List of tasks and services provided for consulting firms and individual experts in accordance with IAEA NG-G-3.1 "Milestones in the Development of the National Infrastructure for Nuclear Power" and Technical Reports Series No. 279

Based on the analysis of IAEA guides NG-G-3.1 "Milestones in the development of national infrastructure for nuclear energy" and TECHNICAL REPORTS SERIES No. 279 "Project management of a nuclear power plant", one can compile a list of key tasks that the Owner/Operator (Client), lacking sufficient experience, should delegate to external consultants and experts.

IAEA documents explicitly indicate that the Client bears ultimate responsibility, which cannot be delegated, but at the same time should delegate functions to an experienced lead contractor or engineer-architect, and also engage consultants to carry out specialized planning and engineering tasks.

Engaging small consulting firms and individual experts is common practice for performing highly specialized functions requiring independence and deep expertise (for example, legal review, financial modeling, quality audits, development of procedures).

Below is a step-by-step list of tasks and services that can be provided by small consulting firms and individual experts.

This list can be used to develop presentations and websites aimed at the Owner/Operator (Client) implementing a nuclear power plant project for the first time.
