Nuclear – an attractive long-term growth marketNuclear – an attractive long-term growth market• High level of technical engineering expertise, proprietary technologies and deep client

relationships create barriers to entry and drive attractive margins• Decommissioning is a long term market which will benefit from the global ageing assets base;

of more than 400 current reactors worldwide, nearly 75% are more than 25 years old • Both firms have strong expertise in life extension of existing assets, and proprietary

technologies• Major new build investment also creates opportunities for the broader Atkins Group• Atkins’ existing nuclear business has grown at a CAGR of more than 20% since 2011/12,

with operating margins of around 10%.
