€400 million.

€400 million. 16 years. One of Europe’s most complex nuclear decommissioning projects.

When suppliers think about opportunities in nuclear, they often think about new reactor construction.

But some of the largest opportunities are found elsewhere.
Lithuania has launched an international tender worth approximately €400 million for the dismantling of the RBMK-1500 reactor cores at the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant—a project expected to run for around 16 years.

For suppliers, this is a reminder that nuclear decommissioning is a market in its own right.

Projects like this require far more than dismantling expertise. They create demand for engineering services, specialised equipment, robotics, remote handling, inspection technologies, waste management, digital solutions, logistics, and many other industrial capabilities.

For companies looking to enter or expand within the nuclear sector, these opportunities deserve just as much attention as new build projects.

The tender is available through the EBRD Electronic Procurement Portal: https://lnkd.in/dZnapnxu

Meet the Team!

We’re pleased to welcome Prof Sanjay Kumar to NucFinder as Business Development Director – India.

Sanjay brings decades of experience across EPC, power and infrastructure projects, strategic partnerships, and business development. Throughout his career, he has worked at the intersection of engineering, project execution, and industrial collaboration—experience that closely aligns with NucFinder’s mission.

Based in Mumbai, Sanjay will lead our business development activities in India, working with suppliers, buyers, EPCs, and industry organizations as the country’s nuclear sector enters a new phase of growth.

India is set to become one of the world’s largest nuclear markets, creating significant opportunities for companies across the global supply chain. Strengthening our presence in the region is an important step in NucFinder’s international growth, and we’re excited to have Sanjay leading this effort.

Welcome to the team, Sanjay!

Deep Fission recently announced the delivery of its prototype reactor canister, marking another important step in the development of its reactor concept.

Looking at this photo, it’s easy to see a single component.

What’s much harder to see is the supply chain behind it.
Every milestone like this is the result of years of engineering, procurement, manufacturing, quality assurance, inspections, logistics, and coordination between dozens of companies.

As the nuclear industry continues to grow, discussions often focus on reactor designs, licensing, and financing.

But every project ultimately depends on something much more fundamental: the ability of the supply chain to deliver.

Behind every reactor is an industrial ecosystem.

And as more projects move from concept to construction, that ecosystem will become one of the industry’s most important assets.
