The Opportunity

Problem

Decommissioning aging nuclear reactors costs €1.4B and takes 22 years after decades of safety failures

Solution

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.

Target Audience

European nuclear utility executives and regulators overseeing aging reactor fleets

Differentiator

Live protocol version control tied to regulatory change management with automatic impact analysis

Competitive Analysis

Enterprise
Strength

Broad EHS platform

Weakness

Generic, not nuclear-specific

Our Advantage

Built from the ground up for nuclear decommissioning protocols

🏰 Moat Strategy

Increasing library of nuclear-specific protocol templates and regulatory mappings that becomes more valuable with every new customer

⏰ Why Now?

Accelerating retirements of analog-era reactors combined with new EU safety directives requiring demonstrable digital traceability

Risks & Mitigation

legalhigh severity

Safety protocol error leading to real-world incident

Mitigation

All protocols require customer SME sign-off before publishing; strong disclaimers

executionmedium severity

Solo dev building mobile experience

Mitigation

Use Hotwire and Turbo to keep mobile web-first; add native wrapper later

Validation Roadmap

pre-build14 days

Interview 12 nuclear safety managers

Success: At least 9 confirm pain of paper protocols and would pay for digital solution

mvp75 days

Pilot with 3 utilities digitizing 8 protocols each

Success: All three continue usage after pilot and provide case study

Pivot Options

  • Expand into full radiation protection records
  • Create marketplace for pre-built nuclear protocols
  • Offer on-site digital transformation consulting
