Screening for nuclear plants and SMR sites.
Long-term settlement and coastal chloride exposure of safety-class structures, tracked every quarter from space.
Why it matters
Safety-class structures age slowly, and the record matters.
Nuclear structures are inspected under strict regulation. PILLAR does not replace that work. It adds a portfolio-wide, repeatable screen of settlement and degradation that can support periodic safety reviews and life-extension evidence, and it can start an SMR site’s displacement baseline before construction.
- Containment and auxiliary buildings: screen 2 mm/yr and 1/1000
- Coastal chloride exposure with ERA5 climate and distance to the sea
- SMR sites: displacement baseline from site preparation, then the degradation model takes over the same zone
- Quarterly tracking with history kept for every run
What PILLAR checks
Nuclear plants and SMRs
Settlement trend
Yearly rates and a six-month TimesFM forecast per cell.
Concrete durability
Carbonation and chloride models for containment concrete.
Clear limits
Internal screening only, never an NSSC review or operating decision.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is PILLAR a regulatory tool?
No. It is internal screening. It does not replace periodic safety reviews, regulator reviews or operating decisions, and every report says so.
Can PILLAR start before an SMR is built?
Yes. A displacement baseline can be built from site preparation onward, so the same zone has a history when the structure is commissioned.

No equipment on site. We screen your structures from public satellite and climate data first, then compare the priority list with your own inspection and survey results.
