Services Overview
We provide agile solutions integrated into our customers’ business processes.
FPoli has a long history in supporting safety analyses for nuclear installations from the definition of the most effective licensing strategy to the development of credible and traceable evaluation models which can withstand the rigor of regulatory approval. FPoli team is fully trained and qualified is using the most advanced modeling and simulation tools available today as well as the know-how of legacy code and methods accepted in the industry
Leveraging modern software and data management tactics the know-how and lesson learned have been formalized in our set of enterprise tools, OGMA, RISE and GAIA.
Our solutions and services are designed to be easily integrated with established processes in your organization.

Safety Analysis
The Problem
The preparation of the ‘safety case’ and the review of such by the regulatory agency remains a monumental multi-millions hours effort.
The Evaluation Model Development and Assessment Process (EMDAP), formulated in Regulatory Guide 1.203, is de-facto the industry standard of practice to collect the organize the evidence supporting the safety case. The generation of the information and the review of a new NPP safety case can span over half a decade. In 2018 the final cost of the DC review was projected to be up to $65 million. A recent Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) analysis suggests licensing costs (just the review fees) for future plants will be in excess of $100 Million.
Nuclear Engineering Consulting

- Uncertainty analysis
- Test programs consolidated and qualified database
- Scaling and applicability analysis
- Risk analysis (PRA, D-PRA)
- Thermal-hydraulics, fuel thermo-mechanics, and core physics with several Industry codes: RELAP5-3D, COBRA-TF, TRACE, GOTHIC, RADTRAD, PARCS, TRANSURANUS
Modeling & Simulation
OGMA Service: Assessment of Evaluation Model Adequacy
Our OGMA Service simplifies the evaluation model development process, consistently with USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.203, by integrating workflow management, data analysis, and results calibration, ensuring precise model assessment and alignment with experimental data
- Manage simulations workflows
- Collect and organize tests (experiments) and simulation data (predictions)
- Perform post-processing of simulation results including custom analytics
- Compare predictions to experimental data
- Synthesis of results visualize results in transformed coordinates applied math to establish a distance metric between UQ and EM Models Calibration
- Automated reporting
Experimental Data Warehousing
Our Process
We unify experimental data from varied sources into a consistent, searchable repository, creating a single source of truth and seamless integration with modeling and simulation.
- Collect, warehouse, cure and maintain legacy experimental data obtained from disparate sources across the industry, regulatory agency and research institutions.
- With OGMA, create a consolidated and consistent experimental data sets single-point-of-truth for the organizations
- Create a searchable/scrutable enterprise system
- Ease of use and automation: Create a direct link from data to modeling and simulation
Licensing & Regulatory Compliance
Our Process
We provide a collaborative, secure platform to streamline safety case development, optimize design, and automate documentation, supporting compliance and regulatory review throughout the plant’s lifecycle.
- Create collaborative environments for engineering teams and stakeholders within their organization as they build the ‘safety case’ for their plants.
- Digest large and complex data structures needed to characterize the engineered safety features and relationships with scenarios and events.
- Optimize design to satisfy safety and economics goals.
- Guide analysts through complex workflows of simulations, data processing and qualification, analyses, and documentation.
- Maximize the value of enterprise technical data with enhanced security and process automation.
- Automate the creation of documentation and smart procedures for quality, transparency and expedited regulatory review.
- Provide a platform for maintaining the safety case throughout the life of the plant.
- Fit solutions seamlessly within established processes of the organization.
