Lions Global Unveils Apheliea℗: 

A Groundbreaking Regulatory Program for Accelerating Civil Nuclear Projects.

Lions Global is thrilled to introduce Apheliea, a groundbreaking regulatory program designed to streamline the deployment of civil nuclear projects. 

Apheliea is dedicated to simplifying the licensing process for future civil nuclear sites, including options for repurposing brownfield locations and contributing to greenfield site developments. This innovative program aims to assist both industry and regulators by developing tools and methods for effectively gathering and assessing historical environmental data, licenses, and permits. 

The goal is to reuse qualifying data for licensing purposes, thus accelerating project timelines and reducing costs. Additionally, Apheliea will set new industry standards for regulatory practices in the civil nuclear sector.

RJ Roux, President and CEO of Lions Global, "Apheliea will significantly enhance the efficiency of deploying new civil nuclear power projects. This program simplifies site determination and licensing, creating new industry solutions for power producers."

Apheliea aligns with the recently enacted ADVANCED Act (Accelerating Deployment of Versatile, Advanced Nuclear for Clean Energy Act), signed by President Biden on July 9, 2024. This bipartisan legislation is poised to advance the future of nuclear energy in America by offering cost reductions and process efficiencies.

The versatile Apheliea program supports multiple regulatory frameworks worldwide, making it an invaluable asset for countries developing strategic roadmaps that encompass multiple nuclear sites.

As leading experts in civil nuclear roadmap development, roadmap execution, and project siting, Lions Global recognizes the immense potential of Apheliea. 

We are excited to implement this groundbreaking program with our current and future clients. Lions Global is also committed to extending the unparalleled advantages of Apheliea to our partners, significantly boosting sustainability efforts and contributing to the creation of new, clean, and reliable civil nuclear energy.
