Empower Your Journey

At Gibboney Nuclear, we help advanced reactor startups strengthen their licensing strategy and achieve faster regulatory approvals. Led by Sarah Gibboney, a nuclear engineer who has designed and licensed six nuclear reactor designs—two of which are now operating and selling power—and co-authored two advanced reactor Construction Permit Applications, we transform complex DOE and NRC requirements into precise, defensible safety cases. The result: reduced review cycles, lower regulatory uncertainty, and a smoother path from concept to construction.

Mission

Our Story

At Gibboney Nuclear, we believe the future of clean energy depends on turning advanced reactor innovation into licensed, operating plants. We partner with design teams to transform bold ideas into approved, bankable projects—bridging the gap between engineering brilliance and regulatory confidence.

Gibboney Nuclear specializes in licensing consulting for advanced nuclear startups. We are here to guide you through reactor licensing (safety and environmental reviews), regulatory oversight, and constructability reviews. Dedicated to excellence, we strive to empower new entrants to the nuclear industry to reach their full potential through strategic guidance and customized solutions that drive growth and success.
“Sarah played a pivotal role in developing and executing a first‑of‑its‑kind chemical testing program at MOX. She helped procure and assemble equipment, authored procedures without the benefit of a reference plant, supported our first Operational Readiness Review, and drove disciplined, event‑free testing in the PAF mixing study. I’m proud of the team’s accomplishments—and Sarah’s leadership and rigor stood out.”
