to real-world incident
All protocols require customer SME sign-off before publishing; strong disclaimers
Solo dev building mobile experience
Use Hotwire and Turbo to keep mobile web-first; add native wrapper later
Success: At least 9 confirm pain of paper protocols and would pay for digital solution
Success: All three continue usage after pilot and provide case study
