Some of our first studies were for our mining and metals and oil and gas clients. They were telling us one of their biggest expenses, after labor, is energy. And they would ask, What are these SMRs? Unfortunately, about a dozen years ago, there wasn’t much to tell them apart from, It’s an emergent technology. It’s something to watch. The potential is there. Hatch’s answer today is very different.” Some of the studies that followed on from there led to Hatch working with government agencies on advisory studies that now inform many of the logistics, regulatory frameworks, and policies around nuclear. At one point in time, Hatch even Since 1993 AMAG has provided high accuracy, clamp-on, ow measurement services worldwide and assisted our clients in achieving optimal performance within regulatory limits.
