Atkins has completed the acquisition of Nuclear Safety Associates (NSA), a US-based engineering and technical services firm, for an initial cash consideration of US$15m.
The acquisition of the 130-person firm could involve an addition US$12m subject to the future performance of the business.
NSA has expertise in nuclear safety, design engineering, and professional security services, with a reported revenue of around US$25m. 
Prof Dr Uwe Krueger, Atkins’ chief executive officer (pictured), commented: “This acquisition is another step towards our strategy to be one of the world’s leading energy consultancies.
“NSA will enhance our presence in North America, the world’s largest nuclear market, and its safety and security skills will strengthen our international nuclear offering.”
